Category: Personal advice

What this might mean

This chat suggests your child may be leaning on AI for emotional support, or turning to it instead of friends or family. An always-available chatbot can feel easier than people, especially when things are hard. That is not a problem in itself, but it is worth making sure they have people to lean on too.

Ways to start the conversation

“What do you like about talking things through with the AI?”
“Who do you feel you can talk to when things get hard?”
“Has anything happened with friends that’s made it harder to talk to them?”

Try not to make fun of it or take the app away straight away. Ask what it gives them first.

Questions parents ask

More in support and how TeenCue works. Compare Bark, Qustodio and Aura with TeenCue, or see parental controls in every AI app.

What do TeenCue’s AI parental controls do?

TeenCue is an extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Brave on your child’s computer, plus a parent dashboard. When your child uses a supported AI website, it shows you what the chat was about as a category, a topic and a concern rating, sends a heads-up for self-harm and for topics you choose, and emails a Weekly Teen Brief. What was typed is never stored.

Does TeenCue let me read every conversation?

No. TeenCue shows what AI is being used for, as a category, a topic and a concern rating. What was typed is never stored, so there is nothing to read back.

How much does TeenCue cost?

$79 per year or $9.99 per month, for your whole family. The annual plan starts with a 7-day free trial, then $79/year, for families new to TeenCue. Cancel anytime from Account in two taps.

What AI tools are supported?

TeenCue works with supported AI chat services in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Brave, currently ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Character.AI, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Poe. Support for the Meta AI website is being verified. It does not cover AI features built into other apps.

Does my child know it is installed?

Yes. TeenCue is not built for secret monitoring. The extension is visible in their browser, and pairing is a step you complete together.

Can TeenCue see AI use on my child’s iPhone?

Not yet. Works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Brave on a computer today. iPhone coming soon. Join the early access list and we’ll email you the day it launches.

Will TeenCue work on a school Chromebook?

Usually not. Works on home computers in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Brave. School-managed Chromebooks usually block extensions we can’t control. The iPhone app is coming soon. If TeenCue won’t install because the computer is managed by a school, email support@teencue.com and we’ll refund your most recent payment in full.

Is this a replacement for Bark, Qustodio, or Screen Time?

No. TeenCue focuses specifically on understanding AI usage, and works alongside broader parental control tools.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes per computer. Add your child, send a setup link to the computer they use, and open it there in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Brave. No code to type.
