Family AI built by parents: a companion, a guardian, recipes and lessons
This is the family side of Mudpuppy, built by parents for their own children first. Everything on this site is locked safe-for-work at build time. There is no setting to find and no switch to flip. What you get is a small set of tools that fit into a real household.
The AI Companion Device is a ~$45 pocket buddy that talks, tutors and plays without a screen to stare at. Kids Mode keeps its answers short and a parental lock keeps the account safe behind your password. Little Brother is the household guardian: it watches the house through small sentinel devices, remembers the day, and calls the family each evening. Family Recipes finds kid-friendly, allergy-safe or use-what-is-in-the-fridge meals and checks them against real sources before you cook.
For learning, the Genius track opens the education partner's AI-guided lessons for students, and the companion can award points for staying on task. Beyond that, the site has creative play for kids: living avatars, an animated-avatar maker, companions, interactive adventures, the Card Arena, a creator studio and a coding workshop where a child builds real games by talking.

Frequently asked questions
Is everything on this site safe for children?
The site is locked safe-for-work at build time and cannot be switched off on this domain. Nothing outside the family surfaces is served here, so there is nothing to block or supervise.
What do parents control?
The account, the tokens each tool spends, the companion personality on the device, the parental lock password, who Little Brother calls, and the setup of the coding workshop on the family computer.
Which tools are for the kids and which are for me?
The device, the career tracks, the coding workshop and the creative play are for children. Little Brother and Family Recipes are household tools a parent runs, with a kid-safe voice and a child-friendly start for the recipes.
Where do lessons come from?
The Genius track goes straight to the education partner's student signup, where AI-guided learning is built for students. The companion device can award points for staying on task.
