Pi

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+ with active parent awareness; not recommended under 16

Pi is an open-ended AI conversational partner designed for ongoing dialogue. The 17+ rating reflects that an unsupervised child could encounter or normalize infrequent mature content; more importantly, the companion-like design may encourage emotional reliance on an AI without human judgment or accountability.

What a parent can do

Data & privacy

Check the app's privacy label in the App Store; assume conversations may be used to train or improve the AI model, even if anonymized.

Controls

Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to set app time limits and review usage patterns; check whether the app offers built-in usage or content reporting.

A cautious next step

If your goal is an AI homework or writing helper, task-focused apps with narrower scope and clearer safety boundaries may be more appropriate for younger teens.
