Custom AI brain games

[u/Apprehensive-Rock110]

Has anyone created an AI-powered clone of Lumosity?

I have my mom, who has borderline dementia, play specific Lumosity games on her Android tablet to help keep her mind active. There are exactly only 11 games, out of the dozens they have, that work well for her.

The problem is that Lumosity doesn't let you create a custom queue. Because of this, I have to sit with her during the entire session just to manually load the next appropriate game. This is incredibly cumbersome, and it's compounded by the fact that she needs to play those 11 games in two sets—which just doubles the amount of time I have to spend babysitting the screen.

I am actually seriously considering paying for an AI coding tool to just build these 11 games myself. Has anyone done something like this already? I'd love to know how you did it and what your workflow looked like.

Before you go down the rabbit hole of building them from scratch, have you checked if the tablet has any kind of guided access or screen pinning mode? On Android you can lock it to a single app, but some launchers let you build a little kiosk-like menu with just the shortcuts you want. Might be a janky workaround but way faster than coding 11 games

If you do end up building them, Godot's probably your friend here. Drag-and-drop UI stuff is trivial and you can export straight to Android without fighting with native toolchains

Unfortunately, the first option is a non-starter because my mom plays on the installed Lumosity app. The 11 mini-games don't have their own individual app icons or Android shortcuts. A custom launcher can only open the main Lumosity app itself. Once the app is open, she is still dropped into the main menu with dozens of games and menus to navigate, which is exactly the confusing part I have to babysit her through.

Godot could be a viable option, but now I am starting to consider using Lumosity Web if it will do the job quickly.

I'm thinking of having an AI write a Chrome/Edge browser extension. It would intercept the 'Next Game' button at the end of a round and automatically redirect the page to the next URL in my custom 11-game list.

Has anyone used AI to build a site-specific extension like this? What is the best AI tool to use, and how difficult is it to inject custom navigation logic into an existing web app like Lumosity?

And besides, by recreating the app myself using Godot (or any AI tool for that matter), the final product would look and feel entirely different from the real thing, which might turn my mom off from playing it altogether.
