Taley is not a product of a large corporation. It is a passion project – born from an idea among friends who believe that technology can help children discover the world.
💡 In a Nutshell
- Founded 2024 in Stuttgart by neighbors and friends
- Child safety and privacy come first
- Developed in dialogue with parents and educators
How It All Began
It was a normal evening in Summer 2024. Adam was sitting with friends when the conversation turned to children's apps. Why, they wondered, are there so many pointless games – but hardly any apps that actually teach children something?
The idea was born: What if there were stories that adapt to every child? Stories that answer questions, alleviate fears, and playfully convey knowledge – completely without screen stress?
"We wanted to create something we would have loved as children ourselves – and that parents can use with a clear conscience."
A Team of Neighbors and Friends
We are not startup veterans from Silicon Valley. We are neighbors, students, and tech enthusiasts from Stuttgart. None of us have children of our own yet – but all of us have nieces, nephews, or little siblings whom we love.
Not an anonymous startup, but people you can get to know.
A diverse team with fresh ideas and solid expertise.
We are building Taley not for investors, but for families.
Why Audio Stories?
With all the screen time children are exposed to today, we deliberately wanted to take a different path. Audio stories promote imagination without tiring the eyes.
📱 Fact: German children spend an average of over 2 hours daily in front of screens.
— KIM Study 2022, Media Education Research Association SouthwestAudio stories can be listened to while falling asleep, on long car rides, or simply to relax – without parents having to worry.
"We believe: The best stories are created in the mind – not on the screen."
Safety First
When we designed Taley, one thing was clear from the start: Child safety is non-negotiable. That's why we established strict principles:
🛡️ Our Safety Principles
- 🔒 No AI training with children's voices – Never, under no circumstances
- 🛡️ Triple content filters – Every story is checked
- 👨👩👧 Full parental control – Topics, times, settings
- 🇪🇺 Data stays in the EU – GDPR compliant on German servers
Getting Better Together
Taley is not a finished product – it is a journey. And we want you to be part of it. Your ideas, your feedback, and your criticism help us make Taley a little better every day.
Because in the end, it's not about us. It's about children growing with stories – and parents feeling good about it.
