Who We Are & Where We Are
WordRunner started with a problem no one expected. My daughter came home needing to prepare for a test on vocabulary, grammar, and figurative language. I wanted to help — but as a native speaker, I didn't actually know the formal rules. I write fluently, but I couldn't explain morphology or name the syntax rules I use daily.
So we turned to AI. We asked Google's Gemini to generate practice sentences and grade her answers against formal rules. It worked remarkably well. With zero coding experience, we used AI tools to build WordRunner from scratch — and we named it after Blade Runner, because the idea stuck: you get a list, you hunt each target down, and you don't stop until every one is retired.
"It wasn't that traditional methods weren't working — it was that I couldn't fully employ them. I didn't have the knowledge to help my daughter as much as she needed. AI changed that, and WordRunner is the result."
WordRunner has been tested by one student so far — the co-founder's daughter. Her test scores improved. Her confidence with grammar and figurative language grew. That's our only data point, and we're honest about it.
Our first school pilot starts soon. We don't have testimonials yet — we have hopes. If you'd like to follow our progress, join an early pilot, or simply tell us what you think — we'd genuinely welcome your feedback. We're building this in the open because we think that's the right way to do it.
