ChatCurfew
A parental firewall that sits between your kid and any AI chatbot, blocking unsafe responses, redacting personal info from prompts, enforcing time limits, and giving parents a weekly summary of what their child asked about.
Parents of 8–16 year-olds who let their kids use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for homework and want guardrails without banning it
- One-tap wrapper that connects ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini sessions with a content-policy layer tuned to your child's age
- PII redaction that scrubs names, addresses, and school info from kid-typed prompts before they leave the device
- Daily time budget and quiet-hours enforcement synced to the family calendar
- Parent dashboard summarizing topics asked, flagged responses, and screen time — no raw chat replay
HOL Guard launching as 'firewall for AI agents' on Product Hunt proves the market sees AI safety as a real gap — but it's pitched at enterprises. Parents, who are increasingly anxious about kids and ChatGPT, are the obvious consumer analog and have no equivalent tool today.
