Our Bedtime Story Manifesto

Remember the magic of bedtime stories? The way they transported us to far-off lands, introduced us to fascinating characters, and sparked our imagination? We do. And we wondered: what if we could recreate that magic, but with real knowledge from the world's largest encyclopedia?

When we looked at existing bedtime stories, we noticed a trend: many were filled with hollow plots, lacking substance and real educational value.

We knew we could do better.

That's why we created jojo. We believe that learning should be an adventure, not a chore. We saw the vast wealth of information on Wikipedia—a treasure trove of human knowledge—and we thought, "What if we could turn this into bedtime stories?"

With jojo, we're not just summarizing Wikipedia articles. We're transforming them into engaging narratives. Our AI doesn't just condense information—it crafts stories. It finds the human element within the facts, the drama behind the data. Whether it's the biography of John Deere, the geological impact of the 1759 Near East earthquake, or the strategic brilliance in the Siege of Constantine, jojo turns it into a tale worth telling and remembering.

But why bedtime stories? Because that's when our minds are most open, most receptive. It's a time for winding down, yes, but also for wonder. A time when we're free from the distractions of the day and can truly lose ourselves in learning.

And why make them available as podcasts? Because we believe learning should fit seamlessly into your life. We've made a conscious decision to let you listen to jojo stories on your favorite podcast apps, rather than building our own audio player. Here's why:

• Mature, user-friendly platforms: Apps like Apple Podcasts and Castro have perfected the listening experience over years of development. They offer intuitive interfaces and features that users already know and love.
• Sleep-friendly features: These apps come with well-designed sleep modes and related features, making them ideal for bedtime stories. They can automatically stop playback, gradually lower volume, or set sleep timers - perfect for drifting off to sleep with jojo.
• Focus on our strengths: We believe in doing one thing exceptionally well. Our focus is on creating captivating, educational bedtime stories using AI. By leveraging existing podcast platforms, we can pour all our energy into perfecting our storytelling, rather than reinventing the wheel with another audio player.
• Seamless integration: We want jojo to fit into your life, not disrupt it. By allowing you to use your preferred podcast app, we're ensuring you can enjoy our stories without changing your habits or learning a new system.

We created jojo for the curious child who always asks "why?" For the adult who never lost their sense of wonder. For anyone who believes that learning is a lifelong journey, best taken one bedtime story at a time.

Join us in reimagining how we learn, how we share knowledge, and how we tell the story of our world. With jojo, every night is an opportunity for discovery, every bedtime a chance to dream of all we can learn.

Sweet dreams and happy learning,

The jojo team
