Skill for neimo: Regulation Tutor

Today we're shipping regulation-tutor — a skill that teaches you children's online safety and privacy law the way a good tutor would: shaped to who you are and what you're building, taught in whatever format helps it stick, with every rule pulled live from neimo., k-ID's regulatory knowledge base, and cited to the statute it came from.

Ask it to train you on COPPA. Ask it to walk your new hire through Brazil's rules before a launch. Ask it what the UK Online Safety Act means for the thing your team ships. It asks who you are first — and how you like to learn — then teaches the law as it stands today, not as a model half-remembers it.

You can download it here and start your first session in minutes.

Here's why we built it, what it does, and how to use it.

The problem regulation-tutor solves

The thing we get asked for most isn't a feature. It's training.

Teams building for digital youth — game studios, social apps, EdTech, AI products — keep asking some version of the same question: help my people understand the rules. Not a 200-page survey. Not a webinar that was current last year. An answer shaped to the person asking — the PM deciding whether a mystery-chest mechanic ships in Brazil, the engineer wiring an age gate, the new account exec with a publisher call on Thursday.

The options on the table haven't been great. Static training is generic the day it's written and stale a quarter later. And asking a chatbot gets you an answer that's fluent, confident, and from memory — which is the problem. These laws move by the month, and a model's recollection of a consent rule can be the exact inverse of what a regulator decided last spring, delivered in the same confident tone either way. In this field, a wrong answer doesn't read any differently than a right one.

regulation-tutor exists because teaching and grounding shouldn't be a trade-off. It personalizes like a conversation and sources like a lawyer. One hard rule underneath all of it: it never answers regulation from memory. Every threshold, date, and consent method is pulled from neimo at the moment it's taught, with the citation and verification status shown. And when neimo doesn't have the data, the tutor says so and stops. That refusal is the feature.

What it does, step by step

Start a session and it does six things:

1. Asks who you are before teaching anything. Role, what you're building, which markets you ship to, how deep to go — exec overview or practitioner detail. No generic lectures; the intake is the point.

2. Lets you pick how you learn. The same rule lands differently as a slider, a slide, or a quiz, so the tutor asks which fits: an interactive explorer with live, cited widgets you can poke at; a guided conversation you steer turn by turn; a presentation walkthrough to brief a team; quiz-first drills; or a scannable cited cheat-sheet you can act on now. Mix them, or switch mid-session.

3. Builds the lesson around your role. A DPO gets data subject rights and record-keeping. A PM gets age thresholds, consent, and monetization rules. An engineer gets age assurance methods. An exec gets penalties and what's on the horizon.

4. Teaches turn by turn from live neimo data. Each fact is fetched at the moment it's taught — the whole rule as the source states it, not a tidy shorthand — and cited to the primary source, with neimo's verification status attached.

5. Quizzes you if you want it. Role-relevant scenarios, marked against a neimo-sourced answer key.

6. Knows when the lesson is over. The moment "teach me the rule" turns into "is our setup actually compliant," it hands you to an actual assessment instead of improvising a legal opinion mid-lesson.

What a session looks like

A real exchange, with real data. A product manager launching a kids title in Brazil asks about parental consent:

The consent method you were about to ship, flagged against the statute that moved — law linked, date stated, verification status shown. Not "email is probably risky." The actual row, from the actual source.

Where it's most valuable

Onboarding. The fastest way to make a new PM, engineer, or seller fluent in the regulatory landscape they just walked into — taught at their level, on their product, in their markets.

Before a market launch. Shipping into Brazil, the UK, or Australia for the first time? An hour with the tutor scoped to that market surfaces the rules that will actually shape the build — including the ones that changed since your last launch.

When the rules move. A new statute lands and half the company has questions. Point them at the tutor instead of forwarding a law-firm memo nobody finishes. The lesson is as fresh as the knowledge base.

Before a customer call. For teams selling into this space: get fluent on a regime before the meeting, with citations you can repeat without wincing.

Ending a Slack debate. "Is a checkbox enough for consent in market X?" is a five-minute tutoring exchange with a statute at the end of it, not a week-long thread.

How to run it

Install the skill, then talk to it like a person:

"Train me on COPPA and ECA Digital — I'm a PM at a mobile games studio and we're launching a kids title in the US and Brazil."

"I just joined the sales team and I need to get up to speed on the UK Online Safety Act before a publisher call."

"Teach our trust & safety lead the Australian rules. Practitioner depth."

"Give me a one-page, cited cheat-sheet of Brazil's consent and monetization rules for a kids game."

It runs its intake, proposes a lesson plan, and starts teaching. Steer it anywhere — deeper on a method, across to another market, into a quiz. It covers any role and any of the 200-plus markets in neimo.

Where it fits

regulation-tutor is the learning layer of the pair.

neimo is the part of k-ID that knows the rules — the structured, sourced, 200-plus-market record of what's required, where, as of when. Regulatory-watch keeps your documents honest against it. The tutor keeps your people honest against it — because the CDK staying age-aware in real time only gets you so far if the team shipping on top of it is working from last year's understanding. The rules update themselves. Now humans can too.

That's what we're shipping: private lessons in the laws that protect digital youth, for everyone building for them.

Download it here and book your first one. Starting with the literal kind of private lesson.
