Ask HN: Is there a Wikipedia or LLM wrapper for kids (with parental controls)?

I would like to give my 11yo access to wikipedia and an LLM for the purpose of self directed learning. Is there a wrapper for these with parental controls? Ideally this would be a webapp or iOS app.

    At the AI Expo held in Korea, I saw a platform called https://www.soak.so/en/main (I have no conflicts of interest) which seemed like such a safe and beneficial application that I thought if I had a child, I would want to educate them with it. I strongly recommend it.

    You can prob build something pretty simply using this (it sits between user and the llm and intercepts unwanted content):

    This can be achieved with a thorough system prompt. Would take no time to make if you are willing to pay a freelancer.

    How wiki could be the threat here?

    What the hell are you trying to shelter your kid from so badly?
