Developer Saar Benodiz has created a unique way to tap AI with some kid-friendly guardrails with the app Askie. He got the idea after his child asked ChatGPT about snakes. The response included graphic descriptions of venomous species and anxiety-inducing warnings about deadly bites.

Askie uses AskAI’s ChatGPT-5, but is designed for kids 5-13. To begin, a parent can create an account for child, most importantly using the child’s age to help better tailor content.

The app has a ton of different ways for kids to enjoy it. In the Learn section, they can learn a new language, get help with homework, and more. Play is all about fun and games with a funny joke factory and more. Kids can also make art and even chat with AI characters like Spider-Man and Einstein.

AI art creation is made with safe, kid-friendly protections.

Parents can breathe easy and let kids have fun wth the app. It’s completely COPPA compliant and has no ads. Full conversations can be reviewed by parents at any time

Askie is a free download now on the App Store. It’s designed for the iPhone and all iPad models.

You’ll need a subscription to use the app. That’s available for $4.99 weekly or $29.99 annually. The weekly option does have a free, three-day trial to try out the full capabilities of the AI assistant.
