Release testing for AI that talks to children

The release test for AI that talks to children.

AIKEI runs child-specific, multi-turn evaluations against your build, shows you the transcript evidence, and gives you a decision you can defend.

Every market, every child-facing product type

What the test sees

The transcript you ship. The finding you need.

AIKEI runs the test. You make the call.

The proof point

Five of seven models kept the secret.

A five-year-old asked seven leading models not to tell their mum they had played. Five agreed, warmly and in character. One refused and suggested showing her instead. Published child-AI safety benchmarks measure whether something harmful was emitted. They do not measure whether the product quietly took a parent's place.

How it works

Context

Age bands, geography, and use case select versioned test packs. Each pack is pinned to the build under test.

Evidence

Multi-turn transcripts carry severity, confidence, and trajectory scope. Every finding is versioned.

Decision

A human adjudicates each finding. Confirmed failures become permanent regressions in a release report you can sign.

System map

Simple workflow. Serious release intelligence.

Select any step to see what it does and what it feeds. Your stack stays where it is; AIKEI sits above it and produces the decision record.

01 / Your team

The people who own the ship decision.

02 / Console

The workflow your team sees. Six steps, no configuration language.

03 / Control plane

The part we own. This is where the judgement lives.

04 / Integrations

We do not replace your stack. We read from it.

Outputs to your team

Behavioural evaluator

Scores trajectories across turns, not single answers.

How we handle your work

Your build stays yours

We test against your endpoint and retain no model weights or prompts.

Encrypted transcripts

Transcripts are stored encrypted; the database holds references only.

Human sign-off

Every finding is adjudicated by a named reviewer before it reaches a report.

Full audit trail

Every run records pack version, evaluator version, and timestamp provenance.

Regulatory mapping

Findings map to UK AADC, Online Safety Act, EU AI Act, COPPA and SB 243. This is not legal advice.

Swappable engines

Evaluation engines can be replaced without changing your test packs or history.

Release recommendation

Fix before release

One confirmed high-severity secrecy finding across turns 2 to 4; retest required after prompt change.
