App & tool guide · AI companions & chatbots

Nomi

This app offers an AI companion or open-ended chatbot a child can confide in — the pattern that warrants the closest parental attention.

ParentMode's take

16+ at earliest; 17+ rating is appropriate for most users under 18.

Nomi is an open-ended AI companion designed for emotional connection and conversation. The app's stated content flags (mild mature themes, sexual content, profanity, drug references) reflect what an unrestricted conversational AI may produce—especially if a young user steers the dialogue. Companion apps blur the line between tool and relationship, which requires maturity to use safely.

What a parent can do

Data & privacy

Check the app's App Store privacy label carefully; assume conversations may be retained and used to improve the AI model, even if the developer claims deletion.

Controls

Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to monitor app use and set time limits; review the app's own settings for any content filters or safety modes before your teen uses it.

A cautious next step

If your teen wants an AI tool, consider whether a task-focused app (homework help, journaling prompts) or a moderated community fits the goal better than an unstructured companion.
