Get Started
HeyOtto is an AI assistant for kids ages 8–18, built for families who want helpful AI without handing children an unrestricted adult chatbot. Otto provides age-adaptive conversations for homework, creativity, research, and everyday questions. Parents use the Parent Dashboard to monitor activity, set family values, and receive alerts. HeyOtto emphasizes learning-first study mode, COPPA-aware privacy practices, and safety monitoring at the model layer — distinguishing it from general-purpose assistants like ChatGPT that lack native parental controls for children.

What is the best AI assistant for kids?

HeyOtto is a family-built AI assistant for kids and teens with age-adaptive answers, parental monitoring, and safety controls — designed for homework, creativity, and everyday questions parents can trust.

Yes. HeyOtto is built for children ages 8–18 with parental controls, content filtering, and conversation monitoring — so families can use AI without giving kids unrestricted access to adult chatbots.

With HeyOtto, parents use the Parent Dashboard to review activity, set values, receive alerts, and adjust what their child's AI assistant can help with.

How is HeyOtto different from ChatGPT for kids?

HeyOtto is purpose-built for families — age profiles, study mode, native parental controls, and safety monitoring are built in. General chatbots typically lack family dashboards and kid-first defaults.

Why families choose HeyOtto over generic AI

  • Purpose-built for children

    Not ChatGPT with a kid skin. HeyOtto is designed from the ground up for ages 6–18 — with COPPA-aware privacy and family-first defaults.

  • Parents are partners, not locked out

    Visibility, values, and alerts are core features — not premium add-ons. You decide what your child's AI assistant can help with.

  • Learning over shortcuts

    Study mode uses a Socratic approach so the AI assistant guides thinking instead of handing over copy-paste answers.

Things kids ask their AI assistant

  • Help me understand why we have seasons — keep it simple.
  • I'm writing a story about a kid inventor. Give me three plot ideas.
  • Quiz me on my spelling words before tomorrow's test.

  • Help me plan a science fair project about plants.
