All AI content is generated internally by FableFox based on anonymous age range and preference selections. You do not directly interact with or prompt these AI systems.

Built-in AI Safety Systems

Our AI providers implement comprehensive built-in safety protections:

  • OpenAI Safety Features - Advanced GPT-4.1 moderation model with multimodal detection, automatic blocking of CSAM and child endangerment content, and partnerships with child safety organizations like Thorn
  • Google AI Safety Features - Non-configurable safety filters that automatically block harmful content, child safety protections that cannot be disabled, and comprehensive multimodal content analysis
  • Child Protection Priority - Both providers explicitly prohibit targeting users under 13 and implement enhanced protections for children's content
  • Automatic Filtering - All content passes through these built-in safety systems before any additional processing

Content Generation Process

When you request a story, our system:

  • Uses the selected age range to determine appropriate reading level and content complexity
  • Processes requests through built-in AI safety systems before content generation
  • Creates age-appropriate stories, characters, illustrations, and voice narrations
  • Applies additional safety filtering through our multi-tier moderation system
  • Delivers content only after passing all built-in and custom safety checks
