For parents
Your child learns how AI works by making it. Here is what they do, what you can see, and where you stay in charge.
Kids Should Learn About AI, Not Just Chat With It.
At Dilly, we believe children should learn how to communicate with AI effectively, safely, and responsibly, without being exposed to unrestricted AI chatbots.
That's why Dilly uses carefully designed, age-appropriate lessons that teach children how to interact with AI without actually chatting with it. Through fun, interactive activities, kids learn how to ask better questions, give clear instructions, evaluate AI responses, and recognize when AI gets things wrong.
Our mission is simple: Teach children how to use AI, not just rely on it.
The child is the teacher.
A new companion starts out able to do nothing yet. Everything it can do is something your child taught it.
-
Pick a companion
Six friends to choose from. Each one is a learner, not a know-it-all. It waits for your child to show it how.
-
Train it by teaching it
As your child trains it, they make the choices that shape how the companion acts. Everything it learns becomes a new puzzle piece and a new ability.
-
Build with what it learned
In the Workshop, pieces fit together to make something. The companion can only use the pieces your child earned.
-
Learn how AI works by making it
Your child sees why an AI gives a bad answer, then fixes it. They learn to question it, test it and guide it.
What your child practices.
A few of the 75 skills a child can teach a companion today.
- Invent solutions
- Find patterns
- Facts or guesses
- Spot what doesn't add up
- Ask good questions
- Know when to ask a person
There is no AI in Dilly. Everything your child sees was written in advance, and nothing your child types is sent to an AI service.
The grown-up area.
Plans, the plan manager and the learning report sit behind a check on the phone. It keeps a child who picked up the phone out of those screens.
- Face ID
- Touch ID
- The phone's passcode
- A number puzzle
It is a check on the phone, not a lock on the account. Changing a child's profile, saying yes to consent and deleting a profile still need the account password typed again.
Plans are for one child each. Your child never sees a price, and the only way to ask for more is a button that says Ask a grown-up.
The learning report.
The report shows what your child did in the app, such as what they finished and made and what the companion has learned. It is for grown-ups, and your child never sees it.
Free accounts see progress for the skills their child can open. Core shows every skill and everything the companion learned.
You can also switch on a weekly summary email. It goes to a verified email address once a week, after your child has been active.
Progress shows what a child did in the app's prepared practice. It is not a test score and not a measure of what they know.
What you can see.
What your child finished and made, in the learning report.- What the companion has learned.
- Your child's streak.
- The plan and how the battery works.
What stays your child's.
Nothing is posted anywhere. In the app, only your child and grown-ups with access to their profile can see what they made.
Coins, streaks, saved work and the Room are never taken away.
