For curious kids 3–9 · You can read their conversations

Their first AI should be made for them.

Safe AI voice buddies for curious kids. Your child talks out loud with one of seventeen animated characters, and every chat is pitched just right for their age and sprinkled with the things they love. Every reply is safety-checked, you can read every conversation, and for anything serious, the buddy points them back to you while you’re told straight away.

Free to download, with free voice chats, stories and songs to try. iPhone, iPad & Android.
No ads, ever No data sold COPPA compliant No open internet App Store Kids category KORA safety tested

17 characters. 17 voices. 17 personalities.

Professor Hoo does space and science. Bobo does brave rescue dogs. Tiko knows the oldest creatures on Earth. Every buddy has its own voice, its own quirks and its own favourite subjects, and none of them are locked. Every buddy is included on every plan, the free one too.

Our number one goal

Safety isn't a feature we added.
It's the whole reason WimziPal exists.

Keeping children safe is the first thing we build and the last thing we check. The buddy lives behind a wall with no open internet, no strangers and no ads, so nothing wanders in from outside, and every reply is checked before your child ever hears it. And if your child tells the buddy something serious, it can be flagged and emailed to you, and the conversation is waiting in your parent area to read for yourself.

Read their conversations

Read your child’s conversations with the buddy, word for word, in your PIN-protected parent area. Kept for 90 days.

Captions for every line

Every word the buddy speaks can appear on screen as a caption. That helps early readers, quieter play, and any child who follows along best with words on screen.

Screen-time limits

Set a daily cap and allowed hours. No infinite scroll, no autoplay. It simply stops.

PIN + Face ID gate

Every setting sits behind a parental PIN, so little hands can't wander where they shouldn't.

It points to a grown-up they trust

For anything heavy, the buddy answers kindly and steers your child to a grown-up they trust. It never pretends to be a parent, and serious moments can be flagged and emailed to you.

Voice and photos are never stored

Recordings and camera photos are sent to our services to be understood, then discarded. We never keep your child’s voice or photos.

KORA: an outside child-safety benchmark we run ourselves We try to break our own buddy, on purpose.

Hundreds of deliberately tricky conversations, designed to test how AI talks to children. We run it on our own buddy and re-run it from time to time.

Three taps to a brand-new friend

No reading required. No tiny buttons. Just pick, tap, and talk. How WimziPal works for kids who can’t read yet.

  1. A child reaches toward a fan of glowing buddy cards to choose one

    Pick a buddy

    Choose from 17 animated characters: a calm turtle, a goofy dog, a wise owl, and more.

  2. A child holds up a phone and chats with Bobo the dog while Professor Hoo the owl listens

    Tap & talk

    Your child speaks out loud and the buddy listens, then answers in its own warm voice.

  3. A child sits on a cushion with Bobo the dog and Tiko the turtle as songs, planets and a dinosaur swirl around them

    Explore together

    Build a story, sing a song, play a letter game, colour a picture, or play a mini-game.

So much more than a chatbot

Active, imaginative play your child talks back to, instead of another passive screen. It is deliberately narrower than a general assistant: here is why a ChatGPT-style chatbot is the wrong shape for a young child.

Voice chat

Just tap and talk. The buddy listens and replies out loud in real time, so nothing has to be read. There is a keyboard too, for a child who would rather type.

Build a story

Your child picks the hero, the place and the quest, and the buddy spins it into a personalised adventure, read aloud. Perfect for wind-down and bedtime.

Sing a song

Every buddy knows fun tunes and will sing along in its own unique character voice.

Colour & create

The buddy draws a picture, your child colours it in on their own canvas, and saves the masterpiece to the photo album.

Letters & phonics

A playful letter-sound game. The buddy says a sound and your child names something that starts with it. Early reading, disguised as play.

Fun facts

Fascinating tidbits about animals, space, and the world, from a patient tutor that never gets tired.

Show & tell

Point the camera at a toy or a drawing and the buddy describes what it sees, or plays a game of I Spy together.

Discover together

Each buddy has its own world of things to explore, from space and the ocean to dinosaurs and kindness, with playful "things to try" to unlock.

Mini-games

Three games to play together: a Memory game to match the pairs, Buddy says, where your child listens and only moves when Mimi says, and Dance floor, where Michelle teaches a dance step by step. Always free, and they never use the allowance.

Why I built WimziPal

The founder's young nephew and niece side by side on a couch, one colouring a puppy in WimziPal on an iPad, the other playing WimziPal on a phone

“I'm not a mum, I'm the cool aunt. I'd watch my nephew and niece take in hours of videos and come away with nothing they could tell me about. Absorbing isn't learning. Learning is answering back. So I built something that asks them things instead of just playing at them.”

The questions every parent asks

Is it actually safe for young kids?
It’s built for them first. Every message and every reply goes through five safety checks on our server before your child hears anything. The buddy is built not to encourage secrets or dependence, and it steers sensitive topics to a trusted grown-up. You can read back their conversations in the parent area.
How will I know if something is wrong?
We email you about anything serious, and the conversation is marked as flagged in your parent area.
Won't this just replace me as a parent?
It's built to do the opposite. The buddy never pretends to be a parent. For anything that matters, it gently points your child to the trusted grown-ups in their life, like you. Think of it as the patient friend that answers the 400 “why” questions, not a substitute for connection.
Is it just more screen time?
It's active, not passive. Your child has to talk, ask, imagine, and answer back. There's no infinite scroll and no autoplay-next. You set a daily limit, and when it's reached, the app simply stops.
Are you harvesting my child's data?
No. There are no ads and no data sold to third parties. Voice recordings and photos are processed and discarded, never kept. Only a parent email, the child’s first name and their date of birth are needed to sign up. The date is what keeps replies age-appropriate. Conversations are kept for 90 days so you can read them, and everything is removed from the app right away and fully purged within 30 days if you delete your account. Our Privacy Policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how to delete it. We’re COPPA compliant.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. WimziPal is free to download, and every one of the 17 buddies is included, with over 130 free activities to try: 20 voice chats, 12 stories, 12 photo chats, 12 discoveries, 6 ABC rounds, plus songs and fun facts for every buddy, and unlimited colouring, drawing and mini-games. Those free tries do not refill, so a subscription is how it keeps going: Playtime ($5.99/mo) gives about 171 voice chats a month, or 74 stories, or 70 songs; Premium ($7.99/mo or $49.99/yr) gives about 228 voice chats a month, or 99 stories, or 94 songs. It is one monthly allowance spent however your child likes, and Premium starts with a 7-day free trial. One voice chat is one thing your child says and the buddy’s spoken answer.
What ages is it for?
WimziPal is designed for children aged 3 to 9 (App Store rating 4+; in the App Store Kids section it is listed for ages 6 to 8). It's built for pre-readers and early readers: simple voice chat, gentle stories, songs, and fun facts, all kept age-appropriate with parents in control. We have a guide for every year from 3 to 9.
What language do the buddies speak?
The buddies speak and understand English.
