AI for kids without social features
Look for AI that helps with schoolwork and creating without stranger chat, public feeds, or companion-style roleplay with other users. HeyOtto is parent-provisioned for ages 8–18: Otto is an assistant, not a companion — and the parent can review conversations. Try free, then set topic limits that match your house rules.
