Supporting difficult conversations

Knowing something is wrong is not the same as being able to tell someone.

yuli is a child-centered communication platform designed to help children navigate difficult conversations with trusted adults, and helps those adults respond with care.

Sometimes the hardest part is saying the words out loud.

A prototype today. Seeking clinical advisors before a first family pilot.

A 30-second introduction

Why we are building yuli

A short film about finding a way to begin a difficult conversation, and being met with care.

This is a concept film, not a product demonstration. yuli is still in development and is not available for family use yet.

For parents and caregivers

Knowing something is wrong is not the same as being able to tell someone.

yuli helps a child begin a difficult conversation and helps a trusted adult respond with care.

Visual description: an animated firefly leaves a jar and travels to an adult reading a book. The adult meets a child at the child’s level. Soft piano music accompanies the film; there is no spoken narration.

Play when you’re ready. Sound starts only when you play.

yuli doesn't replace the conversation.

It helps your child start it.

Three guiding pillars

Safety

Children’s wellbeing comes first.

We are taking time to build carefully and seek the right clinical guidance.

Agency

Every child deserves dignity and a voice.

That belief guides what we are building.

Connection

Human connection comes first.

Technology should support the people who care for children.

Where yuli is today

Early, careful, and seeking clinical guidance

89%

of child-facing clinicians rated the yuli concept moderately to extremely helpful, in a 2026 survey of 126 licensed clinicians.

This reflects what clinicians think of the approach. It is not proof that yuli changes outcomes for children, and we don't treat it as such.

01

A clickable prototype exists. No child has used yuli, and none will until clinical review has happened.

02

Non-provisional patent application filed.

03

Seeking clinical advisors to help shape yuli and a first pilot.
