The company launched a Kickstarter campaign Monday aimed at raising $50,000 to develop apps that will use machine-learning technology to help parents monitor text-based messages their children receive from social networks including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and text messages.

The first app Artimys intends to develop, Spitball, will function as a messaging inbox on Android devices, aggregating all of a kid’s social activity in one place and using algorithms to discover threats such as bullying and sexual predation.
