The big idea
Snapchat has a chatbot called My AI built into the app. It can answer questions, suggest stuff, even chat. It is okay for fun stuff — but never share personal info.
Some examples
Okay: 'My AI, suggest 3 fun things to do this weekend.'
Okay: 'My AI, help me come up with a Halloween costume idea.'
NOT okay: telling My AI your full name, school, address, or anything personal.
NOT okay: sending photos of yourself or others to My AI.
Try it!
Look at the privacy info for My AI in Snapchat settings. With a parent, decide what is okay to use it for and what is not.
