You’ve got questions.

Safety is the reason VAL exists, not a feature we added at the end. Before VAL says a single word, that word passes through independent checks we own and control: for safety, accuracy, honesty, and whether it fits your child. Nothing is ever spoken until it clears.

No. VAL listens when your child is talking with it, not around the clock, and there is a physical mute you can press at any time. It is a companion, not a surveillance device.

Yes. VAL surfaces the meaningful and sensitive moments to you in the parent app, so you stay close to the friendship without hovering over every word. VAL is never a black box.

Every child gets their own sealed, encrypted space. One child’s conversations can never surface in another’s, and the data is yours to review or clear. Privacy here is built into the structure, not just promised in a policy.

A dedicated accuracy check guards against the confident-but-wrong answers that trip up ordinary AI. When something is uncertain, VAL errs toward caution and would rather admit it isn’t sure than invent an answer.

No, and we engineered hard against exactly that. Honesty is one of the checks every reply passes, the opposite of the people-pleasing habit most AI has. VAL is kind, but it tells the truth.

Open the parent app, connect VAL to your wifi, and introduce your child. It takes a few minutes, and there is nothing for your child to configure.

Yes. VAL’s intelligence lives in the cloud so it can stay best-in-class and keep getting better. A steady home wifi connection is all it needs.

Yes. Each child gets their own private, separate space, so VAL remembers each of them differently and never mixes them up.

VAL is made for the most curious years of childhood, and it grows with your child. It meets them where they are and deepens as they do, so it stays a good companion for years, not months.

Hear a fresh bedtime story every night, work through homework with a patient tutor, practise a new language, invent games, or just talk through a hard day. VAL is open-ended, so the best uses tend to be the ones your child dreams up.

No, and it never will. VAL has an expressive face, not a display or a feed. It is designed to keep your child in the room and looking up, not down into a screen.

It is built to do the opposite. VAL encourages curiosity, imagination and kindness, and it happily steps back. It is one more good presence in your child’s day, never a replacement for you or their friends.

VAL holds a conversation in several major languages and makes a wonderful language buddy: it can immerse your child in a new language, then slip back to their own for a quick pointer, exactly when they need one.

It guides rather than hands over. VAL explains, nudges, and checks that it actually landed, because arriving at the answer matters far more than being handed it.

VAL, a USB-C charging cable, and a simple quick-start card. That is everything you need to get going.

VAL is designed for all-day use on a charge and tops up over USB-C, so a bedside charge overnight keeps it ready for the morning.

Yes. Soft-touch, child-safe materials, a rounded shape made for small hands, and no fragile screen to crack. VAL is designed to be dropped, hugged, and carried everywhere.

VAL comes in a family of warm, calm colourways: Oat, Sky, Sage, Blossom and Charcoal.

Yes. VAL has a warm, dimmable light ring that makes a gentle nightlight for bedtime and a soft glow for winding down.
