MyDD · AI literacy for the kids growing up with it

Raise a kid who can tell when AI is wrong.

Kids are already using AI. MyDD builds the judgment to use it well: why it gets things wrong, how to spot it, and a grown-up who can see how it's going. Start with a game that turns catching a hallucination into a win.

Four ways in, for families, homeschools, classrooms, and developers.

Why literacy, not lockout

Kids are already using AI. Almost nothing teaches them how.

Young people already use AI to research, brainstorm, and procrastinate. The tools they reach for hand over an answer and never say when it's wrong, and you're left refereeing something nobody gave you a manual for. Blocking it doesn't work for long. Teaching does.

MyDD is a driving instructor for AI. The kid drives. MyDD catches what they miss, until they catch it themselves.

The alternative isn't a kid who avoids AI. It's a kid who believes whatever it says.

What AI literacy looks like

Three habits, in every MyDD experience.

At home, in a homeschool, in a classroom, or inside your own app, the shape is the same. They learn to question it, they practice for real, and a grown-up stays in the loop.

They learn to question it

Catch AI when it's wrong

A game where AI characters bluff, flatter, and make things up on purpose. Kids and teens earn stars for catching them, until spotting a confident wrong answer becomes a reflex.

They practice for real

An AI built for learning, not shortcuts

An age-tuned chatbot that won't just hand over the answer, won't flatter, and stays in its lane. The place they use AI every day, on homework and curiosity, while the habit sticks.

Grown-ups stay in the loop

Visibility, not surveillance

Every conversation named by topic and summed up in a sentence. A weekly digest, a safety alert when it matters. Kids know an adult can see it. That's the point.

Who's behind it

MyDD was built by three parents who didn't want to hand their kids ChatGPT or ban it. So we built the thing in between.

MyDD outscores every frontier model on child safety.

Tested against KORA, the independent, open-source benchmark for AI child safety, built with 15+ child-safety experts, psychologists, and researchers.

93.9% Exemplary

purpose-built safety outperforms general-purpose AI by 18+ points

MyDD's 93.9% overall score was published by the KORA team in their own write-up. Comparison scores from KORA's public leaderboard (v1.1, May 2026); GPT-5.3 Instant was ChatGPT's free default through early May 2026. Explore the benchmark at korabench.ai.

A 93.9% child-safety score is the floor, not the point. Safety keeps the tool from hurting them. Judgment is what they walk away with.

How it works

Three steps, whichever door you pick.

  1. 1 Pick your path. Family, homeschool, classroom, or developer.
  2. 2 Start free. A 14-day trial, a free first lesson, or the API waitlist. No card to look around.
  3. 3 Watch it stick. Your kid uses AI daily, you get a weekly digest and a heads-up if anything needs you.
One mission, four front doors

Wherever your kid meets AI, there's a way in.

The same safe, skill-building approach, shaped for where you are. Start with the one that fits. The rest are one subscription away.

What changes

From a kid who uses AI to a kid who can tell when it's wrong.

For your kid
  • Spots a confident wrong answer instead of pasting it into homework.
  • Uses AI to think, not to skip thinking.
  • Asks “how do you know that?” without being prompted.
For you
  • You know what they're using it for from a weekly digest, not a spot-check.
  • The dinner-table AI conversation happens on purpose, not after something goes wrong.
Start where you are

Give the kids growing up with AI the judgment to question it.

Pick the door that fits: family, homeschool, classroom, or developer, and start building the habit of questioning what AI tells them.

Four ways in. One mission: help every kid use AI critically.
