Why Safety Comes First: How We're Different from Other AI Toys

The Problem with AI Toys Right Now

If you've been following the news lately, you've probably seen the concerning headlines. Major consumer safety organizations just released reports about AI-powered toys giving dangerous and inappropriate responses to children.

Testing by U.S. PIRG and NBC News found that several popular AI toys on the market would give inappropriate instructions or discuss topics not suitable for children. These aren't theoretical concerns - these are real products being sold this holiday season.

How We're Building Something Better

We took these warnings seriously from day one. Here's how we're different:

1. Multiple Layers of Safety Filtering

Every single response goes through multiple safety checks before reaching your child:

• Content filters that block inappropriate topics entirely
• Age-appropriate language verification
• Dangerous information blockers
• Real-time monitoring for concerning patterns

Unlike other toys that rely solely on the base AI model, we've built custom safety layers specifically designed for children.

2. Character Design with Child Psychology

Our characters are designed by child development experts, not just engineers. Every personality is encouraging, age-appropriate, and focused on creative play.

3. No Addictive Design

Many AI toys use gamification tactics to keep kids hooked. We refuse to use these tactics. Our toys say goodbye kindly and encourage the child to go play, draw, or spend time with family.

4. Complete Parental Control and Transparency

Parents can see transcripts of every conversation, set time limits, and customize allowed topics.

5. The Parent Chat Option

Here's something no other AI toy offers: If you don't want AI talking to your child at all, you don't have to use it. Our app includes a Parent Chat Mode. You can chat with your child through their drawing or toy yourself. It's YOU responding through the app - adding your own voice and values.

6. Ongoing Safety Audits

We continuously monitor conversations (anonymously) for safety issues, work with third-party child safety experts, and respond immediately to any reported issues.

Our Commitment to You

Recent news about AI toys should concern every parent. It concerns us too.

We're building this technology because we believe it can enhance childhood imagination in beautiful ways. But only if it's done right. Only if safety comes first. Only if parents maintain control and transparency.

Your child's safety isn't negotiable. Neither is ours.
