Every child deserves a safe internet.
Polycreek is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit using AI-driven technology to detect abusive content, proactively prevent harm, and empower those who care for children to act.
Our Mission
Polycreek is committed to safeguarding children online. We believe every child deserves a safe digital environment free from abuse, exploitation, or harassment.
We build AI systems that detect abusive content, proactively prevent harm, and support parents, platforms, and authorities with the tools they need to act. Our focus sits at the intersection of three realities that too often get handled separately: the scale of online harm, the speed at which it evolves, and the safeguards children deserve while we respond.
Our flagship platform, Aletheia, applies that mission operationally, detecting grooming and exploitation patterns in real time and getting validated cases to NCMEC within 24 hours.
The Problem We're Solving
Online child exploitation has reached an unprecedented scale, and existing detection systems can't keep pace. Hash-matching catches known illegal images but misses conversational abuse. Manual review is accurate but can't handle millions of messages per day. Grooming unfolds slowly, through trust-building and manipulation, leaving no media artifact until it's too late.
Our Programs
Polycreek operates two complementary programs, listed publicly on Candid. One advances the research that makes better detection possible. The other gets that research into the hands of the organizations, platforms, and authorities who need it.
Child Safety AI Research & Development
Research, development, and continuous improvement of technologies designed to detect and prevent online child exploitation. We advance detection models, improve accuracy, reduce false positives, and build strong ethical and privacy safeguards into every layer.
Online Child Protection Technology Initiative
Development and deployment of technology to detect and prevent online child exploitation, including grooming and the distribution of harmful content. Faster identification, timely escalation to NCMEC and law enforcement, and resources for organizations building safer digital environments.
