The Sidekick home screen: a 3D unicorn character on a hill, a big blue microphone button, and a greeting that reads: Hi there! I'm Sidekick! Tap the mic to talk to me!
Tap the mic and talk. No typing needed.

Your child is the superhero. Sidekick is there to help.

We're building a named, friendly companion that listens when your child talks and answers at their level. It's voice-first, so kids can simply speak. It's honest about being a computer, not a person. And when something a child says sounds worrying, it points them to a trusted grown-up and lets you know.

What kids do with Sidekick

Ask anything a curious kid would ask

Why is the sky blue? Kids tap the microphone and talk, or type if they'd rather. Sidekick answers in short, simple sentences, reads its reply aloud, and often asks a question back to keep the conversation going.

Quick-tap a joke, a story, a fun fact or a surprise for something sillier.

A chat in the app. The child asks: Why is the sky blue? Sidekick explains that sunlight is made of all the rainbow colors, and blue light scatters the most across the sky, then asks what the child's favorite color is. Quick buttons above the input read A joke, A story, Fun fact and Surprise.

Their sidekick, their way

Kids pick a dog, unicorn, penguin, dragon, capybara or lion, give it any name they like, and choose how it sounds.

With a parent's consent, a child can record a short sample so Sidekick speaks in a voice that sounds like them.

Bedtime mode, for winding down

Your child picks a topic, like space, dinosaurs or the ocean, or types their own idea. Sidekick makes up a story for them and reads it in a slower, calmer voice.

  • Stories up to 10 minutes long
  • A gentle lesson woven in: kindness, sharing, courage, friendship, honesty, healthy eating, screen time, sleep, patience or gratitude
  • Dials for how funny and how scary, including no scary bits at all

Built for parents, too

A grown-up creates the account, sets up each child's profile and gives consent before a child uses it. Here's what the app does to keep things safe.

The welcome screen reading: A safe AI buddy for your child. Sidekick chats, plays and tells stories with kids aged 6 to 10.

Honest about being AI

Sidekick says it's a computer, not a real person, on the welcome screen, at the top of the home screen and in its own greeting.

Checked before and after every reply

Messages go through safety filters and moderation. Sidekick keeps to topics that suit young children and steers away from anything scary or grown-up.

Personal details stay out

Messages containing a phone number or email address are blocked, and links, phone numbers and email addresses are removed from replies.

Worrying moments reach you

If a child mentions self-harm or abuse, Sidekick replies with a fixed, reviewed message telling them to talk to a trusted grown-up, and a critical alert appears on your dashboard.

A parent dashboard

See each child's minutes and messages for the day, recent safety alerts, and any replies your child flagged.

One tap to flag a reply

Every Sidekick reply has a small flag, so a child can report anything that felt mean, scary or wrong.

Break reminders

After 15 minutes of chatting, Sidekick suggests taking a break.

Grown-up settings stay locked

Account, dashboard and language settings sit behind a quick grown-up check.

No ads, nothing to buy

No advertising, no in-app purchases, and the Android advertising ID is blocked.

No chatting with strangers

Kids talk only to Sidekick. There are no social features and no way to message other users.

Delete everything, any time

Delete a child profile, or the whole account with every conversation, story, alert and cloned voice, straight from Settings.

Usage data without the words

The usage stats we keep to improve the app record things like which feature was used and for how long, never what your child said.

Questions parents ask

When can we download it?

AI Sidekick isn't in any app store yet. It's coming to Google Play first, with the App Store to follow. Email us if you'd like early access.

What ages is it for?

Children aged 6 to 10. The language, games and stories are pitched at that age.

Will my child think Sidekick is a real person?

Sidekick tells them it isn't. It introduces itself as a computer friend, and the home screen always shows "Sidekick is an AI, not a real person".

Where do my child's messages go?

To make replies and voices, messages and voice are sent to our AI providers: OpenAI, Google (through OpenRouter) and ElevenLabs. These providers may keep data briefly for abuse monitoring. Conversations are kept with your child's profile while it exists, and you can delete them at any time. The privacy policy has the full detail.

How do I delete our data?

In the app, go to Settings, then Grown-ups, then Delete account. That removes your account, every child profile, all conversations, stories, alerts and any cloned voices. You can also follow the steps on the account deletion page.

Are there ads or purchases?

No. The app shows no ads and has nothing to buy inside it.
