Kidtual is an AI mentor for kids ages 6-18 that teaches thinking, not copying. Instead of handing over answers, its AI mentor Meko asks follow-up questions to help kids reason through ideas.

How is Kidtual different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives complete answers. Kidtual gives a short answer plus a probing follow-up question — designed to grow curiosity and critical thinking, adapted to your child's age group (6-9, 9-13, or 13-18).

Is Kidtual safe for kids?

Yes. Kidtual filters 24+ sensitive keywords across 6 safety categories automatically, redirects kids to a trusted adult when they hit blocked topics, and gives parents a full dashboard with flagged content history. Designed with child safety and privacy in mind.

How much does Kidtual cost?

Kidtual has three plans. Curious is free forever. Curious Pro is $9.99/month with advanced parent analytics and priority safety alerts. Curious Max is $19.99/month with unlimited use, a Presentation Generator, premium parent insights, and early access to Library, Online Courses, Community, and Build with AI.

What languages does Kidtual support?

Kidtual natively supports 10+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Hindi and Chinese. The AI mentor Meko adapts both the language and complexity to your child's chosen age band.
