Quick answer

What is AI chat for students?

AI chat for students is an AI that students can talk to in their own words to ask questions, explore ideas and get unstuck. In a school version like HeyOtto, answers are filtered by grade level, schoolwork help starts with hints, and teachers can see the conversations in their classes.

  • Students ask in their own words with grade-based filtering
  • Teachers see conversations in their own classes
  • On schoolwork, Otto leads with hints
  • No ads
  • Admins oversee activity across the school

For students

From a question to a new understanding

Sometimes a student doesn’t need another textbook explanation. They need an example, a different angle or a place to start.

  • “Can you explain electricity using an example from everyday life?”

    Understand a hard concept

    Simpler language, a real-world example or another way in.

  • “I need an idea for a science fair project about plants.”

    Brainstorm and get unstuck

    Ideas, organized thoughts and a next step.

  • “How does the math we learn in class help engineers build bridges?”

    Explore beyond the lesson

    Follow-up questions and links between subjects.

  • “Help me organize my ideas for an essay about renewable energy.”

    Organize their own writing

    Outline and clarify, with the writing still theirs.

  • “Help me plan a short presentation explaining how recycling works.”

    Plan projects

    From first idea to a finished plan.

For teachers

Give students room to explore, without losing sight of learning

AI Chat supports the work you already do: encouraging questions and giving students another way into a hard idea.

  • Encourage better questions

    Students ask follow-ups, compare explanations and dig into why something works.

  • Support independent learning

    Students revisit an explanation at their own pace while you work with another group.

  • Meet different starting points

    A different example or level of explanation on the same topic.

  • Teach responsible AI use

    Real conversations become lessons in checking answers.

  • See how AI is used

    Review conversations in your classes to spot where students need help.
