01What age range is Ziji for?+
Ziji is built for parents of children aged 18 months to 18 years. The framework adapts to where your child is developmentally, the toddler who can't yet name what they're feeling, the seven-year-old navigating their first real friendships, the twelve-year-old who's gone quiet, the teenager pulling away. The guidance is shaped around the child you actually have, not a stage on a chart.
02What can I use Ziji for?+
Ziji helps you understand what's actually driving the behaviour, not just how to stop it in the moment, so you can address it from the root, one small step at a time. Less generic advice, more thoughtful friend who actually understands child development.
03How is Ziji different from ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT gives general answers and forgets the moment you close it. Ziji runs on a clinical framework designed by Akshita Dutta, our founder and clinical lead, not parenting content scraped from the internet. It remembers your child across conversations, comes with a monthly check-in with a real child development expert, and keeps a human in the loop. It's not a chatbot with tips; it's personal, private, and grounded in child development science.
04What does "private" actually mean?+
What you tell Ziji stays between you and Ziji. Conversations are encrypted. We never sell your data, show ads, or share what you share with us. Your account is yours alone, not visible to anyone else, not used to train external models.
05Is Ziji a replacement for therapy?+
No. Ziji is the conversation between sessions, and a monthly check-in with a child development expert. If something needs deeper clinical attention, Ziji will say so. It complements professional support, it doesn't replace it.
06Who is the child development expert in the monthly check-in?+
The check-in is a 30-minute monthly session with a child development expert trained and supervised by Akshita Dutta, our founder and clinical lead. Each expert follows the clinical framework Akshita has developed over 15+ years of one-to-one work with children, adolescents, and parents. Akshita reviews the team's work and the framework that guides every session, so the support you receive is consistent with her clinical standard.
07What will Ziji cost?+
Ziji will be priced between ₹499 and ₹2,000 per month, depending on the plan you choose. The monthly check-in with a child development expert is included. We're finalising plan details now and will share them with everyone on the waitlist before we open access, so you'll know exactly what you're signing up for, well before you need to decide.
08How do you make sure the AI is safe?+
Ziji isn't built on generic parenting content scraped from the internet. It runs on a clinical framework designed by Akshita Dutta, our founder and clinical lead, and is reviewed by the child development experts who take your monthly check-ins. The AI is built to recognise when something is beyond its scope, a clinical concern, a safeguarding flag, a moment that needs a person, and to say so clearly when it does. There is always a human in the loop. Ziji complements professional support; it never replaces it.
09What if I'm in a crisis moment?+
If something feels urgent, for you or for your child, Ziji is built to recognise it and surface immediate human and professional resources straight away. Ziji is not a substitute for emergency mental health care or a crisis helpline, and it will tell you clearly when the moment needs more than an app. If you're ever unsure, reach out to a professional or a crisis line in your area first.
