Exciting news! I’ve just launched the beta for ReflectoBot, an AI-powered app that helps kids explore their feelings and build emotional awareness through short, guided reflections. 💜🤖

It’s designed with emotional safety in mind — kids can chat freely with ReflectoBot for up to 5 minutes each day, after which it switches to gentle preset responses. This keeps conversations short, positive, and supports healthy screen habits.

If you’re a parent, teacher, or counselor (or know someone who is), I’d love your feedback as we test and refine it. You can learn more or sign up here: reflectobot.com

General chatbots wander. Kids need rails. I built ReflectoBot to keep conversations age-appropriate and escalation-aware. Here’s the safety framework I use. Where do you disagree, and what would you add for classrooms? Tag an educator who should weigh in.
