Nano

Gentle AI chat built for children aged 6–12, with EU-first privacy.

What it is

A closed, kid-safe AI companion for curiosity, homework help, and creative play. Voice or text. No open web browsing inside the product according to the maker.

Age guidance

Marketed for ages 6–12. Child profiles are parent-managed; children do not create their own accounts.

Parent controls

Parents set age/interests and safety settings. Weekly topic summaries and heads-up alerts (without exact child wording by default). Conversation history retention is parent-configurable (off / 7 / 30 days / until deleted). Parents cannot casually open full chat transcripts in-app — review of held data is via a verified privacy request. Pause/adjust anytime.

Privacy / data (UK/EU framing)

Operated by SafeCircles GmbH (Germany). Claims no ads, no analytics tools, no selling of data, and no training of public models on child chats. Core data hosted in the EU (Germany); AI replies via Anthropic Claude on Amazon Bedrock with an EU inference profile and zero-retention configuration. UK users: privacy policy says Nano is designed with the ICO Children's Code in mind. Some limited US processors for TTS/subscriptions (ElevenLabs, RevenueCat) with SCCs/DPF as described in their policy.

Why this verdict

Pass for families looking for a purpose-built under-13 AI with strong European privacy language and no ads.

Nano is designed around childhood use rather than bolted-on filters. Parent setup, age-tuned answers, closed world (no open web per the site), and clear GDPR framing are positives for UK/EU parents.

Stay aware

• Parents do not get casual full-transcript monitoring in the normal UI — that is intentional privacy design, but it is a trade-off if you want to read every chat.
• Safety systems and AI answers can still fail; treat alerts as a help, not a guarantee.
• Confirm current App Store / Play availability and parental gate settings on your own devices before relying on them.
