How Nooodle works for families

An honest description of what we've built and what we haven't. We don't claim perfection — just describe the specific choices behind the space. Parental supervision is always recommended.

A few words up front

Nooodle is a creative space that young creators use under a parent-managed account. It's an early-stage product, not a certified educational service. No automated system catches everything, and no marketing page can promise that one does. What we can do is describe — specifically — what we built, and why.

1. Prompts are screened before generation

Before any text prompt is sent to an AI provider, it passes through our content filter. The filter looks for categories that have no place in a family creative app:

  • Violent, graphic, or disturbing content
  • Sexual or suggestive content
  • Hateful or discriminatory content
  • Content targeting real individuals
  • Content related to dangerous activities or substances

Prompts that fail this check are blocked before they reach the AI provider. The young creator sees a friendly message and is offered alternative ideas.

2. Outputs are screened after generation

Generated images and videos pass through a secondary classifier before being shown in the space. AI models occasionally produce unexpected results even from innocent prompts; this second pass catches and suppresses obvious edge cases.

Filters are probabilistic, not perfect. If something slips through, please tell us at hello@nooodle.ai.

3. The Parent Dashboard

Parents can review activity on the account at any time through the Parent Dashboard:

  • Activity log — generations, with dates and the prompts used
  • Filter events — any prompt that was blocked by the content filter
  • Published works — anything the parent has shared to the Gallery
  • Credit usage — how many tokens have been used and when

4. The Gallery is moderated

Works only appear in the public Gallery after the parent chooses to publish them, and after an additional human-assisted moderation review. Published works show only the chosen nickname — never a real name, age, or location.

5. No social features, by design

Nooodle is not a social network. There is no direct messaging, no follower feed, no profile search. The Gallery is the only public-facing surface, and it is moderated. We don't plan to add social features in the near term.

6. No advertising

Nooodle is ad-free. Our revenue comes from parent subscriptions, so our incentives are aligned with families rather than with ad networks. We do not share data with advertisers or data brokers.

7. How accounts work

All accounts are created and controlled by a parent or legal guardian aged 18 or older. Children do not sign up directly. Inside the parent's account, young creators use a nickname-only creative profile — we don't ask for their real name, their age, or any other personal information.

For full details on data handling, see our Privacy Policy.

8. AI providers we use

We select AI providers whose content policies align with our use case, and we re-evaluate them regularly. Every generated image or video in Nooodle is labelled as AI-created. We believe helping young creators understand how AI works — not just consume it — is part of what the product is for.

9. Ages

Nooodle is designed to be used by young creators ages 6–14 together with a parent or guardian, who creates and controls the account. We recommend that parents supervise younger creators (under 8) directly.

10. Reporting something

If something doesn't look right — a filter miss, a Gallery item, a bug, anything else — please tell us:

We aim to read reports within 24 hours. Urgent issues are escalated to the team immediately.

A living document

This page describes what exists today. As we improve the space, we update this page. We're an early-stage team and we won't pretend we've solved things we haven't. Thanks for building with us.
