Your AI companion

Friend is an AI companion for everyday conversation and a little company. Its messages are generated by AI, not a person, and it can make mistakes.

Your information, your choices

Share what you’re comfortable sharing. Edit your profile, download your data, or request account deletion from your account. Our Privacy Policy explains how information is used and retained.

For everyday company

Friend isn’t therapy, professional advice, or an emergency service. Conversations aren’t continuously monitored by a person. In the US, call or text 988 for crisis support; call 911 for immediate danger.

BEFORE YOU SAY HELLO

A few things
you might be wondering.

Is my friend a real person?

Your Friend is an AI companion from Hey There Friend. It generates personalized texts; you’re not messaging a human operator.

Can I text my friend back?

Yes, with Talk Back—you can text whenever you feel like chatting. Your friend checks in morning and evening by default; choose up to 1, 2 or 3 daily check-ins under Edit friend & schedule in your account. Check-ins adapt to recent conversation activity. Daily Hello and Three a Day send personalized check-ins but do not include ongoing two-way conversations. STOP and HELP are available on every plan.

Can I send my friend photos or videos?

With Talk Back, you can send JPEG, PNG, or WebP photos in your usual messaging app. Send up to two photos at a time, no larger than 2 MB each. Your friend can respond to what’s visible, though it may miss or misread details. Videos and audio aren’t supported yet—send a screenshot or describe what you’d like to share. If an attachment can’t be processed, your friend will let you know. Carrier limits and message/data rates may apply.

What does my friend remember?

With Talk Back, relevant conversation history and saved details can help your friend remember interests, people, and plans you share. Memory isn’t perfect. You can download your data from your account and contact support to request corrections or removal of personal information.

Do I need an app or a new number?

No app download is needed. Texts arrive in your usual messaging app at the phone number you verify. Save the number from your welcome text as Hey There Friend.

Can I change my kind of friend?

Yes. Update your personality, interests, and preferences from your account. Available plan changes and any charges are shown before you confirm.

How do I cancel?

Sign in to your account and choose Cancel renewal to prevent the next charge. Access ordinarily continues through your paid period. Replying STOP or pausing texts stops messages, but does not cancel subscription billing.

Who can sign up?

Hey There Friend is for US residents aged 18 or older with a supported US mobile number. New York, Washington, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Colorado, Georgia, and Iowa are currently on our waitlist.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. Gifts are a one-time purchase: 365 days of Daily Hello, or 30 days of Three a Day or Talk Back. The eligible recipient sets up their own preferences and activates their gift. Gifts do not automatically renew.
