Your command center for child AI safety
Complete visibility and full control over your child's AI experience — monitor conversations, customize parental controls, and receive real-time safety alerts from one intuitive dashboard.
What is HeyOtto parent dashboard?
The HeyOtto Parent Dashboard gives parents complete visibility and control over their child's AI experience. It includes conversation history with timestamps, smart safety alerts, per-child usage analytics, content filtering controls, profile management, and time limit settings — all accessible from one intuitive interface.
Key Benefits
Conversation History
Access complete chat transcripts with timestamps and search functionality. Review specific conversations and flag anything that needs a closer look. Never wonder what your child talked about.
Smart Safety Alerts
Receive email and push notifications when Otto detects concerning patterns, inappropriate requests, or when your child tries to access restricted topics. You choose the alert sensitivity level.
Topic Blocking & Content Filtering
Block specific topics completely — relationships, politics, adult content, and more. Otto automatically redirects conversations away from restricted subjects without your child knowing why.
Usage Analytics
Weekly and monthly reports show how much time each child spends with Otto, what topics they explore most, and how their interests evolve. Spot patterns early and respond with confidence.
Time Management Controls
Set daily or weekly usage limits, schedule available access hours (school days: 3–8pm only), and maintain healthy screen time habits with automated enforcement — no nagging required.
Per-Child Profiles
Create unique profiles for each child with age-adaptive settings, personality traits, learning goals, and individual restrictions. Each child's Otto experience is entirely their own.
Parental controls
Your family, your rules.
Powerful customization that lets you tailor every aspect of your child's AI experience — without needing to be a tech expert.
Age-Adaptive Content
Set your child's age and Otto automatically adjusts vocabulary, topic complexity, and content access as they grow — from ages 8 through 18.
Topic Restrictions
Block and redirect specific topics completely. Dating, politics, violence, religion — you decide what's accessible, with granular per-child controls.
Usage Limits & Schedules
Daily and weekly time caps, access windows (after school only, weekends only), and break reminders that enforce healthy AI habits automatically.
Personality & Interests
Add traits, hobbies, and goals to each child's profile so Otto personalizes every response — making conversations more relevant and engaging.
Family Values
Set religious preferences, cultural context, dietary awareness, and behavioral expectations so Otto respects what your family stands for.
Learning Goals & Progress
Define subject interests, educational focus areas, and skill goals. Track conversation history, achievements, and usage statistics over time.

How do AI parental controls work?
HeyOtto's parental controls are enforced at the AI model level — not just as a filter layered on top. When you set a restriction, Otto is literally instructed not to engage with that topic for your child. This means controls can't be bypassed by clever phrasing or jailbreaks. All settings changes take effect immediately in your child's next message.
Can you block topics on AI for kids?
Yes. HeyOtto's parental controls let you block any topic completely — dating, relationships, politics, violence, adult content, and more. Otto will automatically redirect conversations away from restricted subjects. You can configure different topic restrictions for each child based on their age and your family's values.
