Monarch AI provides a proactive, multimodal behavioral risk detection platform for K-12 schools. We analyze patterns across text, images, audio, video, and device activity to catch early warning signs of bullying, self-harm, and threats.
Legacy tools wait for students to explicitly type restricted words. By then, the harm is often already underway. The reality of modern digital behavior requires a deeper understanding of context and intent.
Monarch AI protects students during and after school hours, understanding the nuanced realities of digital interaction to catch signs early.
Detects coordinated exclusion, relational aggression, and subtle intimidation tactics across messaging and documents.
Identifies age-inappropriate conversations, isolation strategies, and requests to move to unmonitored platforms.
Understands expressions of hopelessness, ideation, and research into self-harm methods beyond isolated trigger words.
Analyzes intent across text, uploaded imagery, and activity signals to identify genuine threats versus benign contexts.
Traditional tools generate overwhelming false positives by flagging isolated words. Monarch AI processes context multimodally, providing clear signals instead of noise.
We strive to build ethical AI that is compliant with state and federal regulations. Protecting students means earning the trust of the schools and families who rely on us.
Designed to align with FERPA, COPPA, and emerging state student data privacy laws as we work toward formal compliance ahead of launch.
Every flagged signal is reviewed by trained staff before action is taken. Monarch AI supports human judgment, it never replaces it.
We collect and retain only what is necessary to detect risk, with strict access controls protecting student information at every step.
Our models are built to minimize bias and false positives, and are continuously evaluated against fairness and safety standards.
Administrators carry real responsibility for student wellbeing. We equip them with comprehensive safety insights and incident timelines, allowing for appropriate, informed intervention.
See the progression of interactions over time to understand the root cause of escalations.

Protecting children in the digital age: through an AI-powered safety solution built with purpose and designed to save lives.

Bella
Founder, Monarch AI
Some founders build for opportunity. I build because I cannot imagine not doing it.
I spent over 15 years working across some of the most competitive tech ecosystems in the United States and Europe — from global corporations to the heart of the Berlin startup scene — before founding Monarch AI. That journey gave me a deep understanding of what technology can do at its best. And a clear-eyed view of what it enables at its worst.
Monarch AI was born from a simple but urgent conviction: that the most powerful technology being built today should be protecting our most vulnerable — not exploiting them. Children are growing up in a digital environment that was never designed with their safety in mind. I decided to change that.
Monarch AI is built around an AI-powered solution that detects harmful online patterns in real time — giving schools and families the ability to intervene before it is too late. Because a child's safety should never depend on someone manually checking a tablet by hand.
None of this is built alone. I am fortunate to have a dedicated technical team — Edwin, Sascha and Youxuan — who show up every day with the same conviction I do, a long-term advisor in Justin whose guidance has been invaluable, and a growing community of supporters working alongside us behind the scenes. We are united by one belief: that purpose-built technology saves lives.
This is not just a company. It is a commitment — to the children who deserve better and to the schools and families fighting every day to protect them.
Monarch AI is onboarding school districts now ahead of our August launch. Reach out to learn how our platform fits your school, and get pricing tailored to your district.
