About the initiative

Learning should be an adventure, not a duty

Minibe is an AI app designed for children and primary schools, with the ambition to transform the way children learn and interact with modern technology.

The vision is long term: a tool that supports teachers, makes it easier for parents to follow their children's progress and gives pupils a safe space to explore, learn and discover. The goal is that children take away not only knowledge, but also inner motivation and self-confidence.

Our philosophy

Included among selected safe AI tools for education

Minibe and AI in education

We connect safe discovery of artificial intelligence for children with methodological support for schools and teachers.

Core principles

AI can be wrong. AI can inspire.

Our primary goal: getting to know AI with its possibilities and its fallibility, developing children's own abilities and their inner motivation to learn.

AI is not infallible

We teach children that AI can be wrong and lead them to check information and think critically instead of trusting technology blindly.

Own abilities first

We motivate children to rely on their own abilities. AI is just a tool; real knowledge comes from books, experience and their own effort.

Motivation, not a substitute for learning

We do not aim to teach instead of teachers or books. We motivate children to learn and read, and build a positive attitude to homework.

Getting to know AI safely

We teach children how AI works, where its limits are and how to use it effectively. Story Guardian detects harmful content in communication.

Cultural sensitivity

Full localisation for the local education system. We respect cultural values and educational traditions, and teach children to use language consciously.

Joy of learning

A playful, interactive environment supports a positive relationship with learning. Learning is an adventure, not a duty.

Modern education with technology
Vision 2040

Preparing for changes in the labour market

According to forecasts, up to 90% of today's occupations will disappear or change radically by 2040. Automation and AI will take over many routine tasks, but new jobs will be created.

Minibe prepares children for a future that will require a high level of digital literacy, work with AI, adaptability, critical thinking and creativity.

Why common AI tools are not suitable for children

❌ Common AI tools on the market

  • No child protection, no filtering of inappropriate content
  • Complex answers that are hard for children to understand
  • No pedagogical approach, no age-appropriate explanations
  • Encourage laziness by giving finished homework instead of guiding to a solution
  • Cannot recognise dangerous communication
  • English-first, not adapted to the local context

✓ Minibe, the safe alternative

  • Story Guardian detects harmful content
  • Age appropriate, adapted to how children understand
  • Guides to the solution instead of giving finished answers
  • Motivates learning and reading books
  • Teaches children to rely on themselves, not on AI
⚠️ An important note for parents. Common AI tools were not designed for children. They are professional tools for adults that can harm children, either through inappropriate content or by giving them finished solutions instead of teaching them to think and look for answers in books. Please consider whether they are suitable for your children.
