- Is this just ChatGPT for kids?
No. HeartBuddy uses AI to recognize emotions and respond – but only within carefully designed emotional flows. All content is age-appropriate and pre-reviewed.
- Can I trust AI with my child’s emotions?
Yes – because it’s not open. Every response is shaped by child development experts and follows emotional safety guidelines.
- Is this therapy?
No. HeartBuddy is not a therapeutic or diagnostic tool. It’s a supportive companion to build emotional awareness and vocabulary.
- Will my child stop talking to real people?
Quite the opposite. HeartBuddy encourages reflection and communication – with caregivers, friends, and teachers.
- How does HeartBuddy help during a quick clinic visit?
Even in a short 10–15 minute appointment, HeartBuddy can calm a child in the waiting room and prepare them for what’s about to happen (like a vaccine or ear check). This makes the visit smoother for the child, the parent, and the staff.
- What if my child gets nervous about medical tools (needles, drills, machines)?
HeartBuddy includes simple role-play and comic scripts that explain these tools in kid-friendly language. Children can “practice” on the character first, so when the real moment comes, they already know what to expect.
