As a parent, the idea of delegating my child’s attention to a third party, VC funded company seeking profit is extremely distasteful.
I don’t want my child to become accustomed to living with their activities being monitored (and presumably used to build a profile which outlines their preferences) in exchange for succeeding in their chores.
The dystopian in me sees this is a child’s gateway to joining the depersonalised workforce, trained that validation comes from completing their tasks and seeking the hollow reassurance of a gamified system.
I’m sure you have worked hard on your product but this is a horrifying end state.
