Is an AI toy safe for my child?

Safety is the whole point of this product. It uses curated, age-appropriate answers with strict guardrails, refuses unsafe topics, gently escalates any sign of distress to you, and gives you full parent controls and data privacy under India's DPDP norms.

Does it replace talking to my child?

No — it's a supplement, with time limits and quiet hours, designed to encourage speaking and curiosity, not to replace human connection.

Yes, completely — no screen. It's built to help with the #1 parent worry: too much screen time.
