We don't just invent worlds—we're building the studio engine to create them reliably

An AI-first media studio building safe, adaptive story worlds for children and families. Year 1: prototyping the story + learning foundation with trust-and-safety at the core.

We build safe, adaptive story worlds for children and families—and the studio engine to create them reliably.
Family-safe tone
Dual safety checks + human review
Privacy-first by design

What's happening right now

Year 1 is about building the foundation—story worlds, safety systems, and the studio engine that makes it all dependable

World-building in progress

Four story universes taking shape—Tuckaway Harbor leads the way with cozy adventures and co-op play. Each world celebrates curiosity and cognitive strengths.

Strength-first learning design

We are building experiences that elevate big-picture synthesis, narrative imagination, dynamic reasoning, and spatial thinking—not remediation, but celebration.

Prototypes and demos

Small proofs stacking into bigger systems: story engines, safety checks, learning loops, and parent insights. Each demo shows our direction and commitment to quality.

Right now, we're in prototype year—shipping real stories, building trust systems, and proving the studio engine works.

Safety & Privacy at a Glance

We know families have concerns about AI-generated content for children. Here's exactly how we're building trustworthy experiences from day one.

Guardrails make the magic possible

Session-only analytics, no PII

We use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand site usage—no personal information collected

No child data collected yet

Privacy-first by design—we're building trust before we build accounts

Dual safety checks

AI validation + human review on all kid-facing content

Family-safe tone with human oversight

Comfort-first approach—no accidental scares or weird tangents

AI as collaborator, not content hose

Thoughtful AI-assisted creation with clear guardrails and purpose

Warm, dependable worlds families can trust

Cognitive celebration over content volume—quality over quantity

Our Philosophy: AI as Collaborator, Not Content Hose

We're not using AI to pump out endless content. Instead, we're building an AI-assisted studio engine that helps us create fewer, better experiences with consistent character voices, safety guardrails, and learning objectives. Every story is crafted with intention, reviewed by humans, and designed to celebrate children's cognitive strengths.

Mind Strength Constellation

We celebrate four cognitive superpowers—not remediation, but activation of brilliance

Big-Picture Synthesis

Connecting clues and seeing "how it all fits"—the joy of discovering patterns and relationships

Narrative Imagination

Storytelling, empathy, and world-building—the power to imagine and create meaningful narratives

Dynamic Reasoning

Understanding cause and effect over time—comfort with change and thinking through "what happens next"

Material/Spatial Reasoning

Tinkering instincts, mental rotation, and building—the ability to understand how things fit together in space

Wonder, made dependable

We're building the studio engine to create safe, adaptive story worlds reliably—not just inventing worlds, but the systems to make them real

Four Engines

Our studio is organized around four engines—Creative, Audience, Technology, and Business—designed to work together without compromising safety, quality, or trust.

Creative Engine

Stories, characters, visuals, and production craft—the heart of our worlds

Audience Engine

Parent/educator fit, learning design, accessibility, and feedback loops

Technology Engine

AI-first tooling, scalable infrastructure, and safety systems

Business Engine

Partnerships, distribution, and operations—kept lean in Year 1

Story & IP Lab

Cross-functional R&D where the engines meet—experimenting, prototyping, and refining

Phased AI Build Strategy

Cast → Crews → Cloud: We start local, validate quality and safety, then scale to the cloud

Phase 1Complete

CrewAI POC

Orchestrated agent crews in JupyterLab—validated the concept

Phase 2Ongoing

Orchestrated GPT Agents

Expanding specialized agents with planning structure—tone, safety, storytelling charm

Phase 3Next

CrewAI Crews via APIs

Formal teams and repeatable workflows—ready for partner programs

Phase 4Later

Cloud Migration

Move stable workloads to cloud for reliability and scale

The Long-Term Flywheel

Great stories → engaged families → learning insights → better stories. Each world we build teaches us how to build the next one better, faster, and safer. The engine gets smarter as we grow.

Long-term: we're building this engine so independent studios and creator teams can use an AI-first strategy to compete—ethically and at studio-grade quality. Learn more

Guardrails make the magic possible

Safety isn't an add-on—it's how we build trust and keep the wonder safe, kind, and consistent

Safety is built into our systems—from on-device checks to human review—so trust is preserved as our worlds grow.

Child-supportive tone rules

Every word is crafted to be warm, encouraging, and age-appropriate—no accidental scares or confusing tangents

Dual safety checks

Automated validation plus human review before anything reaches kids—two layers of protection working together

Human review process

Real people review all kid-facing content to ensure it meets our safety and quality standards

Session-only analytics, no PII

Minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand site usage—no personal information collected or stored

No child data collected yet

Privacy-first by design—no child accounts, no child personal data collected—privacy is built in from the start

Parent/educator co-pilot posture

You're not a bystander—you're part of the experience, with insights and controls that matter

No accounts. No child data. Just stories, demos, and transparent progress.
