FAQ
Questions parents ask
How does it actually work?▾
Your kid tells Kanbi (an AI agent, not a chatbot) what they want to make. Kanbi interviews them for about fifteen minutes and writes a week-by-week plan as kanban cards. You approve the plan. Your kid does the work, marks cards done, and attaches evidence — a photo, a file, a paragraph. When they've shipped enough to invoice, they send the invoice to you. You approve it. Stripe moves money to their account. The public portfolio updates automatically.
Who is this for?▾
Parents of teens who are clearly smart and clearly checked out at school. The kid who has burned through multiple tutors, abandoned a couple of programs, locks in for a weekend on a random hobby, then disappears. If your kid is thriving in their current setup, this isn't a thing they need. If "we have tried five tutors and you quit every one" is a sentence you have said out loud, keep reading.
What's the trial — what happens after week 1?▾
One week free, card required at signup. After seven days, the card is charged $20/month (Family) or $10/month (Personal). I email you on day 4 and day 6 before the first charge. Cancel anytime in Settings — two clicks, no email, no phone call. If you cancel before day seven, the card never gets charged.
Who built this?▾
I did. I'm Graydon, 17. My dad bought it first because he was tired of paying for tutors I dropped. It's been live since June 2026. A handful of families are using it right now. I am the engineer, the designer, the support email, and test subject 0 for the platform. If you email hello@yeswekanban.app you are emailing me.
What if my kid has trouble focusing?▾
I'm going to refuse to give you the clinical answer because I'm not qualified to give one. What I can say is what the product actually does about it. The cards are small and have to ship something you can see. The kid is paid for their work. The plan is theirs — they helped Kanbi write it, around a thing they actually picked, so the "I don't care about this" tax is lower. None of that is medical care. It is a way to run work that has been the only structure that has kept me — a kid who drops everything — shipping for more than a month at a stretch. Your kid is a different kid. It might not work. The trial is a week so you can find out cheaply.
What kinds of things can kids learn?▾
Whatever they want to make. Current kids on the platform are building: a wooden desk, a Discord bot in Python, French pastries, a 3D-modeled army, a small e-commerce store. Kanbi doesn't have a curriculum library — it writes a custom plan for whatever you bring. If the thing requires equipment or supervision (welding, power tools, anything chemistry-adjacent), you decide whether that's OK in your house. I don't.
How does the money work — am I paying you, or my kid?▾
Both, separately. You pay me $20/month for the family tier (or $10 if you're the only learner) for the software — the AI agent, the kanban, the portfolio hosting, the invoicing. Then you pay your kid directly when you approve their invoices, through Stripe. I hold the kid's payout for 48 hours so you can dispute work if it wasn't actually done, then it goes to the bank account they linked. I don't take a cut of what you pay your kid.
