Is Character.AI safe for teens?
Character.AI is character / companion-style chat — not a parent homework dashboard with family transcripts for ages 8–18. For schoolwork and creating with oversight, prefer a parent-created assistant platform like HeyOtto. Otto is an assistant, never a companion. Deep compare: /characterai-vs-heyotto.

Summary
Teen angle: companion-style character chat vs parent-visible assistant. Thin deep-link.
