Safety Isn't a Feature. It's Everything.

Otto was built by parents who understand that keeping kids safe online requires more than just content filtering. It requires a complete system designed from the ground up for child protection.

Four Pillars of Protection

Every conversation passes through multiple safety layers designed specifically for children.

AI Guardrails

Otto's AI is trained specifically for kids with built-in safety constraints that prevent inappropriate responses before they're generated.

  • Harmful content blocking

Content Monitoring

Real-time analysis of every message using advanced AI to detect concerning patterns, inappropriate requests, or potential risks.

Parental Oversight

Complete transparency with full conversation history, customizable controls, and the ability to adjust any setting at any time.

  • Full conversation access

Data Security

Bank-level encryption protects all data in transit and at rest. Your child's information is never sold or shared with third parties.

Otto generates a response within your configured boundaries-age-appropriate, educational, and aligned with your family's values.

Parent Notification (If Needed)

If concerning patterns are detected, you receive an instant alert via email or text with context and options to review or adjust settings.

The full conversation is stored securely in your parent dashboard where you can review it anytime, search for specific topics, or export for your records.
