Start freeSafe by design. Specific, not vague.
Built for children, with parents in charge. Here is exactly what we do.
No ads. No selling data. Ever.
Your family isn’t the product. We’re a not-for-profit, and we’ll never be funded by advertisers.
How we do this: No ads. No selling data. Ever.
There are no adverts anywhere in the app or on this site, and we never sell or rent personal data.
Personal details filtered out
What your child says is filtered for names and contact details before it reaches an AI model.
How we do this: Personal details filtered out
Before your child’s words are sent to an AI model, an automatic filter removes names, contact details and other identifying information. Child profiles are kept on our own servers.
Parents are in control
You create each profile, see their progress, and can export your family’s data or delete a child’s profile at any time.
How we do this: Parents are in control
Children sign in with a PIN on a profile you created. You can see what they have practised, download a report, export your family’s data from your privacy settings, and delete a child’s profile.
Hints, not answers
Ali stays on learning, is gentle with mistakes, and helps children think for themselves.
How we do this: Hints, not answers
Ali is instructed to stay on learning topics, to respond kindly when an answer is wrong, and — for set homework — to give hints only, never the finished answer.
Built for UK children
Designed around UK GDPR and the ICO Children’s Code.
How we do this: Built for UK children
We follow the ICO Age Appropriate Design Code: high-privacy defaults, no nudges to share data, and no profiling for marketing.

Ali can make mistakes, so it encourages children to check with a grown-up.

Get in touchIs it really aligned to the UK curriculum?
Yes. Lessons, quizzes and stories are built on the National Curriculum for England, Years 1–6, across maths, English, science, history and geography — pitched at the year group you set for each child.
What ages is it for?
Children aged 5–11 (Years 1–6). You add each child with their year group, and Ali adjusts to how they are doing.
How much screen time is this?
Short on purpose. The daily “Today” routine takes about 10–15 minutes: a little reading, a quick quiz and a game.
Will Ali just give my child the answers?
No. Ali explains, asks questions and gives hints so your child does the thinking. For set homework, Ali gives hints only.
Is my child’s data safe?
We never show ads or sell data. What your child says is filtered for names and contact details before it reaches an AI model, and you can export your family’s data or delete a child’s profile at any time. Full details are on our Safety page.
Does it work on iPad, Android and Chromebook?
Yes. AI Home Tutor runs in the web browser on phones, tablets and laptops, and you can install it to the home screen like an app.
Can I add more than one child?
Yes. Add each of your children to one family account, each with their own PIN, progress and plan.
Does it cost anything?
Not during early access — every family uses AI Home Tutor free, with no card needed. We’ll confirm prices before any paid plans launch.
What if Ali gets something wrong?
Like any AI, Ali can make mistakes. It encourages children to check with a grown-up, and you can tell us about any answer that looks wrong.
