## About

Founded in 2022 and based in Washington, US, Tacita, Inc., dba BrightCanary, operates as a developer of a mobile application for parents to monitor the online activities of their children. Karl Stillner (CEO) and Steve Dossick (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In October 2022, BrightCanary raised USD 3.82 million in seed funding from Trilogy VC.

The company offers a mobile app called BrightCanary that connects to social media platforms that users can configure directly from their phones (such as YouTube and TikTok) and collects lists of content viewed. The firm uses AI to examine and combine user kids' searches, DMs, videos, and comments to evaluate whether they require a discussion about what they are consuming. After being anonymized, the lists are delivered to servers (along with no identifying information) so the AI may search for questionable content and alert the user about it.
