Digital Tom
A character children can see, hear and safely interact with.
Digital Tom combines approved stories, accessibility controls, child-safety rules and supervised speech conversation. The build now supports Inworld as the recommended voice provider, with a designed youthful Tom voice, plus an existing guided version that works without an AI account.
Created from lived experience
Meet Alex Xeras — the person behind the Wheelz.
Alex is an author, educator and creative thinker. He created Tom so children could meet a character whose chair is part of his life, but never the whole story.
“The world isn’t finished yet. We can help draw how it should be.”Meet Alex
