Pinwheel originally started making smartphones for kids. Now they've also created a chatbot to answer kids' questions and provide information.

FOX 7's Kelly Saberi caught up with the creator of Pinwheel GPT to see how it works.As kids in Central Texas head back to school they may turn to AI resources like chatbots to get information and ask questions about growing up. One Austin father and entrepreneur created Pinwheel GPT as a safe way for kids to do that.

The unique extra layer of Pinwheel GPT is that parents can jump in the conversation, clarify answers, and take a peek into their child’s curiosity. "It really is a machine that's just mimicking humans. It has no emotions and no intentionality," Witbeck said. "Besides, just to make you a little bit happier and to try to solve your problems today and so it doesn't have any emotions around it." Another worry you might have is that your kid might use AI to cheat on their homework.
