A safe place to grow.
Mercy Technologies built Philix because children deserve better than what the internet was giving them. We envision a world where a child's first experience with AI is one of warmth, wonder, and safety.
Every design decision, every character, and every word is filtered through one question: is this right for a child ages 4 to 12?
Our company is family-founded and family-run. The question we started with was not "how fast can we scale," but "would we let our own daughters use this?" That question still governs every release.
Built for them.
We do not sensationalize AI. We humanize it gently, through characters children can love.
- Safe by design. COPPA compliance, parental controls, and child-safe architecture are the foundation, not features.
- Joyful by nature. Every interaction should leave a child smiling.
- Trust earned. We earn the trust of parents first. Children follow.
- Warmth over hype. We never compromise safety for speed.
Meet Philix.
Philix is the first platform where children interact with safe, named AI companion characters in video-first experiences. Each companion is a Philix. Every moment on the platform is designed for ages 4 to 12.
A safe companion your child will love, built on technology you can trust.
- Every character is age-appropriate.
- Every conversation is monitored.
- Every setting is yours to control.
- Every response is filtered before it reaches your child.
Safety is the foundation.
COPPA compliance, parental controls, and child-safe architecture are not features. They are the foundation of everything Mercy Technologies builds.
COPPA Compliant
Full compliance with federal child privacy laws. Verified parental consent is required for every account, before any data is collected.
Parent Controlled
Manage access, set daily limits, and receive instant notifications for any interaction that needs your review.
Real-Time Filtering
Every response is analyzed for age-appropriateness before it reaches your child's screen. No exceptions.
Founder-led. Family-founded.
Mercy Technologies is led by a founder who built this company for the children in his own life, with a mission to make a child's first experience with AI a safe one.

Building a category. Earning trust at scale.
Mercy Technologies is building Philix, the first trademarked category of safe AI companions for children. The market is every parent with a child under 13. The moat is trust, compliance, and a brand that children ask for by name.
We are currently raising a pre-seed round to fund our launch, our team, and our first 18 months of operation. Accredited investor materials are available upon request.
