A note from the founders

Two parents. One very specific worry.

We built Sorin for our own kids first.

Our story

Our kids started using AI before anyone asked us how we felt about it.

Nick had just founded WhitegloveAI, so AI was suddenly the family business, and our kids noticed. They asked for their own access to an AI chatbot almost immediately. We said no. Not because we are afraid of the technology, but because Nick spends his days looking at how these systems actually handle data, and Christina spends hers watching what shortcuts do to a child's learning. Neither of us thought any of it was ready for our children. That conversation happened at our dining table, and it kept happening there.

That is how it happens now. It shows up in homework, in the group chat, on a tablet in the back seat. And the first thing most of these tools do is hand a child the answer. Fast, confident, finished. No struggle, no reasoning, no idea whether the thing on the other side is safe, or what it is doing with everything your child just told it.

We came at that problem from two very different directions.

Nick has spent eighteen years on the security side of technology, starting in the Marine Corps and moving through the Department of Veterans Affairs, HSBC, Deloitte, Bank of America, and Amazon Web Services before founding WhitegloveAI. His whole career has been answering one question for banks, hospitals, and governments: can we actually trust this system with something that matters? Today he builds and governs AI for those same organizations.

Christina has spent hers in the room where learning actually happens. She is a Texas public school educator, with a bachelor's degree in human resource management from Lewis University and a master's in educational leadership in progress at Lamar University. She knows what it looks like when a child gets an answer versus when a child understands something. She knows what a kid does when the work gets hard, and what a good teacher does in that exact moment instead of rescuing them.

Sorin is what happened when those two things met at our kitchen table.

He built it the way he would build software for a bank, because that is what your child's privacy deserves. She shaped how it teaches, because a companion that skips the thinking is not helping. Neither of us would have built this alone. Neither half works without the other.

We stopped saying no the day our own kids could use it. That is the bar, and it has not moved.

The two of us

What we believe

  • Thinking beats answering.

    Sorin guides a child toward the answer with questions. Getting there is the part that matters.

  • Parents see everything.

    No hidden conversations, no surprises. You set the boundaries and you can read every word.

  • Your child is not the product.

    No ads, no data resale, no profile being built in the background.

  • Safety is engineered, not promised.

    Guardrails on every reply, and your child's real identity is never exposed to the model.

We are still parents first.

If Sorin is not something we would put in front of our own kids, it does not ship. Come see what we built.
