For parents

You don't have to become the AI expert in your house.

Most of these conversations aren't really about AI. They're about a curious child who's slightly ahead of their friends and starting to spend serious time on a screen. You want them learning judgement, not just consumption. That's the whole stance.

/ Judgement over dependence/ Supervised, small, live/ Refundable deposit

AI fluency is becoming the new literacy, like math, it'll matter whichever path your child takes. This isn't a bet on any one career.

What we care about, in order

Judgement over dependence

Your child leaves able to see through AI output, to catch it when it's flattering them, dodging, or just plain wrong. The agent they build is the practice ground for exactly that. And that's the honest answer to 'is this safe?': the safest place a child can be with AI isn't blocked from it, it's understanding it well enough to catch it lying.

Supervised, small, live

A small group, cameras on, the founder in every session. Nowhere to hide, no back row.

Visible shipped proof

At the end you sit down and use what your child built, a real thing at a real link, not a certificate or a slide deck.

A deposit you can actually get back

$100, fully refundable until Week 1. No processing fee, no fine print, no friction.

Why this exists

Parent to parent, why I built this.

Tarun Chaudhary, founder of VERiQ

Tarun Chaudhary

Built by Tarun Chaudhary, twenty years shipping real products (ex-Amazon, on the Alexa team, 30-plus launched), and a parent of an 11- and 14-year-old facing the same screen, the same questions, and the same worry you are.

The answers on offer for our kids came down to fear or a shrug, and neither was useful. So this is the thing he wanted for his own two: a way to put a real tool in their hands and teach them to be the one in charge of it.

Why listen to him on it? Not because he says so, because he's making the same call you are, and because the method here is the same one he's used to ship real things for two decades.

Safety, consent, privacy

The operational safety is covered below. The deeper safety is the point of the whole program, a child who can see through AI doesn't need to be walled off from it.

  • Parental consent at signup. A short form. Plain language. No dark patterns.
  • Minimal data. Your child's name, a parent email, and what they're into. Nothing more.
  • Supervised sessions, cameras on, the founder always present. No breakout rooms with unknown adults.
  • No external sharing of your child's work without your say-so.
  • One named, accountable adult, the same person every week.
