Bosco Overview
Bosco aims to bridge the gap between parents and their childrens online activity. Bosco monitors childrens digital and real-life activities and provides parents with actionable insights in real time, empowering them with the information they need to keep their children safe. The company uses artificial intelligence to build a unique behavioral profile for each child and to detect any deviations that could indicate a threat. Boscos novel approach enables it to predict threats instead of just reporting them. Bosco is designed to respect childrens privacy, helping parents keep up with their children without revealing their personal data. In addition, it provides parents with actionable insights instead of raw data and is the only parental control app that provides parents with a comprehensive mood analysis of their child.
