How it works
How HeyOtto! Connect (MCP) works
Ask the AI assistant you already use. Get a straight answer from your family's HeyOtto! account — no extra app, no extra login, no digging through menus.
You say
“Any alerts for my kids this week?”
Otto
The answer comes from the same alerts already in your parent dashboard — your family account, not a new feed.
You say
“What has Jane been chatting about lately?”
Otto
You get a read on your own child's conversations. Connect only answers about children on your account.
You say
“How much time has Hudson spent on HeyOtto! this month?”
Otto
Usage that is already yours to see. Ask in plain English instead of clicking through menus.
Examples use first names the way a parent would. Connect only answers about your own children.
