>>>>> What are chatbots?

Chatbots are computer programs that you can talk to just like a conversation with a friend, but they’re
powered by technology. They listen to what you type (or say) and give replies or help based on what
you ask. Some are simple (like answering FAQ questions) while others can help with homework, make
stories, or solve puzzles.

You already use chatbots every day.

Here are examples of Chatbots you might already know:

  1. Help systems in apps and games

  2. Virtual assistants in banks or online shops

  3. Educational bots that help you practice skills

  4. Interactive characters that help guide you through activities

>>>>> Keeping Cyber Safe: Do’s and Don’ts

Flexers, just a quick reminder about our Dos and Don’ts
to stay cyber safe. From gaming bots
to study helpers, chatbots are everywhere but not all chatbots are built the same. Some are helpful, some are confusing and others might not be safe to talk to at all!
Find out here what is a safe and smart chatbot moment? Or is it a red flag that needs an adult’s help?

Dos and Don’ts:

✅ Talk to trusted, age‑appropriate chatbots (school learning bots, kids’ apps)
✅ Ask clear questions to get helpful answers

❌ Think before Mindlessly clicking links or downloading things
❌ Share your real name, address, school, phone number, or passwords
❌ Meet someone you only met online in real life
❌ Answer questions that make you uncomfortable. If you’re unsure about information
someone asks for, stop and check with an adult.
❌ Give out photos or content without asking an adult
