Screen time limits for AI chat
Pair time limits with topic limits and chat visibility. Time alone does not show what was said. On HeyOtto (ages 8–18), set house time rules and encode topic controls on a parent-created account. Otto is an assistant, not a companion. Related: /ai-for-kids-parental-controls.
