Poe
ParentMode's take
16+ with active parental awareness; 13–15 only with explicit parent co-use and clear boundaries.
Poe is an unrestricted gateway to multiple AI models (including creative/uncensored ones) with minimal content filtering. The 17+ rating reflects real risks: users can ask sensitive health/sexual questions and receive unvetted responses, and the open-ended design mirrors social-companion patterns that may encourage emotional reliance on AI rather than human relationships.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Review Poe's App Store privacy label carefully; assume conversation data may be used to train or improve AI models, and be clear with your child about what 'private' means in this context.
Controls
Use device-level Screen Time or Family Link to set app limits and review app permissions; check Poe's in-app settings for any available safety or content toggles.
A cautious next step
If your teen needs homework or writing support, consider closed-ecosystem educational tools or AI platforms with transparent safety policies and parent oversight options.
