HOW BUDAI WORKS

Everything your kid needs to explore. Everything you need to stay in the loop.

A chat experience built for kids

Your child can ask BudAI anything — how to create a study plan for a test next week, how rocket engines work, how to write a Python script, how to plan a business. BudAI responds in language that meets your child where they are, without talking down to them.

Parental controls that actually make sense

Set quiet hours, maturity rating, and custom system prompts that tells BudAI who your child is and what they're working on. You're always in the loop — not as a gatekeeper, but as a thoughtful adult in the room.

A window into your child's mind

The parent dashboard shows you what your child has been exploring, flags anything worth a conversation, and builds a picture of their interests and growth over time.

FOUNDING FAMILIES PROGRAM

Early access + the chance to shape the future of AI for kids.

Jingyun Fan

Hi, I'm Jingyun, Founder of BudAI. I started BudAI because I believe the way kids get introduced to AI matters enormously — and I want to get it right. I'm building with a small group of families who feel the same way.

  • 🆓 Free platform access — including $100 in tokens, enough for thousands of conversations.
  • 🚀 First access to everything new — every feature we ship, you get before anyone else.
  • 🛠 Direct influence on the roadmap — your feedback goes straight to product decisions.
  • 📅 Invitations to private events on learning effectively with AI.
  • 📖 AI yearbook — a beautifully printed record of your child's explorations, questions, creative projects, and growth over the year. Something worth keeping.

WHO THIS IS FOR

We're looking for a specific kind of family.

The Charter Families program is a small, closed cohort — chosen because we think they'll get the most out of BudAI and give us the most honest feedback in return.

👧🏽

Your child is 8–13

This is a key developmental window and just before most kids discover AI tools on their own. We think it's the right moment to introduce AI with intention.

🤖

You know AI is the future

You are a thoughtful and enthusiastic user of AI. You use ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools — and you've thought carefully about what it means to hand that to your kid.

🔭

You balance curiosity with appropriate caution

You want your child to develop real skills alongside AI — not just avoid it. You're looking for a thoughtful on-ramp, not a gatekeeper.

💬

You're willing to share feedback

In exchange for free early access, we ask that your family use BudAI a few times a week and share honest feedback with our team.

Ready to be a Charter Family?

It starts with a quick call between you and me — Jingyun, Founder at BudAI. We'll talk about your family, walk you through what BudAI looks like in practice, and figure out together whether this is the right fit for you.
