April 26 2004 Chatsworth California. MCFIII Corporation today announced the introduction of MyCyberFriend, an exciting Artificial Intelligence like program for children to chat and make new friends. Stressing safety and fun, the program enables children to talk with human-like robots. These robot friends can chat about different free flowing topics, and they become friendlier as the conversation lengthens.

"MCF is based on the assumption that children enjoy emulating ‘BIG KIDS’ as they chat online. In 2003, thirty million kids in this age group were online with computers, and they want to chat with someone, anyone,” said Scott McTyre, president of MCFIII. “MyCyberFriend provides a place safe from Internet predators or even from other mean children in chat rooms. MyCyberFriend provides free flowing chat that permits 8-12 yr olds to interact on virtually any topic that might interest that age group.”
MCF creates a fun safe harbor for children to chat on the Internet. Adhering closely to the COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), MyCyberFriend never collects personal information that would allow a way for a REAL human to contact them. There are two main Friends: a robot boy and girl that think and act like humans. This helps the child feel that he or she is interacting with a REAL friend

.
The introductory version of MyCyberFriend is designed to provide fun and entertainment. Future versions will focus more on education with modules that target specific subjects such as math, science, Spanish, and other languages.

MCFIII Corporation in Chatsworth, California was founded in 2001with the goal of creating a free, safe, entertainment Internet product for children. MyCyberFriend is now up and running and is available at no charge on the Web: http://www.mycyberfriend.com
