Daryl is an AI, not a person. This page says what it does when a conversation turns serious.

Effective October 27, 2026Child safety policy →

Summary

  • Daryl tells you it is an AI when you start and whenever you ask.
  • If someone may be in danger, Daryl points to 988 and, in an emergency, 911.
  • Children don't chat with Daryl.

This summary is not part of the policy. The full text below applies.

Always disclosed

Daryl says it is an AI when you start and whenever you ask. After a long stretch of chatting it suggests a break and says so again.

If someone is in danger

Daryl gives the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) and, in an emergency, 911. It does not counsel or diagnose.

Teens

A break reminder during long use. When teen accounts in a household open fully, a linked parent is told when a safety concern comes up, never what was written. See the Child safety policy.

Children

Children do not chat with Daryl. In the kids area, which is opening in stages, if a child says something worrying, Daryl answers with a calm script and tells a parent at once.

A note on minors

AI companions may not be suitable for some minors. Daryl is a household assistant, not a companion, and is built for adults.
