In this episode of A Vibe Above, Dawn Ranieri sits down with Rob LoCascio, founder of KID Company and former CEO of LivePerson, where he pioneered conversational AI and helped invent web chat as we know it today.
After building a company that scaled to over $550M in revenue, Rob made a powerful decision as a father. He stepped away from leading adult-focused technology to create something entirely different, an AI platform built specifically for children.
The KID device is designed to protect creativity, emotional grounding, and healthy relationships with technology. Rather than addictive scrolling or exposure to harmful content, KID was created to support families with safety-first design, parental visibility, and a new vision for how children engage with AI.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Rob’s journey to KID Company• Why current technology isn’t built for children• The emotional impact of digital overload on kids• How KID is reimagining AI for creativity and safety• What parents can expect with the device
This episode is a thoughtful look at parenting, innovation, and what it means to build technology that protects the next generation.
