Your child is already asking AI about history. This is the version you can check yourself.

Because this one shows its work. Most children are already using AI, and only about a third of them know it cannot reliably tell fact from invention. A Humy simulation searches real documents before it answers, and when it quotes something, the words are copied straight out of the source rather than typed by the AI. Your child clicks the quote and the document opens at that page. You do not have to decide whether to trust it. You can check it, in one click, without knowing the period yourself.

Yes, and we would rather you hear it here. In the benchmark we published, giving the AI a set of real documents cut made-up detail from 22.6% of answers to 12.2%. That is a real improvement and it is not zero: about one answer in eight still got a date or a document reference wrong in the text around the quote. The quote itself is a different matter, because it is copied out of the document and thrown away if it does not match letter for letter. Read the quotes as evidence and the sentences around them as a well-read guide who can still slip.

No, and we are careful about the difference. Conversations are scoped to a subject and a set of documents: a person, a moment, or a place, there to be questioned about what happened and what was written, not to be a friend. There is no persistent relationship framing and no emotional-support use case. Before the first message your child sees a short screen naming the AI models behind it, how many sources it draws on, and who made it.

$129 per year, or $14.99 per month. There is a free tier with 20 messages a month if you want to try it before paying anything. You can cancel whenever you like and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.

Conversations started from your own account are logged and reviewable there, and full transcripts with export are part of the paid plan. To be straight about the limits: Humy does not currently offer a separate parent account with child profiles attached to it. If you want oversight, create the simulation from your account and share that link with your child rather than having them start their own.

No. You share a link or a QR code and they open it. No account, no email, no password. That is how the school version works too, which is why a child can be in a conversation within seconds of you deciding to try it.

You set the reading level, from primary school upward, so the same subject can meet a ten-year-old and a sixth-former differently. Humy is built for schoolwork and curiosity rather than for young children unsupervised, and it covers the periods a school syllabus actually sets alongside a much wider library.

Yes, and it is the thing parents tell us they did not expect. Attach up to 50 sources, up to 1,000 pages each: a great-grandfather's service record, a bundle of emigrant letters in a hand nobody left can read, a parish register, a cassette of someone describing the year they arrived. Scans a computer cannot already read are typed out page by page, historical handwriting included, so your child can question the person who wrote them. Your sources stay private to your account unless you choose to share them.

More than 50, in text and in live voice, and voice calls run up to 10 minutes. The answers stay anchored to the same documents whichever language the question is asked in, which matters in a household that does not do homework in English.

No. Conversations are never used to train AI models, by us or by the model providers we run on. Data is stored in the United States or Sweden on Microsoft Azure. The same terms cover the schools we work with, where we hold signed student data privacy agreements in 16 US states, aligned with FERPA and COPPA.
