HeyOtto is a safe AI platform where kids and teens learn, create, and ask anything — shaped by your family's values, tuned to each of your kids, with you in the loop the whole way.
Every conversation, creation, and question happens inside an environment designed for kids and teens.
Real answers to any question, at any age.
Support that teaches, not answers that shortcut.
Kids are the creators, not just the users.
For you
Three ways to stay connected to your kid's AI life.
Your command center for the whole family.
Your own Otto, for adult-level conversations.
Otto follows your lead on the topics that matter.
No two kids are the same. Neither are two families.
Profiles tuned to each kid, not one-size-fits-all.
What's personalized
Age, interests, learning style, communication preferences
How parents shape it
Pacing, directness, structure, routine — per kid
Accessibility built in
Dyslexia-friendly font, plus communication controls for kids who read, learn, or process differently
Context that builds over time — and you see it too.
What Otto remembers
Interests, projects, and what your kid has struggled with
What you see
Bright spots worth celebrating, alongside safety alerts in your dashboard
What never happens
Nothing lost between conversations, nothing important past you
Your account structure matches your actual family.
Who fits
Two-parent, single-parent, co-parents, grandparents, blended families
How it works
Add a second parent, or switch between family accounts across households
What stays separate
Each household keeps its own kids, settings, and values — Otto knows which is which
Not an app they age out of. A platform they grow up on.
What changes
More depth, independence, and challenge as your kid grows
What doesn't
Your visibility and your values stay constant
The span
Otto at 8 isn't Otto at 15 — by design

A 9-year-old asks Otto why the moon follows the car, then spends twenty minutes going down a (safe) rabbit hole about orbits. Her mom sees the topic on the dashboard that evening and keeps the conversation going at dinner.
A 13-year-old is stuck on a pre-algebra problem set. Otto walks him through the first one step by step, then coaches him through the rest without giving answers away. His dad checks Parent Chat: "How's homework going this week?"
A 16-year-old builds a study-flashcard app in Studio and publishes it to the Marketplace. Other kids actually use it. It goes on her college application.
Dad has kids in two households. He switches between the two family accounts — one set of kids, one set of values in each home — and Otto keeps it all straight. No settings collisions, no explaining the family tree twice.
Straight answers to the questions families ask before they sign up.
