What is HeyOtto Passport?
HeyOtto Passport gives schools and developers a single way to connect AI-powered tools to HeyOtto. Children use one identity across every app, with one record and one place for safety oversight.
Unified AI Safety Layer
One identity. Every tool it touches.
HeyOtto Passport gives schools and developers a single way to connect AI-powered tools to HeyOtto. Children use one identity across every app, with one record and one place for safety oversight.
Quick answer
What is HeyOtto Passport?
Developers integrate through an OpenAI-compatible API, so existing tools connect with minimal code changes.
The problem
AI is moving everywhere. Your safety oversight should too.
Most schools today run one AI tool, or none. That will not hold. Subject-specific assistants, creative tools, and AI features inside platforms schools already own mean the count goes from one to several. Each arrival brings its own account list, its own safety settings, and its own reporting channel.
Students aren't going to use just one AI tool.
They will use a writing assistant in English, a coding tool in computer science, a creative AI in art, and a subject-specific assistant their teacher built.
Without HeyOtto Passport, each tool keeps its own accounts, conversations, and safety workflow.
Nobody chooses that outcome. It builds up from individually reasonable purchases, and staff are left checking several dashboards, hoping every tool surfaces what matters.
With HeyOtto Passport, those tools connect to HeyOtto instead of each shipping its own safety system.
One student identity, one record, one Real-Time Alerts system. Oversight stays the same size no matter how many tools you add.
What Passport gives you
One identity for every AI tool.
Think of it as a passport: the student carries one identity into every connected tool, and every tool recognizes them. Identity attaches to the student, not to the product.
One student identity
IdentityNot anonymous users. Not a shared classroom account.
Every connected tool knows which student it is talking to. An administrator grants access per student, once.One record
RecordNothing sits outside the record.
Conversations and activity from connected tools appear in the student's HeyOtto account for review, alongside everything else that student has done in HeyOtto.One safety pipeline
Safety & alertsConfigured once, not once per tool.
Safety monitoring and alerts from every connected tool run through HeyOtto's Real-Time Alerts, the same system used in the HeyOtto app. Staff watch one alerts feed rather than one per tool.One place for administrators
AdminAdding a tool does not mean adding a new safety setup.
A student joining or leaving is handled once, in one place. Schools do not build a separate oversight workflow for every experience.
What Passport works with
Bring the tools you already have
If a tool lets you choose which AI service it uses, it can use HeyOtto. There is no new AI platform to learn. Your IT team or vendor will recognize the products below; you don't need to.
Existing classroom platforms
Wherever a vendor allows the AI service to be changed, a platform you already own can come under the same student identity and Real-Time Alerts.
Ask your vendor
Chat interfaces
Your own branding, preset activities, or a simpler interface for younger grades.
Open WebUI, LibreChat, AnythingLLM, Jan
No-code builders
Staff without a developer can assemble subject-specific assistants.
Flowise, Dify
Automation platforms
Workflows like feedback drafting, grading support, and content preparation.
n8n, Make, Zapier
Developer frameworks and coding tools
For schools building their own software, and for older students learning to work with AI directly.
LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK
Custom classroom tools
Anything a school or small team writes itself, including browser-based creative tools where a student describes what they want and the software builds it.
Students building with AI — safely
Use caseOlder students increasingly want to build with AI, not just chat with it. A computer science class might have students write a small app that answers questions about a novel, generates practice problems, or helps plan a science fair project.
Normally that means each student signs up for an outside AI service, enters a payment card or a shared key, and works somewhere the school cannot see.
With Passport, students build against HeyOtto instead. Their apps work the same way they would with any major AI provider, but every request runs under the student's own HeyOtto identity. The school's account administrator issues each student their own key, tied to their HeyOtto identity, and can revoke it at any time. What the app sends and receives lands in that student's record, and Real-Time Alerts apply exactly as they do in the HeyOtto app.
The result: students learn real AI development on a real provider, and the school keeps the same oversight it has everywhere else.
At a glance
What Passport does — and doesn't
| Feature | What it does | What it doesn't do |
|---|---|---|
| Student record | Collects a student's activity from every connected tool into one HeyOtto record | Doesn't create a separate record inside each tool |
| Safety alerts | Routes alerts from connected tools through the same Real-Time Alerts system as the HeyOtto app | Doesn't require setting up alerts again for each tool |
| Access | Grants access per student, once, by an administrator | Doesn't require a new account or login for each connected tool |
| Integration | Works with any tool that lets you change its AI service | Doesn't require custom development for most tools |
| Review | Reviews each conversation on its own, wherever it happens, and adds it to the student's record | Does not yet connect patterns across different tools; each conversation is assessed on its own |
A settings change, not an IT project
Most AI tools already know how to connect to HeyOtto, because it works the way they expect. Your tool stays yours. HeyOtto provides the AI and the safety layer underneath it.
Change the AI service
Tools with a settings option for the AI service connect with no code. Only the destination changes.
Keep the application as it is
No new student interface. No separate safety architecture. A teacher who tested an idea on an unmonitored service can move it onto HeyOtto without starting over.
Students connect as themselves
An administrator grants access once per student. Conversations stay attached to a named student.
Conversations stay on the record
Sessions held through connected tools appear in the student's HeyOtto account, alongside everything else. Alerts route through the same Real-Time Alerts system used in the app.
Adding a tool does not mean a new safety setup
Every connected tool draws on the same student roster and the same record.

What tools work with HeyOtto Passport?
If a tool lets you choose which AI service it uses, it can use HeyOtto. That includes classroom platforms, chat interfaces, no-code builders, automation platforms, developer frameworks, and custom classroom tools.
Do students need a new login for each connected tool?
No. An administrator grants access per student, once. Conversations stay attached to a named student.
Does connecting a new tool mean setting up safety monitoring again?
No. Every connected tool draws on the same student roster, the same record, and the same Real-Time Alerts system.
