👋 Hello, parents

Your child will build something real.

Dropstakx turns screen time into building time. Kids aged 8–16 describe an idea, AI builds it in seconds, and they publish a real app the whole world can use.

What they create

Not just coding — making things that matter

Every app your child builds is a real, shareable web app — not a tutorial exercise, not a sandboxed demo. Real. Published. Theirs.

🎮

Games their friends can play

Snake games, trivia challenges, reaction-speed tests — all with real rules, scores, and shareable links. Their friends play on any phone, no downloads.

🧠

Quizzes for school subjects

Geography quiz for class? Science revision flashcards? They build it themselves, share it with classmates, and actually learn while doing it.

⏱️

Tools they actually use

Study timers, habit trackers, chore lists. When a kid builds their own tool, they use it — because it was their idea from the start.

🌍

Projects for real audiences

A camping trip planner for the family holiday. A birthday countdown for a friend. A school project that's a website, not a slide deck.

The skills that transfer to real life

Dropstakx isn't about writing code. It's about the thinking behind it.

How it works

From idea to live app in minutes

Here's exactly what happens when your child uses Dropstakx.

01
💬

They describe it

Your child types (or speaks) what they want to build. "A neon snake game." "A quiz about space for my little sister." "A study timer with a rocket animation." The AI asks follow-up questions if needed.

02

AI builds it — in about 10 seconds

The app is generated as a complete, working HTML file with all the CSS and JavaScript inline. Your child sees a live preview immediately. Nothing to install, nothing to wait for.

03
✏️

They refine it with chat

Your child types what they want to change: "Make the buttons bigger", "Add a timer that counts down", "Change the background to space". Each message updates the app instantly.

04
🚀

They publish ("drop") it

When they're happy, they tap "Drop it" and choose a URL. Their app goes live at something like mygame.dropstakx.com. They share it. Other kids play it. The play count goes up.

Built for safety

We've thought hard about this.

Safety isn't a checkbox on our roadmap. It's a design principle that shaped every decision we made. Here's how.

🚫

No messaging. At all.

There is no way for children to message each other on Dropstakx. No chat. No comments. No DMs. No group channels. We deliberately chose not to build these features. Kids interact only through apps — playing them, rating them with stars, and remixing them. That's it.

👁️

You can see everything

Your parent dashboard shows every app your child has created and published. You can hide or unpublish any app instantly — no reason needed.

🔐

Parent email verification

For children under 13, we collect a parent or guardian's email address and send a verification link. The account is not activated until a parent confirms. This is required — we won't bypass it.

🤖

Content safety scanning

Every app goes through an AI safety scan before it's published. We check for inappropriate language, external URLs, data collection, and third-party scripts. Clean apps publish instantly. Anything flagged goes to a review queue.

🛡️

No ads. No tracking. No selling data.

Dropstakx has no advertising. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking pixels. We collect only what's needed to run the platform. Your child's data is not for sale — ever.

📜

COPPA compliant. Designed for it.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires that services aimed at children under 13 obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information. We do this from day one — it's not an afterthought.

You can request deletion of your child's account and all associated data at any time by emailing build@dropstakx.com. We respond within 48 hours.

The AI

What the AI does — and what it doesn't

We use Anthropic's Claude — one of the safest, most capable AI models available. Here's what you should know.

✓ What it does
  • Generates complete, working web apps from a text description
  • Understands follow-up refinements: "make the timer go faster", "add a high score"
  • Adapts its language to your child's age group — simpler for younger builders
  • Declines to build anything inappropriate and suggests alternatives
  • Explains what it's doing in plain English when asked
✕ What it doesn't do
  • Access the internet or run searches
  • Store, collect, or share any of your child's data
  • Generate apps that can call external APIs or collect form data
  • Build anything with adult content, violence, or inappropriate language
  • Communicate directly with your child about anything outside of building

The AI character is called Stakx. It acts like a creative collaborator — enthusiastic, encouraging, focused on building. It does not engage in open-ended chat, does not discuss topics unrelated to building, and is instructed to redirect any inappropriate requests.
