Mack has got your back
Mack is brand-new. An AI safety guard we built and trained ourselves: not borrowed from another company, not a service you sign up for, not something running in the cloud. Mack lives on your child's phone and reads every message your child sends to and receives from other children, right there on the device. Bullying, scams, sexual solicitation, hate speech, and signs of crisis: all caught on the phone, in both directions. The words never leave your child's phone in a form anyone but you can read, ever.
