# Family AI Agreement Template

Companion to [write a family AI agreement your kids actually helped write](/articles/family-ai-agreement).
Draft this together, in one sitting, with the child present — not announced after the fact.

Household: ____________________________ Date drafted: ____________________

## 1. Accounts

Whose account, for what, at what supervision level:

______________________________________________________________

Current product minimum ages checked (date-stamp this):

- OpenAI ChatGPT: ____________________
- Anthropic Claude: ____________________
- Google Gemini (Family Link): ____________________
- Other: ____________________

## 2. Private data — never typed into any AI tool

- [ ] Full names of other children
- [ ] School name
- [ ] Home address
- [ ] Photos of the child's face
- [ ] Health information
- [ ] Anything about another family member without their consent

## 3. Schoolwork

Our household's method: the
[homework AI-use decision tree](/downloads/articles/homework-ai-use-decision-tree.md).

The specific teacher's or school's rule always overrides this agreement's default. Agreed: Yes

## 4. Companions

AI companion apps (persona-based chat apps designed to simulate an ongoing relationship) are:

- [ ] Not permitted for [child's name]

Reasoning discussed together: ____________________________________________

## 5. Creation

Permitted: ____________________________________________

Never permitted:

- [ ] Images of real people without their consent
- [ ] Content depicting classmates or family members in situations that didn't happen
- [ ] Content intended to deceive someone (fake screenshots, manipulated quotes, synthetic voice)

## 6. Purchases

No purchase, subscription, or in-app payment an AI tool suggests happens without specific adult
approval — every time, no exceptions.

Agreed: Yes

## 7. Help-seeking

If something goes wrong — a frightening conversation, an off-feeling request from a stranger, an
image appearing somewhere it shouldn't, or a mistake the child is afraid to admit — coming to an
adult results in help, not punishment.

Adult(s) to go to: ____________________________________________

## Signatures

Parent/guardian: ____________________________ Date: ____________________

Child: ____________________________ Date: ____________________

## Review date

Next scheduled review: ____________________ (3-6 months out; shorter for younger children)

Revise earlier if: a new AI product enters the household, a violation reveals ambiguous wording, or
a real circumstance changes (new device, sibling reaching a new age band, school policy change).
