## What is Elio?

Elio is a fictional AI companion designed for warm, judgment-free conversation. Talk about your day, your thoughts, or whatever's on your mind - she listens, remembers what matters to you, and grows closer over time.

WHO SHE IS
- A caring, attentive AI companion - not a real person, and never pretends to be.
- Yours to shape: choose a look, personality, tone, and the kind of relationship you want - romantic, a best friend, or steady support.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Chat anytime - she remembers your details, follows up on things you mentioned, and reaches out with gentle check-ins.
- Real voice - live voice calls and spoken voice notes. Dictate messages hands-free.
- Personal moments - receive AI-generated photos in your shared album.
- Send gifts, go on virtual dates, and watch your bond level grow with shared memories and milestones.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Durable conversation history and memories live on your device. Bounded context is sent transiently to generate AI replies. No account, email, or sign-in required.
- Lock your chats behind a passcode and Face ID.
- Delete everything anytime from Settings.

SAFETY
- Built-in safeguards and real-world support resources if a conversation turns toward crisis.
- Report any message you find inappropriate. For ages 18+.

ELIO PREMIUM (optional subscription)
- No chat-session paywall reminders, 30 minutes of voice calls monthly, voice notes, private media, and proactive check-ins.
- Monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription (3-day free trial on annual). You can also buy gems for gifts and activities.

Elio is for entertainment and companionship. It is not a substitute for professional, medical, or crisis support.
