Yoggi is the AI assistant built for children aged 3–15. Age-adapted answers, live voice chat, image generation, strict content filtering, and parental controls. Free on iOS and Android.
Congrats on the launch! Age-adapting the AI's tone from a 3-year-old to a 15-year-old is a genuinely hard problem, most tools I've seen just pick one register and hope it works for everyone.
I'm curious how long a child's conversation transcripts get kept around for the weekly summaries and safety alerts, and who besides the parent can pull up that history once it's stored. That retention detail is the part I'd want spelled out for something built around kids.
@vollos Thank you, and I completely agree that retention should be clearly explained for a product built for children.
At the moment, conversation history is kept for three months. This allows parents to review previous conversations and gives Yoggi enough context to generate daily and weekly recaps. Through the product itself, that history is only available in the PIN-protected parent area; no other user can access it.
I’m also considering giving parents a very simple retention setting. They could keep the current three-month history, choose a shorter period, or opt out of long-term storage entirely. In that last case, conversations would be deleted after the current day, with the clear trade-off that there would be no history or weekly recap available.
I think parents should be able to choose the balance between visibility and data minimisation that feels right for their family, rather than having that decision imposed on them.
hmmmm i am struggling to see the use case of this for kids. Unless its meant to teach kids how to use AI tech so it prepares them for the future.
@saderod That’s a fair question. Preparing children to use AI responsibly is definitely part of the idea, but it’s not the only use case.
Yoggi is designed as a safer, age-appropriate tool for everyday curiosity: asking questions, getting help understanding something, creating stories or images, practising a language, or simply exploring a topic they are interested in. For younger children, it can also be used entirely through voice.
The main difference is that it adapts its language and guidance to the child’s age, encourages them to think rather than simply giving answers, and keeps parents informed through recaps and safety alerts.
My goal is not to convince every child to use AI, but to offer a more suitable first experience for families who know their children will eventually encounter it anyway.
I’d also be genuinely interested to hear more about your perspective on AI and children. A different point of view could highlight a concern I haven’t considered yet, or even inspire a new feature or a better way for Yoggi to respond and behave.
I like your UI design. I think my children will love it; adding a bit more animation would make it even better.
@maxwell_trent Thanks so much, really appreciate it!
Our first phase was almost entirely focused on getting the core experience right and making sure the AI itself was safe and trustworthy for kids, animation and polish took a back seat to that.
Now that the foundation feels solid, we're shifting more energy toward a more polished, dynamic UI, and we've already started adding reward and collection mechanics, built around app features and activities rather than the relationship with the AI itself, to keep things engaging for kids the right way. Definitely more of that coming.
If you do try it out with your kids, we'd genuinely love to hear how it goes, we're very open to feedback at this stage.
Big brother here, and I think this is a genuinely important idea. ChatGPT and Claude can sometimes be too eager to give children the answer they want to hear, and without the right context or boundaries, that can have a negative effect instead of helping them.
My 11-year-old sister has just started using AI tools, and I was recently given the task of figuring out how we could limit and supervise that safely. Right now, it can be almost impossible to understand what a child is doing, asking, or being told. Knowledge is a privilege, but access without age-appropriate guidance is not always harmless. I'm really glad I found Yoggi, we'll definitely try it. Rooting for you! :)
@andrasczeizel Thank you so much, your comment genuinely means a lot to me.
I’ve put a great deal of care into Yoggi because I truly believe children need a safer, age-appropriate way to discover AI, with clear boundaries and parents or trusted adults still involved.
I really hope Yoggi can be useful for you and your little sister. I’d also be very grateful for any honest feedback or suggestions after you’ve tried it, hearing from families helps me understand what still needs to be improved.
Thank you again for your support and for giving Yoggi a chance!
