Ship kid-safe AI without building the safety layer yourself.
You want to put AI in a product children will actually use. We've already built the hard part, age-calibration, safety filtering, COPPA-compliant consent, and parent visibility, and we're opening it up as an API.
The guardrails that keep kids safe take months to build and are easy to get wrong. You don't have to.
Early access is free. We'll only email about the API.
Adult AI wasn't built for kids
General-purpose models answer a nine-year-old the same way they answer an adult. Making them safe for children is a project of its own, and the cost of getting it wrong lands on you.

You need safe AI in a product for kids
Generic LLMs don't calibrate for age, and the guardrails that make them safe take months to build. On top of that, COPPA exposure is real, and parents won't trust a product that can't show them what their child actually did.

You don't want to be the one who ships something that hurts a kid
The stakes here aren't a bug ticket. One bad answer to a child is the kind of thing you can't quietly patch and move on from.

Kids' products shouldn't run on adult AI
Children deserve AI built for them, with limits, calibration, and a parent in the loop, not a thin filter bolted onto a model made for grown-ups.
We've already solved the hard part
We're parents who built an AI product for our own kids first. We know the worry that comes with putting AI in front of a child, and we spent that worry building a safety layer we trust with our own families.
That layer runs in production today, powering MyDD Chat, MyDD Learn, and the parent dashboard. It's COPPA-first by design, age-calibrated by default, and built so a parent can always see what happened. The API is that same foundation, opened up to you.

Getting started is three steps
- 1
Join the waitlist
Add your email and tell us what you're building. That's the whole ask.
- 2
Get the spec and early keys
As the API firms up, you'll get the documentation and early access keys before it's public.

Ship with safety built in
Launch your feature on a foundation that already handles age-calibration, COPPA, and parent visibility.
Build the thing kids' products have been missing
The same building blocks that power MyDD Learn, MyDD Chat, and the parent dashboard, exposed so you can bring them into your own product.
- chat
Safe AI chat as a service
Drop age-calibrated, safety-filtered AI conversation into your app, the same guardrails that ship to families, behind a single endpoint.
- learners.progress
Learning progress
Read a learner's journey through the MyDD Learn worlds and levels, completions, milestones, skills demonstrated, to power dashboards or rewards.
- parents.visibility
Parent-visibility hooks
Surface summaries and alerts inside the tools parents and educators already use, instead of asking them to check another dashboard.
- webhooks
Event webhooks
Subscribe to what matters, a level completed, a safety flag raised, a new summary ready, and react in real time from your own backend.
- content
Curriculum & content
Pull our AI-literacy lessons and prompts into an LMS, a classroom tool, or a homeschool planner, kept in sync with what we publish.

Something we haven't thought of
Tell us the thing you wish existed. The waitlist is where the API's shape gets decided, and your use case feeds directly into it.
The shape of the API
A REST API, keyed per project, JSON in and out.
GET /v1/learners/{id}/progress { "learner_id": "lrn_8f2c", "age_mode": "10-12", "worlds_completed": 2, "current": { "world": 3, "level": 4 }, "skills": ["spot-a-hallucination", "write-a-good-prompt"]}POST /v1/webhooks{ "url": "https://yourapp.com/hooks", "events": [ "level.completed", "safety.flag_raised", "summary.created" ]}// preview, endpoint shapes will firm up alongside our first developers
What we guarantee, whatever you build
Anything built on MyDD inherits how we treat kids. These aren't settings you configure, they're promises the platform keeps for you.
-
Age-calibrated by default
Responses adjust to the learner's age band, and the API won't let you turn that off.
-
COPPA-aware from the start
Access to a child's data stays tied to verified parental consent, designed around that boundary, not bolted onto it.
-
Parent visibility carries through
Conversations that happen through your product stay visible to the parent, the same as they are in MyDD Chat today.
Two ways to ship AI for kids
Get on the API waitlist
The API isn't live yet, we're building it with our first developers, and the people on this list get the spec, early keys, and a say in what ships. Leave your email and we'll bring you in as it takes shape.
Questions
- When can I start building?
- Early access opens to waitlist members first. Add your email and you'll hear the moment keys are available.
- What will it cost?
- Early access is free, and waitlist members help shape pricing before it's set.
- Who is it for?
- Educators, EdTech builders, and anyone building tools for kids, families, or classrooms who wants MyDD's safe-AI foundation under the hood.
- Can I shape what it does?
- That's the point of asking early. Tell us your use case when you sign up and it feeds directly into what we build.
