ParentMode's take
Not recommended under 16; 16–17 only with active parental awareness of chat content.
The app pairs an AI companion with mature content advisories (sexual content, horror themes, profanity) and is designed for open-ended conversation—a pattern that concentrates risk when a young person may form reliance on an AI persona rather than human relationships.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Review the app's privacy label on the App Store; assume conversations are stored and may be used to improve the AI model.
Controls
Use device-level Screen Time (iOS) or Family Link (Android) to set app limits and restrict in-app purchases; check the app's own settings for content filtering or explicit-content toggles.
A cautious next step
If your teen wants an AI writing or homework tool, look for dedicated educational apps with narrower scope and clearer data policies.
