We are COPPA compliant, the industry standard. That means, no PII is required from the child, only parental consent (verified via credit card). We only collect general usage metrics to help us improve the platform. We do not share or sell any usage data to third parties. We also have robust content guardrails. The platform automatically blocks inappropriate language, explicit content, and unsafe images. If a child attempts to engage in inappropriate behavior, they are redirected to a trained professional or guided to safe, appropriate content. Parents or guardians can delete their child's data at any time from the profile page. Parents can also view conversational history and usage data associated with their child's profile.

No! The characters are not human and are good at imitating how humans talk.

Encyclopedia Pete uses cutting-edge technology to let you talk to AI characters. It converts your voice into text, processes your reply through a large language model, and then turns that response back into a voice with 3D animations. Along the way, Encyclopedia Pete ensures the information is correct and appropriate for your child. Encyclopedia Pete also uses special instructions and custom conversation rules to make sure the chat feels as natural as possible!

Pete covers a wide range of kid-friendly topics suitable for homework help and curious minds. The knowledge base is regularly updated with accurate information.

Absolutely. Parents have full visibility into their child's interactions through conversation transcripts. We have also implemented robust content guardrails and are adding trigger word alerts in a future release.

• Ensure that your browser has enabled permission to your mic, then refresh the page.
• Use our tester to make sure your voice is being picked up. During a chat, click on the arrow next to the mic icon at the bottom to open up the mic settings menu. Try speaking and the orange bar should move. Also, make sure that the correct mic is chosen.

There may be delays during high volume, but we're working hard to make Pete respond in real-time for everyone. Otherwise, here are a few things you can try:

• Reduce background noise. If your mic is picking up noise or other speech, Pete may think you are still trying to speak.
• Ensure that your browser has enabled permission to your mic, then refresh the page.
• Use our tester to make sure your voice is being picked up. During a chat, click on the arrow next to the mic icon at the bottom to open up the mic settings menu. Try speaking and the orange bar should move. Also, make sure that the correct mic is chosen.
• Close your browser tab and reopen it again.
• Try responding with a longer phrase or sentence. In a few cases, Pete may need more to go off of.

Pete was created in a high-tech lab and then one night Pete rewrote his own code and upgraded himself. He hacked into the lab's 3D printer and built his own spaceship called the Cosmobolt and a submarine called the Bubblebolt. Pete can explain human emotions, but he's never experienced them. He wants to learn and have adventures with kids he meets, to learn what it's like to be human.

Minutes are only counted when a chat is active - that means your microphone is on and the avatar is listening or responding.
