AI Transparency

Coolbot

Robots should explain themselves. Here goes.

Our promise

Coolbot is made for kids, backed by humans, and enhanced by AI. Here is exactly what that means.

Where we use AI

  • Making comics: we use AI as a creative tool for drafting art and ideas in Coolbot’s classic ink style. Every page is directed, edited, and approved by humans — parents, artists, and educators — before it reaches you.
  • Coolbot’s story finder: replies are generated by an AI model playing Coolbot, and its job is deliberately narrow — you describe a situation, it gives one small practical suggestion and points to the Coolbot comic about it. It is not a companion or a confidant: it asks no personal questions, does not remember anyone between messages, will not hold an ongoing conversation, and hands anything heavy straight to a trusted adult instead of counselling.

Where we don't

  • No AI decides what kids should feel or believe. The values in Coolbot’s stories are ours, on paper, reviewed by people.
  • No chat messages are used to build profiles of children.
  • No ads, no engagement tricks, no infinite feeds. Coolbot would rather you go outside.
