SAFETY

Made for parentsto use with children.

Shared storytelling — not a private conversation between a child and an app.

• The grown-up controls the device
• Children don’t need to touch the screen
• No AI narrator
• No AI companion
• No ads
• No endless video feed
• Stories shaped for different ages

You stay in the story

A grown-up holds the device, reads the words and selects the child’s choices.

Your child can listen, imagine, interrupt, argue passionately for the suspicious-looking door, and tell you what should happen next.

They don’t need their own account or a private conversation with AI.

Stories that suit your family

Stories are written for ages 6–7 and 8–10, with language, pacing and themes adjusted accordingly. Not every age band has a story yet.

Every child is different. Age bands are a guide, not a promise that every story will suit every child.

You’re there with them, so you can pause, stop or choose another adventure whenever you like.

No microphone, no recordings

ThatStoryThing doesn’t use your device’s microphone or camera.

Nothing you say is recorded, and nobody’s reading is graded. Bedtime is not an audition.

Quiet technology

There is technology behind ThatStoryThing. We try to keep it exactly there: behind the story.

Our stories are written with the help of generative AI, then read and approved by a person before families see them. Nothing is generated while you read, and AI never becomes your child’s narrator, friend or companion.

Our first-party analytics tells us simple things like whether stories are started and completed. It isn’t used for advertising, and we deliberately avoid collecting information we don’t need.
