Responsible AI.

GPTQuest uses artificial intelligence inside short authored Quests to make storytelling feel alive. AI is one part of how each game works, alongside game design, art, music, and rules written by people. This page explains, in plain language, how we use AI, what we ask of it, and where the boundaries are.

What AI does in GPTQuest

Inside a Quest, AI helps generate dialogue, character reactions, and narrative beats based on what a player types or chooses. The story arc, characters, rules, and rewards are all designed and written by us; AI fills in the moment-to-moment storytelling so each playthrough feels different.

Some Quests also generate images and music tied to gameplay (for example, a player composing a song in the Songweaver Quest, or unlocking quest art based on choices).

What AI doesn't do

• It doesn't give advice. AI in GPTQuest is for storytelling, not for medical, legal, mental-health, financial, or safety guidance.
• It doesn't replace the teacher. Teachers remain in charge of how the platform is used in the classroom, what is assigned, and how outcomes are reviewed.
• It doesn't connect students to strangers. Multiplayer Quests are scoped to each Teacher's private Instance, so students play only with their own Teacher and the classmates that Teacher manages.
• It doesn't train on student data. We do not train AI models on your inputs, and our agreements with the third-party AI providers we use do not permit them to use submissions through their API for training their public models.

The models we use

We use trusted third-party AI providers and choose models that fit the type of content being generated. We do not train our own foundation models, and we don't use student inputs to train anyone else's.

• Text and dialogue: OpenAI (GPT family of models)
• Images: Runware (FLUX-based image models with curated styles per Quest)
• Music: Sonauto, with MusicGPT and MiniMax as backups

How we keep it safe

Generative AI is powerful but imperfect. We rely on several layers, not just one, to keep gameplay age-appropriate:

• Authored Quests, not open chat. Every Quest has a defined goal, scenario, and rules. Players don't freely converse with an AI; they advance through a story.
• Custom guardrails per Quest. Each Quest's instructions tell the AI what it can and can't do, including how to handle off-topic or adversarial inputs.
• Provider-side filters. The AI providers we use apply their own content filters before responses reach a Quest.
• Server-side rules. Rewards, progress, and game state are validated by our own code, not granted by the AI.
• Reporting built into the app. Anyone can report a problem from inside the platform, and we review every report.

When AI gets it wrong

Even with these layers, AI can occasionally produce something inaccurate, off-topic, or simply odd. When that happens, we want to hear about it. Reports go to our team, and we prioritize fixes for anything reproducible. Most issues come down to tightening a Quest's instructions, updating a filter, or adjusting which model we use for a particular case.

If you see AI output in GPTQuest that concerns you, please report it through the in-app reporting feature or via our Contact Uspage (select "Report" from the dropdown).

What we ask of teachers and parents

AI is a creative tool, not an authority. We design our Quests carefully, but supervision still matters:

• Treat AI output the way you'd treat any imaginative storytelling, not as fact.
• If something AI says contradicts your school's policies or your family's values, talk it through with the student.
• Encourage students to report anything that feels off, just as they would report a problem in any classroom tool.

Privacy and student data

Student accounts in GPTQuest are created and managed by their Teacher, and we treat student data accordingly. Full details on what we collect, how we use it, and how COPPA and FERPA shape our practices live in our Privacy Policy.
