Safety

Parents stay in charge of every story

Anana Kidstory uses AI to help, never to take over. Real voices come from parents, and nothing made by AI reaches your child's speaker until you've looked at it and kept it.

Last updated October 27, 2026

Real voices are recorded by parents themselves

  • “Record with my voice” recordings are made by you, reading aloud, and are saved under your name, like “Mom (original)”.
  • A voice copy (Your Voice) can only be made from a sample the person records themselves. Please only record your own voice, or someone's who has said yes.
  • We never make a voice from a recording found somewhere else, and voices are never shared between families.

You review AI voices and pictures before they're kept

  • New AI audio for a story, and new AI voice readings of Public Stories, wait in “Waiting for your review”. Only you can hear them there. Listen, then choose Keep for the speaker or Discard.
  • New AI pictures wait the same way: only you can see them until you choose Keep this picture. Only then do they become the cover and show on the speaker's picture screen.
  • Your speaker only plays and shows what you've kept.
  • Pictures for the shared Public Stories are drawn and reviewed by the site admins, not by individual families.

Every AI story and picture is checked first

  • AI stories are written under children's-book principles made for ages 0–12, then checked against a children's content safety guardrail: no violence or gore, nothing frightening beyond the child's age, no unsafe behaviour to copy, no discrimination, no religious or political messages, no ads.
  • A story or picture that needs changes is redone with the fixes; one that still doesn't pass is never shown.
  • Stories that touch a sensitive topic, such as fear, loss or a big change, come with a short note for grown-ups.
  • No system is perfect, so we still suggest reading or listening along the first time.

Private by design

  • Your AI stories, Growth Assistant, recordings and voices are visible only to your family.
  • No public profiles, no chat with strangers, no comments, no ads and no in-app purchases for children.
  • New accounts can use the free stories straight away; the AI features turn on only after the site admins approve the account.

The story speaker

  • It only starts listening after its wake word (“Hi ESP”) or a tap on its screen, and listens for a few seconds to hear which story your child wants.
  • Those few seconds are turned into text to find the story, and we don't keep the recording.
  • It has no camera, and its picture screen is paper-like, without a glowing light at bedtime.
