How do AI alerts for parents work?
Parent alerts flag moments that need attention — they are a heads-up, not a replacement for readable chat history. On HeyOtto, alerts sit with conversation visibility and topic limits on a parent-created account for ages 8–18. Otto is an assistant, not a companion. See /features/parent-dashboard and /ai-for-kids-parental-controls.
A parent creates the account.
Summary
Alerts help parents act quickly; transcripts let you understand context. Buy both.
Takeaways
- Alerts = heads-up; transcripts = full context
- Prefer both on a parent-held account
