Thoughts on using AI as a middleman in parenting

Is an AI “middleman” between kids and parents helpful or just overengineering? It helped me a lot but I only used it when I had to few times a week when he was behaving. I am tlaking about TaleCraft.me

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Are you sitting your kid down in front on a chatbot to have discussions about issues at school or do the birds and bees talk?

First you get a story or create it, you can read it to kid then you can introduce them to characters via Voice Bot with smart matched voice. Parent can put knowledge to the character to lets say mostly focus on explaining emotion controll - super important for kids and caus of a lot of problems. Thing is kids rebell by design, so getting a wizard or princess to casually channel your thougths in is working, tested on live patients :-) Obviously its not to be used all the time for everything but a usefull tool I think

You mean your project? If you're going to try "blackhat" marketing like this, at least do it from a different account, lol.

NOt hiding anything, just asking out of curiosity. I didint do a lot of market validation and I am in general sofware engineer dad building an app. In market for a marketing savy partner if you are looking ;-)

Just warning you - your domain will get blacklisted here on HN if you do this. It's happened to me simply for posting articles. It's a terrible feeling.

Your best bet is to join local facebook groups and post there. Even better if it's a parenting group.
