My AI

Snapchat's built-in AI chatbot, pinned to the top of every teen's chat list. Kids ask it homework questions and confide in it. It's had documented lapses giving age-inappropriate advice, and it can't be fully removed on a free account — worth a direct conversation about what not to share with it.

Is “My AI” something to worry about?

No — "My AI" is ordinary 2026 teen vocabulary, not a warning sign. Knowing it just makes you harder to talk past.

  • Use it slightly wrong at dinner. You’ll get an eye-roll and a free vocabulary lesson.
  • If you’re seeing it alongside apps you don’t recognize, run the 30-second check Is it safe? checker
