These aren't four separate apps. They're four angles on the same moment — reaching a young person directly, through a game, through the person he's with, and through his family — so that confusion gets caught before it becomes harm.
Hover or tap a person to see how their app prevents harm.

A note on who we center. Our illustrative example is a boy who might cause harm, because the data is unambiguous: among people under 18, boys account for the overwhelming majority of harmful sexual behavior — in FY2024, nearly 8 in 10 children and youth who exhibited problematic sexual behavior were boys. (U.S. Dept. of Defense, Report on Serious Harmful Behavior Between Children and Youth, FY2024, published October 2025). Centering boys is a public-health choice, not an accusation — it means putting prevention where the risk is most concentrated. And we build knowing that harm can happen to anyone, caused by anyone, across every gender identity and orientation. Our tools are open to all of them.
Most sexual violence involving young people happens between people who know each other, in situations that felt confusing while they were happening. Prevention has mostly reached young people through lectures and shame, and they tune it out. Meanwhile they are already asking AI about sex, dating, and relationships. Those answers should be good ones.
The same engine, wherever young people already are.
We offer our safety engine to schools, coalitions, and AI products so good answers show up in more places.
