DuckyHelper is a live voice tutor for anything on your screen. Press fn and ask out loud. Ducky sees your screen, talks you through it, and shows you. A rounded pointer flies over and draws right on your real screen: circles, arrows, boxes, highlights and labels, one mark at a time, like a pen. It walks you through your own apps and websites step by step, and moves on only when you really did the step. It makes quizzes, graphs, worked steps and flashcards right in the pill, and your dashboard keeps your time learned, your streak and your topics. Any subject, anyone. DuckyHelper is made by MingLLM.

The
Tutor That
Shows You.

MingLLM is a startup in the Bay Area. We build foundation models for embodied AI, and tools that help people learn and work. DuckyHelper is our tutor.

We think anyone can learn anything if someone shows them. A tutor that only talks can tell you where to click. Ducky shows you. Press fn on your Mac and ask out loud. Ducky sees your screen, talks you through it, and draws right on your screen to point at the exact spot.

DuckyHelper started with our founder, Yiming Beckmann. He is 14 and a grade school dropout. He studied for the SAT with DuckyHelper and went from 1120 to 1600 in two weeks.

And we're just getting started.

We care about showing you, not just telling you.
We care about learning out loud.
We care about you really doing the step.
We care about learning inside your own apps.
We care about any subject, for anyone.
