Treehouse Chat App

A child safe chat app that helps kids develop social skills.

What it does

Some kids are shy, or experience other social difficulties that deter them from making friends in the real world. Sometimes it’s easier to interact with other kids using an anonymous chat app, where they are less exposed.
However, the internet can be a dangerous place.
In order to overcome these obstacles, „Treehouse“ chat app uses Gemini‘s capabilities in the following ways: Camp counselors - male and female chatbots with unique personas, that are there to answer the kids’ questions, provide orientation and entertainment and teach the kids social skills. Sentiment recognition: The app categorizes the kids’ messages by sentiment. Certain sentiments trigger actions - offensive and inappropriate messages are blocked immediately. if the child sends distressed messages for a predefined duration a message is sent to the parent. If the child sends bored messages for a predefined period of time a camp counselor joins the room and suggests activities.
language comprehension: if the messages include information that can compromise the kid’s privacy and put them in risk, the message is blocked. If the kid asks the counselors to arrange a meeting with a friend outside the app, a message is sent to the parent of the child with the email address of the other child’s parent, so they could organize a meeting between their kids safely.
