We’re building HeyCricket™, a new exploration app that helps kids go deeper into the stories, ideas, and topics they love.

Curious about ocean animals, space, poetry, or any other topic? HeyCricket™ helps kids follow any curiosity spark by answering their questions with related Cricket stories, articles, and videos.

Built around Cricket’s trusted library and age-appropriate editorial standards, HeyCricket™ makes exploration more guided and meaningful. CricketSafe™ AI helps make that possible, offering a safer alternative to open web search or general AI tools.

As we prepare to introduce HeyCricket™ more widely, we want real families to tell us what works, what does not, and what kids enjoy about it.

If you have a 9-11-year-old, would you join our beta this summer?

Here is what is involved:

  • Answer a few quick questions.
  • If selected, receive access to the beta from any device.
  • Have your child try HeyCricket™ at home beginning in late July. The beta is expected to run for approximately 6-8 weeks.
  • Share feedback through a brief check-in during the beta and a final survey.

On the sign-up form, you’ll also have the option to indicate whether you’d be interested in participating in a short live video feedback session with our team.

The first 15 families who complete a live feedback session will receive a $50 Amazon gift card.

Thanks for helping us build something thoughtful for curious kids.
