Safe, voice-first AI companion for kids aged 4 to 15 with a parent dashboard
Askie is a London startup building a safe, voice-first AI companion for children aged 4 to 15. Kids can ask questions out loud, get homework help, create stories and AI art, with answers shaped to the child's age, safety checks on every reply and a parent dashboard showing what they explore; there is also a schools offering. Founder and CEO Saar Benodiz previously worked at Meta on the Meta AI app's speech-to-speech models. In October 2026 Askie announced a $3M seed round backed by vgames.
