About SHARDTech
Building the future of safe, imaginative play for children.
Our mission
We're creating an offline AI play platform that puts children's privacy and safety first. Because it is offline by design, imaginative play doesn't come at the cost of a child's data.
Some principles are worth more than profit, and protecting children is one of them.

CTO & Co-Founder

Our values
Privacy first
Privacy is built into the hardware and is not traded away for business reasons.
Imaginative play
Fostering creativity and storytelling through voice-driven adventures.
Transparency
We build trust through transparency. Our architecture is designed to be independently verified, not just believed.
Our journey
The problem
Many AI toys depend on cloud services. That means children's voices and play data leave the home, and parents have little say over what happens to them.
Our solution
Adventure Core runs offline, needs no account, and puts content in parents' hands through physical shards.
