Sorin is a safe AI learning companion built for kids ages 6 to 15, and for the parents who want to stay in control. Most AI tools were built for adults. Sorin was built for children, with safety as the foundation, not an afterthought. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE SORIN Your child stays anonymous to the AI. Before anything reaches the model, our Privacy Guard swaps your child's identity for a stand-in. Personal details never travel to the AI. You see everything. Full conversation transcripts, plain-English weekly recaps, and real-time safety alerts, all in the parent dashboard. It teaches thinking, not shortcuts. Sorin is Socratic by design. It guides your child to reason through a problem instead of handing over the answer. You control the data. Conversations auto-delete on a schedule you set. No advertising. No selling of kids' data. Ever. HOW IT WORKS Kids sign in safely and ask about homework, a curious question, or a topic they are learning. Sorin responds at their level, encourages reasoning, and keeps the tone age-appropriate. You get visibility into all of it. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE CHILD Sorin tracks growth across curiosity, persistence, vocabulary, communication, and reasoning, so you see how your child is learning, not just what they typed. BUILT BY A SECURITY-FIRST TEAM Sorin is made by WhitegloveAI, a Texas company, and aligned to ISO 42001 and the NIST AI RMF. Download Sorin and give your child a smarter, safer way to learn with AI.

About

Pathfinder Tutor

Read full description

Pathfinder is the AI tutor that refuses to do your kid's homework for them — and that's the point. Most AI apps hand students the answer. Pathfinder does the opposite. Using a proven Socratic method, it guides your child to the solution with thoughtful questions, hints, and encouragement — so they build real understanding and the confidence to solve the next problem on their own. Built for K-12 students across math, science, reading, writing, and more. HOW IT WORKS • Your student asks a question or shares what they're stuck on • Pathfinder responds like a great tutor would — with a guiding question, not the answer • Step by step, your child works their way to the solution and understands why it works WHY PARENTS LOVE IT • No more "copy-paste" homework — Pathfinder never just gives answers • Builds critical thinking and independence • Patient, judgment-free help available any time of day • Session summaries so you can see what your child worked on WHY STUDENTS LOVE IT • A tutor that's always available and never makes them feel dumb • Works across every subject • Celebrates progress and keeps them motivated FREE TO START • 3 tutoring sessions every month, free • 1 student profile • Basic session summaries PATHFINDER PREMIUM • Unlimited tutoring sessions • Up to 5 student profiles — perfect for families • Full session history and mastery tracking to see growth over time Premium is $12.99/month or $99.99/year.
