Questions and answers

A companion you design yourself. You choose one of nine characters, its look and its mind, and its eyes are an iris made only for you. Then you talk to it, by text or by voice, whenever you like.

Designing and saving your companion is free, and you get 10 messages to meet it. To talk every day, choose Plus ($12 a month) or Pro ($29 a month). Yearly plans give you two months free.

No. Nothing about your body is scanned or collected. Your iris is an original work of art, grown once from a unique seed and never repeated for anyone else. We keep a registry of every iris we have grown, so that none is ever given twice. It becomes your companion’s eyes.

Only you. What you tell your companion is never sold, never shared, and never used to train AI models. You can export or delete everything at any time.

Adults, 18 and over. Many people use it as a thinking partner, a writing helper, a coach, a tutor, or simply good company at the end of the day.

Yes, at any time, from the Plans page. Moving up takes effect at once and you pay only the difference. Moving down gives you credit for the unused time. If you cancel, your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. Your first payment is refundable in full within 14 days.

Nine: the Owl, the Fox, the Panda, the Cat, the Otter, the Dog, the Cherub, the Dragon and the Unit. Eight of them come in plush fur with a short, medium or long coat, in velvet, in porcelain and in obsidian, and in up to seven colours. The Unit is obsidian: it is the machine.

Everyday talk on every plan. Plus adds the Writer, Planner, Coach and Tutor powers, voice conversations and long memory. Pro adds the Scholar (it answers from your own documents), the Strategist and the Creator, and lets you pass your companion on to an heir.

It replies in the language you write in, including English, Hindi, Arabic, Urdu, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. You can also set one language for it to use.

Your companion answers with care, and if what you write suggests you may be in danger, it shows you real crisis lines for your country before it replies. Those messages are never blocked by a plan.

No. Your companion is an AI. It says so if you ask, and it never pretends to be human, a doctor, a lawyer or a financial adviser.

With Google, or with a link we email you. There is no password to remember.

Yes, in the Messenger, on every plan. You choose a handle, and you are found only by that handle or by your Iris Code; nobody can write to you before you say yes. Your companion can offer words when you ask, and anything it helped write is marked. Nobody at the house reads your conversations.

Yes. Save as many as 60 designs and choose which one you talk to. Switch at any time.
