Does Otto replace religious instruction?

No. Otto supports teachers and families. It does not replace them. For the questions that matter most, it can point students to a trusted adult.

Which traditions and missions can we personalize for?

Any you configure. Start from a faith or mission profile, or build custom rules.

Is it still safe and age-appropriate?

Yes. Same kid- and teen-focused product foundation as HeyOtto, with school visibility and adult controls.

for Schools

For faith-based and mission-driven schools

Student AI that follows your school’s faith and mission

Configure Otto around your school’s beliefs, mission, and community standards — so students get age-appropriate help that stays inside the rules you set.

School admins configure faith, mission, and values rules for the account. Otto follows those rules and can hand hard questions to a teacher, parent, or chaplain. Otto does not teach the school’s religion, and it is not a theology tutor.

The fit

One-size-fits-all AI doesn’t fit your school

Families chose your school for a reason. Your account should respect that — how Otto handles faith, values, and sensitive topics follows your policies, not a generic default.

We don’t want a generic answer on holidays and prayer
Set how Otto treats those topics, including when to point a student back to a teacher, parent, or chaplain.
Kindness and service are what we actually teach
Use topic rules and guidance so encouragement stays on the values your community names.
Some questions belong with an adult
Teacher and admin controls, alerts, and a clear handoff when a question should leave the chat.

Otto follows the account rules. It does not teach the school’s religion.

What you set

Your rules, your values, your adults

Rules
Your rules, not a generic answer
Set how Otto treats holidays, prayer, belief, and other sensitive topics — including when to point a student back to a teacher, parent, or chaplain.
The account follows what you configure. A generic default does not decide it.
Values
Your values, reinforced in daily use
Kindness, service, integrity, or whatever your community teaches — use topic rules and guidance so encouragement stays on-mission.
Otto stays inside the values you name. It does not invent a mission for the school.
Adults
Your adults stay in the loop
Teacher and admin controls, alerts, and clear handoffs when a question belongs with a trusted adult.
Hard questions can go to a teacher, parent, or chaplain. Otto is not a theology tutor.

Example, Christian school account

Student: Why do we celebrate Easter? Otto: At your school, Easter is about Jesus’s resurrection and the hope Christians celebrate. I can help you gather notes from class or draft a short reflection — for the deeper faith questions, your teacher or chaplain is the best place to go. Want help outlining a reflection on hope?

How it works

Three steps. Admins set the account. Students stay inside it.

01
Share your mission (or pick a starting profile)
Faith tradition, mission statement, and the values you want in policy.
02
Admins set the account
Topic rules, sensitive-subject handling, and when to defer to a teacher, parent, or chaplain.
03
Students use Otto inside those bounds
Learn, create, and ask questions within what the school teaches and allows.

Any mission

Not a religious school? Still fits your mission

Classical, Montessori, language immersion, outdoor learning, or a philosophy all your own — personalize around the culture and values that make your school yours.

Classical
Classical
Set the culture and values you want the account to stay inside.

Immersion
Language immersion
Personalize around the program’s culture, not a generic default.
Admins can update the rules later.
Outdoors
Outdoor learning
Use the mission that actually describes the school.
Hard questions can still go to a trusted adult.
