Project Summary

Kenility built an MVP mobile app for Storylands (an EdTech SaaS company) to validate user demand for heritage-language storybooks on Apple and Android tablets. The vendor delivered the app using Flutter with backend services (Node.js, MongoDB), integrated Google Speech-to-Text, deployed to cloud infrastructure, and provided weekly updates and a one-month warranty after a two-month build. The engagement enabled the client to launch a beta with 300 users.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

Kenility ran discovery meetings, proposed a scoped solution, and assembled a team to build a two-month MVP. They developed a cross-platform app (Flutter) with backend services (Node.js, MongoDB), integrated Google Speech-to-Text for the core learning feature, conducted monthly demos, and delivered a beta-ready product followed by a one-month warranty period for bug fixes. The team provided weekly syncs and hands-on product guidance for the non-technical founder.
