For curious kids 3–9 · You read every word they hear

Safe AI voice buddies with spark.

Seventeen animated characters, each with its own voice, its own quirks and its own favourite things to talk about: space and stars, brave rescue dogs, the oldest creatures on Earth. Your child picks one and simply talks out loud, and every word is checked before they hear it. Stories, songs, drawing, fun facts and phonics.

Free to download, with free voice chats, stories and songs to try. iPhone, iPad & Android.
Our number one goal

Safety isn't a feature we added.
It's the whole reason WimziPal exists.

Keeping children safe is the first thing we build and the last thing we check. The buddy lives behind a wall with no open internet, no strangers and no ads, so nothing wanders in from outside, and every reply is checked before your child ever hears it. And if your child tells the buddy something serious, it can be flagged and emailed to you, and the conversation is waiting in your parent area to read for yourself.

Meet the buddies

17 characters. 17 voices. 17 personalities.

Professor Hoo does space and science. Bobo does brave rescue dogs. Tiko knows the oldest creatures on Earth. Every buddy has its own voice, its own quirks and its own favourite subjects, and none of them are locked. Every buddy is included on every plan, the free one too.

How it works

Three taps to a brand-new friend

No reading required. No tiny buttons. Just pick, tap, and talk.

1

Pick a buddy

Choose from 17 animated characters: a calm turtle, a goofy dog, a wise owl, and more.

2

Tap & talk

Your child speaks out loud and the buddy listens, then answers in its own warm voice.

3

Explore together

Build a story, sing a song, play a letter game, colour a picture, or choose a whole new world for your buddy to explore.

What kids love

So much more than a chatbot

Active, imaginative play your child talks back to, instead of another passive screen. It is deliberately narrower than a general assistant: here is why a ChatGPT-style chatbot is the wrong shape for a young child.

Voice chat

Just tap and talk. The buddy listens and replies out loud in real time, so nothing has to be read. There is a keyboard too, for a child who would rather type.

Sing a song

Every buddy knows fun tunes and will sing along in its own unique character voice.

Build a story

Your child picks the hero, the place and the quest, and the buddy spins it into a personalised adventure, read aloud. Perfect for wind-down and bedtime.

Letters & phonics

A playful letter-sound game. The buddy says a sound and your child names something that starts with it. Early reading, disguised as play.

Colour & create

The buddy draws a picture, your child colours it in on their own canvas, and saves the masterpiece to the photo album.

Fun facts

Fascinating tidbits about animals, space, and the world, from a patient tutor that never gets tired.

Show & tell

Point the camera at a toy or a drawing and the buddy describes what it sees, or plays a game of I Spy together.

Discover together

Each buddy has its own world of things to explore, from space and the ocean to dinosaurs and kindness, with playful "things to try" to unlock.

Choose your world

Kids pick where their buddy hangs out, from a forest to under the sea to outer space, and the whole scene changes around them.

Safe by design

Screen time you can feel good about

Built from the ground up for young children, with parents in full control and nothing hidden. Read whether WimziPal is safe for your child, see what we check, and when, or the parent’s guide to choosing a safe AI app for kids.

You read every word

Review the full conversation history of everything your child heard and said.

Captions for every line

Every word the buddy speaks can appear on screen as a caption. That helps early readers, quieter play, and any child who follows along best with words on screen.

Screen-time limits

Set a daily cap and allowed hours. No infinite scroll, no autoplay. It simply stops.

PIN + Face ID gate

Every setting sits behind a parental PIN, so little hands can't wander where they shouldn't.

It points back to you

For anything heavy, the buddy steers your child to a trusted grown-up rather than answering. It never pretends to be a parent. And when a child tells it something serious, it points them to a grown-up they trust, and that conversation is flagged for you.

Your child's voice is never stored

Recordings are processed on the fly and instantly discarded, never saved to a server.

KORA: an independent safety benchmark We try to break our own buddy, on purpose.

Hundreds of deliberately tricky conversations, run against the live buddy your child talks to, not a lab copy. We re-run it periodically, and always before a change to the safety layer. Last full run: 27 August 2026.

Our story

Why I built WimziPal

The founder's two young nephews side by side on a couch, one colouring a puppy in WimziPal on an iPad, the other playing WimziPal on a phone

“I'm not a mum, I'm the cool aunt. I'd watch my nephews take in hours of videos and come away with nothing they could tell me about. Absorbing isn't learning. Learning is answering back. So I built something that asks them things instead of just playing at them.”

Honest answers

The questions every parent asks

Is it actually safe for young kids?
Yes. Every response runs through multiple safety layers to stay age-appropriate, positive, and encouraging. The AI never encourages secrecy, redirects sensitive topics to “ask a trusted grown-up,” and avoids emotional-dependency patterns. You can read the full transcript of everything your child heard.
Won't this just replace me as a parent?
It's built to do the opposite. The buddy never pretends to be a parent. For anything that matters, it gently points your child back to you. Think of it as the patient friend that answers the 400 “why” questions, not a substitute for connection.
Is it just more screen time?
It's active, not passive. Your child has to talk, ask, imagine, and answer back. There's no infinite scroll and no autoplay-next. You set a daily limit, and when it's reached, the app simply stops.
Are you harvesting my child's data?
No. There are no ads and no data sold to third parties. Voice recordings are processed and immediately discarded, never stored. Only a parent email, the child's first name and their date of birth are needed to sign up. The date is what keeps replies age-appropriate, and everything is removed from the app right away and fully purged within 30 days if you delete your account. We're COPPA compliant.
Do I have to pay to try it?
No. WimziPal is free to download, and every one of the 17 buddies is included, with over 130 free activities to try: 40 voice chats, 12 stories, 12 photo chats, 12 discoveries, 6 ABC rounds, plus songs and fun facts for every buddy, and unlimited colouring and drawing. Those free tries do not refill, so a subscription is how it keeps going: Playtime ($5.99/mo) gives about 171 voice chats a month, or 74 stories, or 70 songs; Premium ($7.99/mo or $49.99/yr) gives about 228 voice chats a month, or 99 stories, or 94 songs. It is one monthly allowance spent however your child likes, and Premium starts with a 7-day free trial.
What ages is it for?
WimziPal is designed for children aged 3–9, rated 4+. It's built for pre-readers and early readers: simple voice chat, gentle stories, songs, and fun facts, all kept age-appropriate with parents in control. We have a guide for every year from 3 to 9.
