The Eight24 Foundation exists to ensure that no child's future is limited by where they were born, the technology their school could afford, or the support their family had access to. We make the tools of the future available to every child — right now.
"To ensure every child — regardless of geography, income, language, or circumstance — has access to the technology, human support, and learning infrastructure they need to thrive in the world they are inheriting."
"A world where a child's access to high-quality mentorship, education technology, and safeguarded AI is determined by their potential — not by their postal code, their passport, or their parents' tax bracket."
The Eight24 Foundation operates independently from Eight24 Technologies. Our research is published for public benefit. Our pilots are independently evaluated. Our data is never used for commercial purposes. We exist because some children cannot wait for the market to serve them — and because the most powerful thing a technology company can do is build the trust infrastructure that makes equity possible.
Deploying HPAF-governed learning tools in under-resourced and crisis-affected educational contexts — from conflict zones in the MENA region to rural schools in Sub-Saharan Africa — where a qualified human teacher is unavailable but a child's need to learn is not.
Ensuring that governance-first AI tools — the kind that protect children and respect their rights — are available in under-resourced schools and communities, not just premium institutions that can afford compliance-ready technology.
Because children thrive when their families are supported. We work with parents, grandparents, and caregivers to give them tools to extend their presence, understand AI safely, and maintain their authority in their children's learning environment.
Our research function exists separately from commercial interests. We conduct rigorous, independently evaluated pilots, publish peer-reviewed safeguarding research, and build the evidence base that governments, funders, and institutions need to deploy AI responsibly with children.

The Human Presence AI Framework™ (HPAF™) is an open-source conversational AI platform integrating real-time chat, Tavus video calls, and persistent localized memory. Unlike traditional stateless chatbots, HPAF™ remembers users across conversations, maintains tenant-specific memory stores, and adapts to individual and organizational contexts.
We're partnering with UNESCO, UNICEF, leading NGOs, EdTech innovators, and top university research labs. This research collaboration offers a unique opportunity to contribute to open-source AI infrastructure that combines technical depth with real-world impact.
