Advanced AI Safety Checks

Integrates with Google's Gemini AI to analyze snapshots of web content against your rules and feedback history. It's also designed to detect screen sharing and attempts to hide content.

Works with Screen Time

WebbyGuard complements Apple's Screen Time. While Screen Time provides robust domain-level and explicit content filtering, WebbyGuard adds a crucial layer by analyzing the actual content of allowed pages.

How WebbyGuard Protects Your Child

  1. Initial Setup: On the WebbyGuard app, parents configure a homepage, set a content specification for the AI, enter a Gemini API Key, and create a mandatory PIN.
  2. Secure Pairing: The child's app generates a temporary QR code. The parent scans this code with the WebbyGuard Parent app to establish a secure, private link via CloudKit.
  3. Browse & Analyze: WebbyGuard analyzes a snapshot of each webpage with the Gemini AI immediately after it loads and at customizable periodic intervals. The analysis considers your rules and past feedback.
  4. Block & Alert: If content is deemed unsafe, an overlay blocks the page and redirects the child to the homepage. Simultaneously, an alert with a snapshot and details is sent to the parent's app.
  5. Review & Tune: The parent reviews the alert in WebbyGuard Parent and can provide "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" feedback to improve and personalize future AI analysis.
