What do the links at the top mean?

A link takes you to another page. The links at the top give you these choices:

  • Start here — follow the four short lessons from the beginning.
  • Everyday uses — find small, practical jobs you could try with AI.
  • AI tools — meet examples of outside AI apps and learn how to choose one.
  • Explore more — find news, detailed activities, and the separate children’s area.

How Tinker & Tokens handles your questions, practice prompts, and website visits. Updated October 19, 2026.

Patch and the practice tools

Questions entered into Patch are matched against a site index inside your browser. Prompt-builder and practice-checker entries also stay in the browser. We do not send those entries to a language-model service, save them in a database, or include them in an analytics event.

The tools hold their current state in the page. Clear Patch or close the page to remove that visible interaction. Your browser may independently retain history, form data, cached pages, or downloaded files according to its own settings.

Live AI tools are archived

Our live-model service is offline. The playground, adult demonstration, and optional lesson helpers are unavailable. These pages no longer offer a form that submits text to our model server. The original tools are retained privately.

Previously submitted requests were handled under the notice displayed when those tools were active. Archiving the tools does not assert that historical hosting records have been erased. For a privacy concern, email admin@tinkerandtokens.com without including sensitive information.

Kids’ corner

The kids’ activities use fixed-choice games and prerecorded videos served from this website. They do not request names, birthdays, messages, photos, voice recordings, or accounts. Game answers stay in page memory and are not sent to a model, saved between visits, or used for advertising or analytics. The child-facing pages do not load third-party video players, chat clients, analytics, or advertising scripts. Ordinary page and media requests still reach the website host, which may retain technical access logs as described below.

Children under 13 should use the activities with a parent, caregiver, or teacher. The age paths are teaching suggestions, not eligibility rules or verified age checks. Read the short kids’ notice or the grown-up guide.

The adult demonstration is archived

The separate demonstration is closed while the model service is offline. Its original page and handling notice are retained privately. The saved Kids’ Corner activities do not send game answers to a model.

What loading a website sends

Your browser requests pages, pictures, fonts, and media from the website’s host. A hosting provider may record technical access data such as IP address, requested URL, time, and browser information. This site does not currently add a separate analytics service, advertising tracker, account form, or cookie-based personalization.

Advertising and site verification

We are applying to Google AdSense. A public account-verification tag and ads.txt record identify the publisher account for site review. These records do not load Google advertising scripts, set advertising cookies, or send your practice entries to Google. Google advertising and personalized ads are not active on this site.

Before any advertising is activated, we will update this notice to describe the actual services, data use, and privacy choices. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Links to other sites

When you open an external AI app, model repository, review, or source, that service’s privacy rules apply. If you copy a prompt into an AI app, that app receives what you submit there. Check its settings before using private material.

If the site changes

The former live-chat connection is archived, as described above. Advertising networks, separate analytics, and newsletter signup are not active. Any future change will require updated data-handling information before activation.
