Room to explore.
Safe by design.
Pip’s Lab is made for building, not browsing or open-ended chat. The guardrails are part of the product, so there is nothing for you to configure.
There is no chat box
Pip only helps build things. Ask it for an essay, a homework answer or last night's score and it offers to build something instead — every time.
Everything they build can stop
No program that runs forever, no loop that will not quit. A child never ends up thinking they broke the computer.
Their code cannot reach the internet
Every way of getting online is removed before their program starts — not blocked by a setting, removed. There is nothing to turn back on.
Nobody can contact your child
No messages, no comments, no profiles, no feed. The only inbox in Pip’s Lab carries notes between a child's own builds.
The safest setting is the one nobody can forget.
A control panel only protects a child whose parent found it and got it right. So we did not build one.
Their program cannot reach the internet because the ways of reaching it are not there. Nobody can message your child because there is no messaging. You cannot get these wrong — there is nothing to set.
