to walk through.

Every Chinese character is a tiny philosophy.

心 means heart — and also mind. Because in Chinese, there was never a separation.

Most apps teach you to pass a test. XiaoMa teaches you to see the world through 3,000 years of accumulated wisdom.

No streaks. No points. No gamification.

Just you and the language, walking together.

XiaoMa uses AI to meet you where you are. Every conversation is a doorway into philosophy, history, and ways of seeing.

The name means "little horse" — a nod to Journey to the West, where the white horse carried Xuanzang across the world to bring back sacred texts. XiaoMa carries you through the language the same way.
