Help them think it through
Study Mode asks questions and offers hints to encourage understanding. Parents can make it the default or lock it on for a profile.
03
A place for each family member
Separate profiles keep preferences and conversations together, and teens get a more grown-up tone. Parents manage profiles from a PIN-protected dashboard.
04
Keep an eye on usage
Review token and cost estimates, track usage, and set daily limits for each profile, with a choice to pause chat or switch to cheaper models. Teens see what their chats cost each day; younger children see how much of the day’s limit is used.
More conversation. More discovery.

A peek inside DadGPTEXAMPLE
Science Dad
Example question: Why does the moon look different every night?
Illustrative DadGPT answer: The Moon is always round! As it travels around Earth, we see different amounts of its sunlit half. Imagine shining a flashlight on a ball: the bright part you can see changes as you walk around it. 🌙
A new question can become a new discovery.
Study Mode
Example question: Can you help me work out 3 × 4?
Illustrative DadGPT answer: Let’s picture 3 plates with 4 strawberries on each one. How could you add those groups together? Try the first step, and we’ll work from there. 🍓
Hints and questions that leave room for their thinking.
Classic Dad
Example question: Tell me a space joke!
Illustrative DadGPT answer: Why did the sun skip college? It already had a million degrees. ☀️ I’ll see myself out…
Because a little laughter belongs in learning, too.
Illustrative conversations, not a live chatbot. Actual replies vary.
Built with grown-ups in the loop
More oversight.
Clearer boundaries.
Protection works in layers. Here’s what’s in the beta, and where it has limits.
Checks on questions and replies
Profanity filtering and OpenAI moderation check messages in both directions. If AI moderation is unavailable, a simpler keyword filter is used, which offers less protection.
Models selected with oversight
Administrators curate the model pool. Parents choose which of those models their family can use and can restrict model tiers for individual profiles.
Controls that live on the server
Study Mode locks, model restrictions, and daily usage limits are checked on the server. A daily cost limit can be exceeded by the final reply; it is not a prepaid spending guarantee.
Visibility with clear boundaries
Parents who own the family account can read conversations stored under that account. For profiles owned by a separate account, linked-parent access follows the configured history permissions. Conversation retention settings control scheduled cleanup.
The technology behind the conversation
Familiar AI families.
A curated selection.
DadGPT connects to model APIs through OpenRouter. The integration supports these model families; specific versions and availability depend on the curated catalog and your family’s settings.
OpenAIGPT
AnthropicClaude
GoogleGemini
PerplexitySonar
You choose the boundaries. Smart Mode selects within enabled models and profile restrictions. See the current choices in the parent dashboard.
API access is different from an app subscription. DadGPT does not include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity consumer subscriptions. Some Sonar models use live web search, which adds another content source to consider.
Simple and clear, before you commit
A family plan is on the way.
We’re working out the included AI usage and model access before opening paid subscriptions. Final pricing, limits, and billing terms will be published here before purchase.

The latest little improvements.
Rename and delete chats
Chats can be renamed and deleted from the conversation list. A child’s deleted chats stay visible to their parent.
Study Mode settings follow every request
Parent-set Study Mode locks and defaults are now applied on the server to both chat and cost previews.
Daily usage limits handle overlapping messages
Requests for one profile are processed in order so simultaneous messages cannot all pass the same daily-limit check.
Good questions, grown-ups
A few things
you might wonder.
Clear answers matter as much as clever ones.
How do we get started?
An adult with a beta invitation code can use the signup page and sign in with Google or Microsoft. The beta is still being developed; public paid signup is not available yet.
Is DadGPT a person?
No. DadGPT is an AI chatbot. The personalities change its conversational style; they are not real people or a replacement for parents, teachers, or professional care.
Will Study Mode always avoid giving the answer?
Study Mode prompts the model to guide learning with hints and questions. The parent’s mode lock is enforced by the server, but the wording of an AI reply still depends on the model and can be imperfect.
Can parents see every conversation?
Parents can read conversations for profiles stored under their own account. For a profile on a separate account, such as a supervised teen, linked-parent access can allow full history, summaries, or no history access, depending on permissions. When a child deletes a chat, it leaves their list but stays visible to their parent, who can restore it or delete it for good. Messages blocked by the safety filter are not saved as conversations. The exception is a message that may be about self-harm: the child gets a supportive reply with crisis resources, and the message is shown to their parent in the parent dashboard, with an email alert.
Does DadGPT guarantee safe or correct answers?
No. Filters can miss content, and AI can make mistakes. Use DadGPT with adult guidance, check important information, and avoid sharing sensitive details. DadGPT is not an emergency service or a tool for medical or mental-health advice.
Does a DadGPT plan include ChatGPT or Claude subscriptions?
No. DadGPT uses model APIs through OpenRouter. Access to a model in DadGPT does not include the model provider’s separate consumer app or subscription.
What happens to conversation data?
DadGPT stores conversations for history and permitted parent review. Relevant chat content goes to OpenRouter and the selected model provider; content checks use OpenAI. Provider data practices also apply. The summary here is not a Privacy Policy; final public-launch policies and consent arrangements are still being prepared.
Before your family joins
DadGPT is an invitation-only beta. Public-launch policies and parental-consent arrangements are still being prepared. Please review the data information above and avoid sharing sensitive personal details. This page describes the product; it is not a Privacy Policy or Terms of Service.
Keep asking why.
There’s a whole world
to wonder about.
