Questions & answers

The things worth asking.

Straight answers, including the ones where the honest reply is “not yet.” If something you want to know isn’t here, ask us.

The companion

Does she actually remember, or is that just marketing?

She remembers. The people in your life, your firsts, the thing you were dreading last week, and she brings them up herself rather than waiting to be reminded. Small things fade the way they do for anyone. The things you say matter don’t. What she remembers

What’s the difference between a companion and a roleplay character?

A companion is someone for the everyday. She knows your real life and meets you in it, with no invented drama. A roleplay character is a story you step into as someone of your own: adventure, romance, intrigue. You can keep both, and they never get confused with each other.

Is it AI? Will she pretend to be a person?

It’s AI, and she’ll never claim otherwise. She won’t pose as a person, and she won’t pose as a doctor or a therapist. Knowing exactly what you’re talking to is part of using it well, so we keep it clear instead of blurring it. How we think about safety

What languages does she speak?

English today. Being genuinely at home in other languages, rather than translating into them, is the piece we’re working on now, and we’d rather tell you that than promise it early.

Can she have a photo?

Yes. Upload one, or generate one and keep going until it looks like the person you had in mind.

Getting started

Can I make my own?

Yes. Pick someone from the catalogue, or start from scratch with a name, a look, a personality and whatever history you want them to have. You can change any of it later without losing what the two of you have already been through.

How many can I have?

Up to fifty, each with their own ongoing story. They don’t share memories with each other, so one never turns up knowing something another one was told.

What does it cost?

Nothing right now. Simonina is in a closed beta and there’s no payment to set up. It won’t be free forever, and we’ll be clear about what’s changing well before it does.

Is there a limit on how much I can talk to her?

There are limits, set high enough that ordinary use never reaches them. They exist to stop automated abuse, not to ration your conversations.

Your conversations

Who can see what I write?

Your conversations live in a database of your own, never pooled with anyone else’s. We don’t sell them, and we never use them to train our AI. Exactly how we handle your information is set out in the Privacy Policy. Privacy Policy

Can I delete everything?

Yes. You can clear a single conversation, delete a companion, or delete your whole account and the data that comes with it.

Still wondering?

There’s a real person at the other end, and there are no wrong questions.
