Real AI coding. Wrapped in a game console for your kid.
VibeBoy puts Anthropic's frontier AI — the real production model, not a kiddie stand-in — inside a console a ten-year-old can drive. They type an idea; AI writes the code and explains every line.

Not a kid-toy version of AI. The actual frontier model.
You already use AI every day. Your kid is growing up assuming it just exists — the question is whether they consume it or command it. VibeBoy is the on-ramp from "AI does things for me" to "I build things with AI," starting at age eight.
the same frontier model devs use — not a sandboxed toy
of employers expect AI to transform their business by 2030
the ages it's built for — frontier AI, kid-safe interface
Chatting with AI is one thing. Building working software with it is another.
A real frontier-AI dev tool. Hidden inside a toy.
Type an idea. Watch the game appear.
Your kid types 'make a space shooter' — AI writes working code, the game runs immediately. The same model that ships production software, pointed at a first idea.
Every line of code, explained in kid-language.
Hover on any line. AI explains exactly what it does. Your kid learns to read real code — the literacy that makes AI a tool instead of a black box.
Try: if (ship.y > 120) …
The AI plays the game. Reports what's broken.
When something breaks, the AI runs the game, catches the error, and explains the fix in plain English. Agentic debugging — the real workflow — made visible to a ten-year-old.

Questions parents ask
The stuff you want to know before you hand your kid the keyboard.
Is it safe for my kid?
Privacy-first by design. No ads, ever. No DMs, no open chat, no friend requests. The public gallery only allows pre-set emoji reactions, and every shared game is reviewed before it goes live.
Is there chat or social messaging?
No. Kids never message other kids. The only interaction on shared games is a small set of moderated emoji reactions. No usernames, no inbox, no strangers reaching them.
What does the AI actually do?
It writes working game code from your kid's plain-language idea ("a frog that jumps on lily pads"), then explains every line. Your kid reads the code, edits it, and remixes — the AI is a tutor, not a ghost-writer.
Can my kid keep the games they make?
Yes. Free plan saves up to 3 games. Pro exports any game as a standalone HTML file that runs in any browser, forever — even if you cancel. Their work is theirs.
What's the refund & cancel policy?
Cancel anytime from the account page — one click, no phone call — and you keep access through the end of your billing period. First-time annual plans have a 14-day refund window; monthly is non-refundable. See our Refund Policy for details.
What ages is it actually for?
Ages 8–16. Reading level around grade 3. Zero prior coding required for the visual "No-Type" templates; kids ready for syntax unlock the full TypeScript editor around age 10–11.
