Poe
ParentMode's take
16+ with parental awareness; not recommended under 16.
Poe is a gateway to multiple AI chatbots (Claude, GPT-4, others) with minimal content filtering between user and model. The 17+ rating reflects exposure to unfiltered AI outputs on sensitive topics; younger teens may encounter crude language, sexual content, or drug references depending on what they ask. The open-ended chat interface means there's no built-in guardrail against extended conversations on adult themes.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Review Poe's App Store privacy label; assume conversations may be retained and used to improve the AI models, even if anonymized.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to set app time limits and restrict access; review Poe's in-app privacy and content settings.
A cautious next step
If your teen is seeking an AI assistant for homework or learning, compare simpler, education-focused alternatives with stronger moderation and clearer data policies.
