New Delhi, August 18, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT for Teens, a dedicated experience for users aged 13 to 17 that combines learning-focused tools with stronger safety protections designed for younger users.
The company said the experience is aimed at helping teenagers learn, think critically and develop a more responsible approach to using artificial intelligence.
Users identified as under 18, or those who state that they are between 13 and 17, are placed in the teen experience. It includes enhanced safeguards covering areas such as self-harm, violence, eating disorders, dangerous activities and sexually explicit or graphic content.
Learning is a central component of the new experience. Its Study Mode uses guiding questions and step-by-step assistance to encourage students to work through problems and understand concepts rather than simply receive answers.
OpenAI has also added Responsible Homework Reminders to discourage shortcuts and promote collaborative problem-solving. Quizzes and Learning Visualizations are intended to provide additional ways for teenagers to practise concepts and reinforce their understanding.
The Study Hours feature allows teenagers or their parents to designate periods during which Study Mode will be enabled by default. The experience also includes more frequent reminders encouraging users to take breaks during extended sessions.
Parents who link their accounts with a teenager’s ChatGPT account can use Parental Controls to manage selected settings and establish Quiet Hours. In limited high-risk situations, parents may also receive safety notifications. OpenAI has previously outlined parental controls and age-appropriate safeguards as part of its broader approach to protecting younger users.
Alongside the teen experience, OpenAI has launched a Parents’ Guide to Learning with ChatGPT. The resource is intended to help parents understand the teen experience, configure parental controls, support learning and encourage healthy AI habits at home.
