Your kids should grow up using AI. At any age! But this kind of AI needs to look out for them and act according to your values and rules. If anything looks off, it should inform you. Meet Pip:

[Pip: Safe AI Chat for Kids @ChatWithPip]

Meet Pip 👋

Pip is a friendly AI chat companion made for children, with parents in control.

Kids can ask questions, explore their interests, understand new topics, and follow their curiosity through conversation.

Parents set the rules, review conversations, and shape the experience for their family.

Pip gives children room to explore AI while helping parents stay informed and involved.

Available now on iOS and Android.

Never thought this would happen, but Grok Bot finally stopped me working on main, only for small personal projects.

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

Cursor Project and Grok Bot are both really strong releases.

Being able to naturally interact with one agent across the whole project without worrying about thread abstractions, context sharing, and so on removes a lot of friction. And Grok Bot is just the perfect sidekick!

The xAI/Cursor acquisition is already paying off 😍

@MaxHirsch13 It’s funny that you can just say whatever you want even if it’s completely wrong and get tons of engagement 💀

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

The first customer is always the hardest one 😉

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

@ChatWithPip has its first customer 🥰 If you have children and want to give them access to AI but want to stay in the loop check out https://t.co/HvGB3ToZjz

The React Native vs Native discussion is an IQ test.

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

@MicroLaunchHQ Your child’s first AI chat that always keeps an eye on them and informs you if anything needs your attention: https://t.co/HvGB3ToZjz

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

This one was harder than it looks.

I wanted the whole product to work without an account. Not a fake demo. Your child’s rules, a real conversation, safety still on, pairing a second device, the child actually chatting. Then a sign-in later that doesn’t throw any of that away.

Getting guest families, multi-device, and a later account to hold together took a while. 1.3.0 is the version I wanted to ship.

[Pip: Safe AI Chat for Kids @ChatWithPip]

Pip 1.3.0 is out.

You can try Pip before creating an account.

Add your child, keep the age-based rules or change them, then ask something together. You see how Pip actually answers under your rules, not a generic demo.

If it feels right, pick a plan and a device. If not, you haven’t signed up for anything.

@palmidev Wow very nice 👍🏻

@skpnky AI for children with built in parental controls and adjustable rules and safeguards: https://t.co/HvGB3ToZjz

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

@trashh_dev Nothing beats some precise German prompts 😂

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

I went way too deep on this one 😅

We compared 8 AI apps for kids across age limits, parental controls, privacy, chat visibility, safety, price and what they’re actually good at.

44 minutes of reading so you hopefully don’t need 44 browser tabs.

If your kid uses AI, this is the comparison I’d want as a parent.

[Pip: Safe AI Chat for Kids @ChatWithPip]

Which AI app is actually right for your child?

We compared the best AI apps for kids in 2026 across the things that matter to families:

• Age requirements
• Parental controls
• Chat visibility
• Safety & privacy
• Homework and creativity
• Pricing
• Free options
From Pip and Khanmigo to ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Askie, HeyOtto and Perplexity.
There isn’t one winner for every child, so we broke down who each app is actually best for.

Yeah go and unplug it

[Alan @A1an_M]

AI runs on electricity.
We can unplug it.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

@ProductHunt Just another AI chatbot 😂 But built explicitly for children and their first steps with AI with tons of parental control features: https://t.co/HvGB3ToZjz

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

@JustinasRoland0 I build apps primarily for my own use. If someone else needs them, I'm happy to help 😉

[Felix Kerlin @FelixKerlin]

I built the AI chat I’d actually let my own kid use.

This is what Pip looks like in practice 👇

[Pip: Safe AI Chat for Kids @ChatWithPip]

Kids get an AI companion built for them.

Parents keep the controls.

That’s Pip.

Safe, age-aware AI chat for kids, with parental rules, quiet hours, chat visibility, and built-in safety checks.

Here’s a quick look at how it works 👇

[Pip: Safe AI Chat for Kids @ChatWithPip]

Can AI help with this homework, or is it doing too much?

We just launched a free Homework AI Checker for parents and kids.

Answer 5 quick questions and get:
• A verdict on whether AI makes sense for the assignment
• A safer tutoring prompt to use
• A disclosure line when AI use should be mentioned

The goal is simple: use AI to support learning, not replace it.
Free, no account, nothing stored 👇
