Cornerstone

Your family’s own AI. Grounded at home.

Your kids are already talking to AI — in someone else’s cloud, with no rules you set and no data you keep. Cornerstone gives a family what companies give themselves: a governed AI you can see into, set the rules for, and truly own — from the wall in your kitchen.

Enterprises solved this. Families got nothing.

When a company gives its people AI, it doesn’t just hand out a login — it runs everything through a governed layer: visibility, policy, data control. Meanwhile a nine-year-old opens an app and their conversations, and everything the model learns about them, live on a server you’ll never see, under rules you didn’t write. The tool families need most is the one nobody built — because the big platforms’ whole model is your data in their cloud. Cornerstone is that missing layer, pointed at the household.

Visibility, not surveillance

You can see that the AI is being used and any real concern it flags — age-graded, so a 7-year-old is fully transparent and a 15-year-old keeps a growing zone of privacy. Not a transcript feed.

Policy you set

What the AI will and won’t do, per child, by age. The rules live with the parent, configured from the Family Wall you already have — not buried in some vendor’s settings.

Data you actually own

On the home tier, your family’s AI and its memory run on hardware in your house — the conversations physically never leave. The honest version of “you own your data,” which no big platform can offer.

Loving oversight — never surveillance.

“Parents can read their kid’s chats” is right for a little one and corrosive for a teenager. So Cornerstone’s visibility decays toward autonomy as a child grows: the AI flags a genuine safety concern — self-harm, grooming, real danger — rather than handing you a transcript, and your child can always see what’s shared and with whom. Get this wrong and it’s a creepy product families uninstall. Get it right and it’s the one they trust with the thing they trust least.

Two ways in

Software · sooner

The console on your Family Wall

The governed family AI + parent console, running on the Family Wall you may already have. Visibility, per-child policy, and safety-flagging — with your family’s data held in an encrypted space you control.

Home box · privacy-max

Your AI, physically at home

A small piece of hardware in your house runs the family’s AI and holds its memory, powered by fast, on-device deterministic intelligence — so most of what your family says never leaves the building. The honest version of owning your data.

Help us build the one part that has to be right.

Cornerstone isn’t built yet — deliberately. A product about your family’s trust and your kids’ safety is one we’re validating with families before we ship a line of it. Join the waitlist, tell us whether the software or the home box is what you’d want, and we’ll bring it to you first. (Kids’ data + AI is a serious surface; we’re building the age-graded design and safety review in from the start, with counsel, before anything launches.)

What draws you? (this genuinely shapes what we build first)

No spam, no selling your address. We email you when there’s something real to try.
