They create their own Wi-Fi routers.

So the truth is, is that your kids are always going to win.

What I saw in the market is that, I mean, we've seen a lot of open AI's decisions lately, and it's a little bit scary.

I know a lot of kids that have also lost their lives because of how AI impacted them and the way that social media impacted me.

And what I knew is that parents didn't have a doctor-backed compass for the digital world.

What do you do if your kid is being groomed?

But also,

they didn't have a safe place to go.

So the reason why I wanted to create an AI-based tool was one, because I had clinical research that I could build it with.

Two, I could make it HIPAA compliant so people could trust us with their family secrets.

But third, because I wanted to build a tool that could take the data from a child's device

take those insights and make early predictions for parents of things that could go wrong.

Because technology shows us signals.

And if big tech is making billions of dollars and selling our children face masks, we as parents should be able to take those data, get those insights and know, hey, if Lars is moving really quickly on her device and experiencing a lot of mood issues and looking at different content, my parents, back when I was struggling, might have been able to get a notification that said, hey,

you should take Ginkgo to the parent, to the doctor's office and show them, because we think she might be dealing with anxiety or depression or ADHD.

And that is the big gap right now, is that there is such a disconnect between our children's inner worlds, the digital world and our family's world.

And I want to rewrite that story.

Just ask Ginkgo.

OK, just ask Ginkgo.

Really, our vision, after spending a decade building half the story with young people, I realized the next frontier of digital wellness is bringing it into the health care space.
