Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend recording about an hour at a time during key moments (mornings, bedtime, meals). Albinka needs to hear both the joyful times and challenging times to understand your child's patterns.

Yes! We have apps for both iPhone and Android.

Albinka listens through your phone while you're with your child, detecting challenging moments and sending you instant coaching tips. It learns your child's unique patterns and what actually works for your family. Don't worry about the battery - it's optimized to use minimal power during background recording.

You'll get gentle notifications on your phone with specific suggestions like "Try saying: 'I see you're upset. Let's take 3 breaths.'" We're also developing voice alerts for hands-free help.

Most families see initial insights after about 4 hours of recording - that's roughly one hour a day with your child over 4 days. Real behavior changes typically start within 2 weeks.

Albinka works best for children ages 2 to 8 years old - those crucial early years when behaviors are forming.

Yes, but you'll need to use the same email login so Albinka can learn from both parents' interactions and give consistent guidance.

Your recordings are protected with bank-level encryption(AES-256) from your phone to our servers. We use the same security standards as financial institutions and healthcare providers. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest, meaning your family conversations are unreadable to anyone, even in the unlikely event of a breach.

Be honest and age-appropriate: "This helps Mommy/Daddy learn better ways to help when you're upset" or "It's like a helper that teaches me to be a better parent." Most kids forget about it quickly.

Just tap the pause button in the app anytime. You're always in control.

They're permanently erased from all our systems. Once deleted, they're gone forever - we cannot recover them even if you ask us to.

To ensure the guidance you receive is safe and effective, Albinka’s AI is supported by trained child development professionals who review select recordings during our early launch phase. These professionals are bound by strict confidentiality and help verify that the advice aligns with best practices. This expert review process is temporary as we fine-tune the system, completely optional (you can opt out anytime in Settings), and designed with your family’s privacy in mind. We're transparent about this because your child’s safety and well-being are our top priority. As the AI improves, this process will become fully automated—without compromising on quality.

Albinka automatically pauses recording during phone callsfor your privacy.

Your specific conversations stay private. We only use anonymous patterns (like "whispers work better than yelling") to improve the app for everyone.

Albinka is still learning your family's patterns. Make sure you're recording during both calm and challenging times, and that background noise is minimal. It gets better the more you use it.
