Zenaiya is a conversational AI chess coach and tutor powered by Grok. Traditional chess engines output cold scores like +1.4 without explaining why a move failed. Zenaiya reviews your matches in plain language, explaining tactical blunders, missed opportunities, and opening principles like a private instructor. Features real-time interactive chat to ask questions about any position and an Adaptive Response Timing engine for realistic human-like practice. Available free on iOS & Android.

Could you build this?

Yes It pairs an open-source engine such as Stockfish for evaluation with an LLM (Grok) that explains moves in plain language. Both are available as APIs or libraries, so the integration is straightforward.
