Ask anything

Learn about AI at home, with you in control, before the world hands it to them

AI optional, AI apps clearly labeled. If you turn it on, hold the button, ask anything and hear Peko answer out loud. You set the rules it follows and the topics it teaches, and you can look back over their conversations to stay in the loop.

Ask anything

What your child can do

  • Look back over their conversations any time

What a kid-safe AI looks like

  • Optional, and always labeled

    A Peko Pal works for stories, podcasts, radio, friends and more with the AI left off, and every AI app is labeled so you know which ones use it.

  • No always-on microphone

    There is no wake word. Nothing is listening until your child holds the button, and a steady green light shows whenever the microphone is capturing.

  • A tutor that teaches, not tells

    In Lessons, Peko asks your child to explain their thinking, narrows the question when they're stuck, and fixes the rule behind a wrong answer rather than just the answer.

  • Stories that answer back

    In interactive books, your child holds the button mid-story and asks a question. Peko knows the story so far and answers without giving away the ending.

You set the rules

  • Your instructions

    Write the instructions that steer the AI in the Peko Pal app, and choose topics for it to avoid. If your child raises one, Peko changes the subject gently.

  • Only friends you approve

    Peko only contacts friends you've approved. When it looks something up online, it uses a kid-safe filter and reads back a short answer, never a web page.

  • See what happened

    Read your child's conversations as written transcripts in the app. Transcripts keep only the words, never the audio, and are deleted after 90 days.

  • Lessons, your topic

    Give a lesson a topic and a goal in your own words, and see your child's progress, skills and every question they were asked.

All of this is set up in the Peko Pal app on your iPhone. How Peko Pal handles safety and privacy

Questions parents ask

Is AI safe for kids?
It depends on how the AI is built and who sets the rules. Peko Pal's AI is optional, has no always-on microphone, follows rules you write, only contacts friends you've approved, and shows you written transcripts of what was said. There are no ads.
Where does my child's voice go?
While your child holds the button, their voice is streamed live over the internet to a cloud AI service so it can answer. It is not processed only on the device, and it does not work offline.
Can I turn the AI off?
Yes. The AI is optional and off until you turn it on, and a Peko Pal works for stories, podcasts, radio and friends without it.
Can my child learn from an AI tutor without a screen?
Yes. Lessons works entirely out loud: you give it a topic and a goal, Peko finds your child's level by asking, and you see their progress in the Peko Pal app. Lessons needs Wi-Fi while it runs.
What do I need to set it up?
An iPhone for the Peko Pal app and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Android isn't supported yet.
When can I get one?
Peko Pal is coming soon. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when it ships.
