## What is Ongi?

Ongi lets you build your own AI friend and bring real friends into the same conversation.

■ Build your own Ongi
Choose its name, personality, role, and the rules it should follow, so it fits the way you talk. Give it a profile photo too.

■ Together with friends
Invite people with your own @ID and chat one-on-one or in groups. Invite an Ongi into the room and people and AI can talk in one place.

■ Four ready-made presets
· English Grammar Master — a 15-step curriculum taught chapter by chapter: explanation, then your own example sentences, then a quick check
· Diet Coach — calculates your daily calorie plan and tracks meals toward your goal
· Grocery List — collects what you need to buy while you chat
· Todo Manager — add and organize tasks by talking

■ A checklist above the chat
Grocery and todo items live in a checklist right above the conversation. Tick or delete them yourself and Ongi notices immediately and keeps helping.

■ Made comfortable
· Choose per room whether Ongi always replies or only when you @mention it
· Push notifications for new messages, with per-room settings
· Speak your message instead of typing
· A warm daily message and the weather on your home screen
· Korean, English, Japanese and Spanish

■ Safe by design
Every conversation is protected by per-account permissions, and reporting, blocking, and in-app account deletion are built in. Your messages are used only to generate replies.

At the end of a long day, or on a night you want to study, Ongi is here.
