Written by Pinwheel | Oct 23, 2026, 5:10:28 AM

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since we launched PinwheelAsk (formerly Pinwheel GPT)! In just 12 months, kids have asked nearly 85,000 questions — each one a testament to their endless curiosity, creativity and thirst for knowledge. As we celebrate this exciting milestone, we’re taking a look back at some of the most memorable moments from the past year and the questions that have made us smile, laugh, and marvel at the brilliance of young minds.

A Year of Curiosity and Exploration

When we first introduced PinwheelAsk, we knew it would be a great tool for kids to explore the world of AI in a safe, kid-friendly environment. What we didn’t know was just how many thought-provoking and hilarious questions we’d see along the way. With every conversation, we’ve witnessed kids unlocking new ideas, learning in ways that are both fun and interactive, and engaging in healthy digital exploration — all while giving parents the peace of mind that their children are safe online.

Here are just a few of the best questions kids have asked over the past year:



85,000 Questions and Counting

When we started, we could only imagine what the numbers would look like a year down the road. Today, with nearly 85,000 questions asked, PinwheelAsk has become a source of information and entertainment.

Parents have shared how PinwheelAsk has helped with everything from homework to bedtime stories, and how its monitoring features give them comfort in knowing they can always stay involved in their child’s digital life.

Looking Ahead to Year Two

As we look forward to another year, we’re excited to continue growing and improving PinwheelAsk. We want to continue to encourage creativity and provide parents tools to feel secure in this tech-driven world.

Thank you to all the parents and kids who’ve been part of this incredible journey. We can’t wait to see what the next 85,000 questions will be.
