The belief

Every child is born with a working theory of the universe.

Our job isn’t to correct it — it’s to keep it alive long enough to become something beautiful.

A dad first, a builder second. Twenty years shipping software that couldn’t afford to go down, an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Hertfordshire, and a daughter whose question started all of this.

The origin

One evening. One company.

The moment

“Baba, why…?”

One evening, Tarek’s daughter asked a question he didn’t have the time — or the right words — to answer. He searched for a tool that could explain things the way a patient tutor would: safe, kid-friendly, actually engaging. It didn’t exist. So he built it.

That evening became getXplain.ai — a calm, kid-safe place where every why? gets the answer it deserves.

What we stand for

Principles we won’t trade away.

Not features. Not roadmap items. The things we’d rather delay a release than compromise on.

Safe by default

No ads. No data games. No creepy tracking. If we wouldn’t hand the screen to our own kids, it doesn’t ship.

Curiosity is the point

We don’t chase streaks or dopamine loops. We chase the moment a child says “wait, tell me more.”

Clarity over cleverness

A good answer is one a child repeats to their friend. Plain words, warm voice, real understanding.

Parents first, always

Trust is earned in quiet, boring decisions. We make them one at a time — and never take that trust for granted.

Every child, not just some

Languages, cultures, abilities, neighbourhoods. Curiosity is universal — our product has to be too.

Magic, engineered

Wonder isn’t an accident. It’s the result of obsessive craft — and we sweat it so kids don’t have to.

Work with us

If this resonates, let’s talk.

Parents with feedback. Educators with ideas. Builders who want to join. Investors who believe kid-safe AI is a generational bet. We read everything — and reply to most of it.
