ParentBrief Documentation
ParentBrief is an advanced content screening platform designed to help parents make informed decisions about what their children watch, read, and play. We analyze books, movies, video games, and YouTube videos for violence, language, mature themes, and age-appropriateness.
🎯 Our Mission
We believe every parent deserves to know what their children are consuming. In today's digital age, content is everywhere - and it's impossible to preview everything yourself.
ParentBrief was founded by parents who were tired of being surprised by inappropriate content. We built the tool we wished existed - an instant way to check if a book, movie, or game is right for your family.

💡 Tips for Parents
Use ParentBrief before your child watches or reads something, not after they've already seen it.
Age ratings are guidelines. You know your child best - some may be ready for content earlier or later.
Our reports include conversation starters. Use them to talk with your kids about what they're consuming.
Co-viewing lets you explain context and answer questions in real-time.
