Homework help and a space to talk: for parents

The Homework help and a space to talk page is an AI, not a person. It can make mistakes. It guides the child step by step and does not do the homework for them.

  • No account, nothing is asked: no name, school, address or photo. An email, phone number or address typed by the child is removed before sending.
  • Nothing is kept: the conversation stays in the page’s memory and is erased when the page is closed. Message content is neither stored nor logged on our servers.
  • To answer, the text is processed by Cloudflare Workers AI (Google’s Gemma 4 model, hosted by Cloudflare; Meta’s Llama 3.1 as a backup). Cloudflare states it does not keep these texts after the answer and does not use them to train models.
  • Only two counters with no text are kept: messages per connection today (IP address irreversibly transformed, deleted after 25 h) and the daily total. They keep the service free.
  • “By voice” mode uses the browser’s dictation and voice. Depending on the browser, voice may go through its online service (for example Google for Chrome).
  • When a child confides: the AI listens, reassures, never judges and tells the child it is not their fault. The main path is a trusted adult the child chooses (a parent, a relative, a teacher, the school nurse, a doctor). The AI helps the child pick that person and prepare what to say (a few short sentences), when and how. If that adult does not listen, it suggests trying another one.
  • Why no helplines or associations: we chose not to direct children to services or associations they do not know. An adult they know and have chosen stays the first support. The AI never pushes the child to call anyone, never names an organisation, never promises what will happen and never asks for details that could identify the child.
  • Immediate danger: only when there is a danger to life or safety (violence happening now, wanting to self-harm, a threat), or when the child taps 🆘, the page simply says to call the country’s emergency number (police, ambulance) and to talk to a trusted adult. No number is shown. The AI never writes a number itself. It cannot alert anyone: everything is anonymous and nothing is kept. It gives no medical advice.
  • It does not replace an adult or a professional. For a child under 15, we suggest staying with them the first time.
