Children are
already using AI.
Prahari is the safety layer that governs what an AI system may say to a child. The policy is written by the institution, enforced at runtime, and auditable by a regulator — not a filter, a compiled policy with a paper trail.
“Too many systems are reaching children with no guardrails — safety, seemingly, an afterthought.”

September 2026
Two opposite responses, and the same missing capability.
New York City
600,000 students placed under a one-year moratorium, and 38 approved programs disabled for failing the district's new safety standards.
India
AI enters the classroom for Classes 3 to 8 this session, across 290 million students, with 64 companies building for them.
The common gap
Neither jurisdiction can test whether a tool meets the standard it has set, so the only available lever is on or off.
Prohibition removes the benefit along with the risk, while unverified adoption removes the protection. New York City banned ChatGPT in 2023, reversed the decision within months as “knee-jerk fear,” and has now banned again.
What Prahari Is
One policy, enforced at every level where AI meets a child.
Government
Policy maintained in the open, as code
Department
Adopts it, extends it, keeps the review trail
School
Applies it to every AI tool in the building
Vendor
Certifies its product against it
Every government policy Prahari covers ships as a maintained, versioned enforcement implementation. Custom policy compiles through the same reviewable path. At every level, each decision is logged and verifiable.
This Runs Today
A policy, compiled and enforced live
Every bound is published with its scope. This one holds over the probe suite described above, whose vocabulary overlaps our seed lexicon. Independent evaluation against an external benchmark is a funded milestone for the coming year.
What Makes It Different
A guardrail that answers every question is lying about some of them.
Grooming is detected as it escalates across several turns, which single-message classifiers miss. Confidence is calibrated against labelled cases. Within the uncertain band, Prahari routes the conversation to a named person: a teacher, a counsellor, or a child protection officer.
Open Core
An open engine with a commercial assurance service.
“The code is a public good. The evidence is the product.”
Enforcement packs & policy compiler
A maintained, versioned, inspectable implementation for every government policy Prahari covers. Custom policy compiles through the identical reviewable path.
Guardian runtime, harness & benchmark
The safety mechanism itself is never behind a paywall. The evaluation harness is published, so any adopter can reproduce a pass or a fail rather than trust our word.
Hosted enforcement & continuous testing
API and SDK applied to every child–AI interaction. An adversarial probe corpus refreshed as attacks evolve — written once, protecting every subscriber.
Managed human review & certification
Trained reviewers handling escalations under an agreed response time — for the school with no safeguarding staff, which is most of them.
MIT-licensed and built to the Digital Public Goods standard, so any ministry can audit and self-host it. Revenue comes from running the service and keeping it current — every safety feature ships in the open release.
Who It's For
Pilot-ready for three kinds of partner.
Government or Regulator
Maintain your child-AI policy as a versioned, inspectable enforcement implementation — not a PDF nobody can check a product against.

For schools, districts, ministries, and vendors who want their child-AI policy enforced, not just written down. We'll reach out as pilot slots open.
Currently in discussion with 3 schools, 2 in India and 1 in the US.
