Like so many good things, it did not start in a big meeting room. It started with a quiet moment between friends. One of us, a child psychologist, was sharing a colorful drawing her little one had made with a friend—an AI engineer fascinated by patterns. Like any mom, she felt a burst of pride and love. But as a psychologist, she also saw hints of her child's emotional and cognitive growth. They talked about how children's drawings—the colors, the shapes—act like a secret language, telling stories about their feelings, fears, and joys. But interpreting that language takes time and skill, which not everyone has access to. The engineer saw something else: data. She wondered, "What if AI could learn to spot these patterns? Could technology, paired with psychology, help more people notice these quiet clues too?"

      The idea was not to replace the bond between a child and their caregivers or the insights of a trained professional. Instead, it was about whether AI could act as a gentle helper—a tool to nudge parents, teachers, and caregivers to notice emotional or developmental cues in children’s art. That spark of curiosity grew. Our psychologist reached out to colleagues in child development and art therapy. Our engineer brought in ethical AI experts. And that's how our team came together—a blend of heart and science.

      We built this tool because we believe in one thing: truly seeing kids is the first step to helping them thrive. It’s important to know—our AI does not diagnose. Think of it more as a thoughtful guide. It highlights possible emotional themes or developmental steps seen in a child’s art, based on sound research and expert review. We created it for the grown-ups in a child’s life—to help you notice more, understand better, and connect in meaningful ways. We’re passionate about using technology with care and compassion to support children’s happiness and growth—one drawing, one insight, one child at a time.

We’re so glad you’re here, sharing this journey with us.
