HeyOtto! lets kids and teens ages 8–18 create videos with Otto, the family AI assistant. Start from an idea. Turn a storybook into a video. Turn an image into a video. Prompts and outputs are filtered using the child’s age profile and family values before a video is generated. Parents can review video activity from the Parent Dashboard. Otto is an assistant, not a companion.

Can kids generate videos safely in HeyOtto?

Yes. Kids ages 8–18 can ask Otto, the family AI assistant, in chat. Start from an idea, turn a storybook into a video, or turn an image into a video. Filters check the prompt and result, and parents can see what gets made.

Can kids make videos in HeyOtto?

Yes. Kids ages 8–18 can ask Otto in chat. Start from an idea, turn a storybook into a video, or turn an image into a video. They type in plain language; Otto helps them get a usable clip.

Can they make anything they want?

No. HeyOtto! is not an unrestricted video tool. Prompts and outputs are checked against the child’s age profile and your family values before a video is generated.

Do parents see the videos kids make?

Yes. Video requests and results stay on the family account. Parents can review activity from the Parent Dashboard.

How is this different from adult video tools?

Consumer video tools are built for adults and can generate unrestricted clips. HeyOtto! is AI for kids and teens: Otto is the family assistant, filters run after the child’s age profile and family values, and parents can see what gets made.

What ages is HeyOtto video generation for?

HeyOtto! is built for kids and teens ages 8–18. Video filters follow the child’s profile so a younger kid and a teen are not treated the same.

What should my kid make tonight?

Start with a real task: a short school explainer, a story scene, or a how-to. Copy a prompt from this page and paste it into HeyOtto.

Creativity with guardrails

  • Filtered before creation

    Age-appropriate checks apply to the prompt and the video result — not just a report button after the fact.

  • Idea, storybook, or image

    Start from an idea in chat. Turn a storybook into a video. Turn an image into a video. School explainers, story scenes, and how-tos — in plain language.

  • Aligned with your values

    Family values from the Parent Dashboard influence what Otto will and will not generate.
