For families
How HeyOtto Works
Two experiences. One platform. Built for your whole family.
Most AI tools make you choose: power or safety. HeyOtto doesn't compromise. Your kids get a genuinely useful AI. You get full visibility into every conversation. And everyone gets an experience designed specifically for them. Here's exactly how it fits together.
How it works
Three steps. One calm rhythm for your family.
From first signup to everyday use — built so parents stay in the loop without hovering over every keystroke.
Kids explore — safely
Your child gets an age-adaptive Otto: homework, creativity, and curiosity. Simpler for younger kids, more nuanced for teens — with your guardrails working in the background.
You see everything
Conversations land in your parent dashboard with summaries and alerts when something needs attention. Change settings anytime — including from Parent Chat.
Parents
What parents get HeyOtto gives you a complete picture of your child's AI use — plus your own full-powered AI assistant with no restrictions.
Parent Dashboard
Full conversation history, usage summaries, and real-time safety alerts in one place
Kids & teens
What kids get Your child gets a safe, age-appropriate AI that actually helps them learn — not just hands them answers.
AI Homework Help
Socratic guidance that builds real understanding — Otto explains the why, not just the answer
Where families feel the difference
Homework without the shortcut spiral
Kids get guidance that builds understanding — so AI supports learning instead of replacing thinking.
Creative streaks that stay age-appropriate
Stories, art, and projects stay inside the boundaries you set, with visibility for you.
Calm check-ins from the parent dashboard
See themes and activity at a glance, then step in with a conversation — not a surveillance panic.
Trust
Safety built in — not bolted on
Otto scored 95% on the KORA child safety benchmark — the only independent evaluation built specifically for AI and children. Every message your child sends passes through four layers of protection before Otto responds:
- Input analysis — checks for personal information, restricted topics, and attempts to bypass safety rules
- Age-adaptive processing — calibrates language, complexity, and content to your child's profile
- Output filtering — verifies the response before it reaches your child
- Parent logging — stores the full conversation in your dashboard, with alerts triggered automatically
Otto will never share adult content, ask your child to keep secrets, collect personal information, or try to manipulate them. These aren't configurable settings — they're hard-coded into Otto's core.
