Character.AI Introduces Parental Insights Tool for Teen Safety

Character.AI, a leading chatbot platform, has introduced a new feature called “Parental Insights” to provide parents with a better understanding of their child’s activity on the platform. The tool allows caregivers to monitor their children’s daily usage, top characters interacted with, and time spent on each character.

The feature is accessible via the child’s account preferences and requires the adult to add their email address before receiving weekly reports. These reports include:

* Daily average time spent on the platform
* Top characters interacted with
* Time spent with each character

Parents can request to revoke access to this data at any time, but the company will confirm the request.

Character.AI has implemented this feature in response to recent lawsuits alleging that the product harmed children. The company aims to improve teen safety and provide parents with information about their child’s activity on the platform. By listening to teens, parents, and leading teen safety organizations, Character.AI plans to refine its tool to better meet community needs.
