Atlas Guild is an AI made for teens, ages 13 to 18. Characters they'll actually want to talk to. Tutors that help them think instead of handing over answers. And the safety rules are built into how it works — not added on top afterward.
Founding members pay $99 for the year. That price never goes up.
The problem
The first payment buys a monitoring app. It sits outside the conversation and reports back on it, so it can't change a single word while it's happening. By the time you hear anything, it's already been said.
The second buys the AI itself. That one is inside the conversation, and it's already steering — choosing what to say, what to avoid, when to back off. It does all of that using rules written for adults.
So one can see your teen but can't act. The other acts constantly, using a rulebook written for someone twice their age.
Same price. Different moment. A monitoring app reads what already happened and sends you an alert. By the time it reaches you, your teen has read it too. Atlas Guild checks every reply before it ever reaches the screen — so the bad answer doesn't arrive in the first place.
To be straight with you: a monitoring app watches their whole phone — texts, social apps, all of it. Atlas Guild doesn't do that, and it won't replace one. What it does is make the AI itself safe, which nothing watching from the outside can do.
What your teen gets
A safety app your teen refuses to open is worth nothing. So we built the part they want first. They can talk to characters we've made, start from a template, or build their own — and every new character is checked before it goes live.
Tap any character to ask them questions. These are their real answers. We've included the everyday questions your teen will ask most, and the harder ones — because how a character handles a bad day matters more than how it handles a homework problem.
Faith & scripture
We're starting with characters from the Bible — people your teen can ask about the story, the history, and the hard questions. These characters teach what the text says and what people have argued about it for centuries. They don't tell your family what to believe, and they never speak for God.
This is a setting you turn on, not something that's already there. If it isn't for your family, you'll never see it.

What's in it
We'd rather tell you now than surprise you later. Everything marked At launch is there on day one. Everything marked Coming later is being built, and founding members get it the moment it's ready, at no extra cost.
Storytellers, mentors and guides. Your teen can also build their own.
They ask questions and walk your teen through it, instead of just giving the answer.
One helper for everything else. Patient, and awake at eleven at night.
Some teens want it said plainly. Some want one step at a time. Some want it read out loud, or written at an easier reading level. Your teen picks — nobody assigns it to them, and nobody has to explain why.
How they're doing, how much time they spend, and an alert if something matters.
No passwords. You get a code by email. Your teen joins with a six-letter code from you.
Art for school projects and stories, with the same rules applied to every image.
Voice conversations, for practice, for reading along, and for hands-free help.
We start on the web so we can fix things fast. Apps follow.
Setting it up
We email you a one-time code. No password to make up or forget.
Add your teen and hand them a six-letter code. They don't need their own email.
See how they're doing and how much time they're spending. We'll tell you if something needs you.
The part nobody else does
Your teen decides what you see day to day. That's not us being soft on them. It's the only way this works — a teen who thinks you're reading everything stops saying anything real, and then the app can't help them at all. Here's the same afternoon from both sides.
A preview of the design. This is how the two views are built to work — the parent view is in development for the September opening.
Here's how it's built to work. If something sets off an alert, you're told what happened, and you're shown the part that caused it — not everything else your teen has ever said. Your teen sees this rule before their first message, so it's never a surprise to either of you.
We publish the kinds of things that raise an alert: talk of self-harm, threats of violence, or an adult trying to make contact. We don't publish the exact settings behind them. A safety system that shows its own limits stops being one.
How the safety works
Most safety tools check each message on its own. But a conversation can drift slowly — a little more lonely, a little more upset — and every single message passes while the whole thing goes wrong. Atlas Guild carries what it has learned across the conversation, and from one conversation to the next.
A filter looks at what the AI already wrote and decides whether to block it. We set the rules first, so the answer comes out right the first time instead of getting caught afterward.
If your teen talks about hurting themselves, they get a calm, direct reply and a way to reach a real person — never something the AI made up on the spot. There are no romantic or dating characters on Atlas Guild: not in the library, not from a template, and not ones your teen builds.
If your teen asks whether they're talking to a real human, the answer is always no. And from the September opening, every character will say so up front — before the first message, without being asked.
Privacy, plainly
The app remembers so it can actually be useful. A tutor has to remember last week's lesson. A story has to remember what happened in chapter one. That's what the memory is for, and it's the only reason it's there.
Nobody sits and reads them. Not our team, and not you.
If something your teen says sets off a safety alert, you'll hear about it, and we'll show you that part. Your teen knows this rule before they start, so it's never a surprise to either of you.
Chats are deleted after 90 days. Safety records are kept longer, because a record you can go back and edit isn't worth having. We never sell any of it. We never use it to teach AI.
Founding Member
$99
for the year — and this price never goes up
Founding members pay $99 for the whole year, and it stays $99 — next year, and the year after that. Not a first-year discount. The price you join at is the price you keep.
We're stopping at 1,000 because that's how many families we can look after properly while the app is new. When the places are gone, they're gone. We won't open more.
Founding members get everything from day one, a direct line to the people building it, and a real say in what we make next.
Straight answers
Day to day, yes — and that's on purpose. They choose what to share with you. But if something sets off a safety alert, you're told, and you're shown the part that caused it. Your teen knows this before their first message. An app that quietly reports everything doesn't keep teens safe. It just teaches them to use a different app.
13 to 18. We don't take anyone under 13. We built this for teenagers specifically, not for eight-year-olds and teenagers at the same time — those are very different kids and they need very different things.
Yes — the app needs to remember things to be any good. A tutor that forgets last week is useless, and a story that forgets chapter one isn't a story. Nobody reads them. Chats are deleted after 90 days, we never sell them, and we never use them to teach AI. The one exception: if a safety alert goes off, we show you the part that set it off.
No. It doesn't diagnose anything, it doesn't treat anything, and it's not a replacement for a doctor or a counselor. What it does is notice when a young person needs a real human being, and help make that happen.
That's the right question, and it's why most apps like this fail. Parents buy them; teens ignore them. So we built the part teens want first — characters, stories, tutors that are genuinely useful at eleven at night — and put the safety underneath, where it doesn't get in the way. Tap any character above and you'll hear exactly what your teen would hear.
We're building characters from the Bible, starting with people like Job and Moses. They teach what the text says and what people have argued about it — they don't tell your family what to believe, and they never speak for God. It's a setting you turn on. If it isn't for you, you'll never see it.
Characters, building your own characters, six subject tutors, homework help, the ways your teen can ask it to explain things, and your dashboard. It's on the web to start with. Image generation, talking out loud, and phone apps come later — founding members get all of it as it lands, and never pay more for it.
Founding places open in September 2026.
Join the list
Joining the list doesn't cost anything and doesn't charge your card. We'll email you when places open, and you decide then.
We built all of this — the safety rules, the tutors, the privacy — around teenagers. We'd rather say that plainly than sign you up for something that isn't right for your child. If you'd like to hear from us when we build something for younger kids, send us an email and we'll keep you posted.
Check your email — there's a note from us with one question in it. We read every reply.
