Safety on Makie
Makie is built for children aged 7 to 15 and managed by their parents. This page describes the safeguards the product actually has, and what they cannot promise.
Every build is checked
What a child types is checked before Makie builds anything. Each new game and each change must then pass compilation, content safety checks, server rule validation and a check that existing saved progress still works. Makie may automatically repair or block unsafe or broken output.
Games run in a sandbox
Games run in a sandbox, separate from the household account. A published game can only contact the online services listed when it is published, and the maker sees that list first.
Public games get an extra review
Games are private until a maker publishes them. Before a game is listed in Explore, its name, the text players see and its code go through an additional automated AI review for scams and inappropriate content. A published link always points to a fixed version of the game.
No ads, no chat with strangers
Makie has no advertising and no chat with strangers. Players can only leave one positive reaction: Fun, Clever or Beautiful. Public games and scoreboards show a maker username, never a child's email or Askie profile name. Example makers shown in the studio are fictional and are labelled that way.
Anyone can report a game
Every public game can be reported for unsafe content, personal information, bullying or hate, scary or graphic content, or being broken. A report can be sent without signing in. The Makie team reviews the exact version that was played, and a game may be restricted or removed.
What automation cannot promise
AI output can be surprising, incomplete or wrong, and automated review cannot guarantee that every problem is found. That is why reporting is always available, and why an adult owns and supervises every household.
Parents stay in charge
An adult creates the household, adds each child and keeps the account controls. Parents can review projects, stop sharing, remove a game from Explore and delete games, a child or Makie itself. The Parent guide explains each control and the Privacy Notice explains the data.
