About

ChatGPT for Teens is a version of ChatGPT that OpenAI announced on 18 August 2026 for users aged 13 to 17. Users are placed into it automatically if OpenAI's age-prediction system estimates they are under 18, or if they state an age between 13 and 17. It adds stronger built-in safety protections, features meant to promote healthy use, and extra controls for parents.

The experience is focused on learning. It includes Study Mode, which uses guiding questions and step-by-step support, and responsible homework reminders that detect when a teen appears to be shortcutting an assignment and redirect them to Study Mode. It also offers quizzes, learning visualizations, and Study Hours, which let teens or parents set times when Study Mode is on by default.

It builds on earlier OpenAI teen-related work: parental controls, the Under-18 Model Spec, the Teen Safety Blueprint and age prediction. OpenAI also announced a partnership with CodeAI on AI education for students and educators. It is separate from ChatGPT for Teachers, which provides institution-managed access for educators. The provided material does not state pricing or country-by-country rollout details.

AI News: OpenAI Just Put the Brakes on AI

OpenAI infers whether a user is a teen from how they chat, or from stated age, and serves a teen version. The creator is skeptical about teens using ChatGPT heavily.
