How it works

Chat. Build. Share.

From first idea to published creation — a creative loop designed for kids who want to make things, not just consume them.

Chat

Describe your idea

Tell Otto what you want to make — a game, quiz, storybook, or tool — in plain language. No syntax required.

Build

Watch it come to life

Otto generates the code, design, and logic in real time. Refine it until it matches what you imagined.

Share

Publish to the world

Save it, show friends and family, or submit to the Marketplace so every HeyOtto family can discover it.

Not just ideas. Things you can make.

With HeyOtto, kids and teens can build real projects with AI, explore how their creations work, and submit their finished work to the Marketplace. Then the fun continues: discover what other young creators have made and find inspiration for your next project.

  • a game you wish existed.

  • a tool that solves a problem.

  • an experience inspired by something you love.

Why families use the Marketplace

  • A reason to finish

    When a project can be shared, kids have a reason to test it, fix what's broken, and polish it until it's ready.

  • Ideas from other kids

    Trying what other young creators built shows what's possible and sparks the next project.

  • Sharing with guardrails

    Every project is reviewed by the HeyOtto team, parents can require approval, and there are no comments or follower counts.

From a first idea to something you can share.

Start building with HeyOtto

  1. 01

    Imagine it

    Start with something you want to make: a game, an app, a tool, or an entirely new idea.

  2. 02

    Build with Otto

    Use HeyOtto to develop it. Try it, explore the code, fix what doesn't work, and keep improving.

  3. 03

    Submit your creation

    When you're ready, submit it. Your family's settings decide whether a parent approves it first.

  4. 04

    Get reviewed

    The HeyOtto team reviews every submission before it's published.

  5. 05

    Discover what's next

    Explore other creators' work, follow the ones you like, and find your next build.

Share what you make. Discover what comes next.

The Marketplace connects creation with discovery. The focus stays on the work itself: what someone made, what it does, and what other people can learn from it. Following a creator is simply a way to discover their new projects.

Kids can

  • Explore projects by category
  • Follow creators they enjoy
  • Rate projects they've tried

You won't find

  • Public follower counts
  • Comment threads
  • Follow-back pressure

For parents

More room to create, with family safety controls in place.

Kids should have room to explore ideas and build useful skills. Parents should have meaningful oversight of their experience. The Marketplace operates within HeyOtto's existing family safety controls.

Parent approval
Your choice
Parents choose whether their child needs approval before submitting a project.
HeyOtto team review
Always
Every submission is reviewed by the HeyOtto team before publication, whatever the family setting.

Your next idea could be the one someone else discovers.

You don't need to know exactly how to build something before you begin. Start with an idea, work with Otto to develop it, and keep improving until you're ready to share.
