The app monitors content across all leading and popular mediums and intelligently categorizes them using machine learning tools and inputs from quantitative and qualitative review teams. The app gives an age rating based on a quick text and video explainer, which breaks down the content components into aspects like educational values, positive messages, consumerism, abusive language, violence among others.

In our app, everything is allocated an age rating, whether it's an OTT series, a movie, or a smartphone game, based on a fast text and video explainer that breaks down the content components into aspects like educational values, positive messages, consumerism, abusive language, and violence, among other things. The main goal is to make it easier for parents to navigate and get to the content they want faster, as well as to allow them to initiate conversation with their children about the content, resulting in better parenting.
