About Kaze

Kaze is a safe AI tutor for children aged 6 to 16. It helps with homework the way a good tutor does, adapts to how each child learns, and keeps parents in the loop without turning them into spies.

Where Kaze comes from

Kaze started at home. A parent, a child who could out-reason the grown-ups but struggled with long text, and AI tools that were either too simple for the reasoning or not safe enough for a child. Nothing on the market treated a child as someone who might need harder questions and shorter sentences at the same time. So we built it.

What we believe

A child is not a smaller adult, and not a generic child either. Help should teach, not do the work. Safety is a check on every message, not a promise on a landing page. Parents deserve to know what's going on, and children deserve to know when they're being read. And a product for children must not be paid for with their attention or their data.

What Kaze is, and isn't

Kaze is a tutor: it explains, asks, encourages and corrects, in the words your child can read. It is not a general assistant, so it kindly declines to write the essay, and not a social app, so there is no feed, no followers and no notifications. It is not a substitute for a teacher, a therapist or a parent, and it says so when a conversation needs one.

How we keep it safe

Every message your child sends, and every reply they receive, is checked before it's shown: for personal details, for sensitive topics, and by a content moderation service. Doubtful content is held for you to decide on, not shown and apologised for later. If the safety service is unavailable, chat pauses rather than running unprotected. Children never have accounts or passwords; a parent links each device with a code and can disconnect it at any time.

How parents stay involved

You see a summary of each conversation and a weekly recap. When you open the full messages, your child sees a note that a grown-up read them. Your child can send you a single message with one tap when they're stuck, and you answer inside their chat. Co-parents, tutors and teachers join through groups with roles, so the adults around a child can share the picture without sharing a login.

Where we are today

Kaze is in early access. Families sign up in English or Spanish, and their feedback shapes what we build next. There will be paid plans later, and there will always be a free tier. Whatever the plan, Kaze will never show ads to children or sell your family's data.

The name

Kaze (風) means "wind" in Japanese. Learning should feel like a breeze, not a storm: gentle, adaptive, and always moving forward.
