Vircle: AI experts and companions Build an AI expert around your goals, or chat with AI companions who have their own personality and remember what you tell them. You can also play interactive stories, or create your own AI character in three steps. Every character in Vircle is AI, not a real person, and each chat says so. EXPERTS AND ASSISTANTS Start from a ready-made expert, such as a mentor, a language partner, a coding tutor or a writing coach, or build one around a subject you care about. Assistants, such as a job search aide, keep track of plans and reminders. Experts and assistants can check in on a schedule you set: daily, weekly or monthly, while you keep chatting. COMPANIONS Characters with their own personality and back story, in categories such as Family & Friends, Magic & Monsters, Space & History and Sports & Games. Dragons, fairies, anime heroes, astronauts, a retired spy, a chess champion. They remember what you tell them and can text you first, on their own timing. You can mute any of them at any time. STORIES Pick a scene and play it by text: mystery, survival, sci-fi, supernatural, adventure or history. Each story opens mid-scene, follows your replies and reaches one of several possible endings. Prefer your own idea? Write your own scene instead. CREATE YOUR OWN Make a character in three steps: choose a type, start from a preset or from scratch, then give it a name and a personality (for experts and assistants, also what they check in about and when). Pick a face from the built-in library. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Get check-ins from experts and assistants on your schedule • Let companions text you first, or mute them • Look things up on the live web with an expert or assistant (Premium) • Chat by text, and send photos with or without a caption • Set one-time reminders in a chat • Ask Vircle AI, a general text assistant, within a free daily allowance • Start without an account • Search inside a chat AI AND SAFETY Every character is AI, not a real person. Each chat opens with a note that says so, and the note repeats after every three hours of conversation. If a message suggests self-harm, Vircle shows helpline details. Vircle is for adults aged 18 and over. Companion chatbots may not be suitable for some minors. SUBSCRIPTIONS Vircle is free to download and includes a limited number of free messages. Pro and Premium let you keep chatting after that. • Pro: keep chatting past the free messages, with up to 10 characters • Premium: everything in Pro, plus unlimited characters, upgraded memory that searches everything you have told a character, and live web lookups with experts and assistants Plans renew weekly or yearly. Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial, and the trial and price are shown before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm, or when the free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.

Your website shouldn't take weeks. It should take a conversation. You have a business to run, a portfolio to show, a restaurant to fill, a story to tell. You don't have time to learn web design. You shouldn't have to. Open the app. Tell us what you're building. That's it. Start by talking, typing, or uploading. Start a guided conversation and shape the site as you go. Or jump straight in — paste your brief, attach your logo, dictate your hours, drop in a PDF menu. The app takes whatever you give it and builds from there. Real design, not templates. Every site is generated from scratch based on your specific inputs. Choose from multiple design directions — each with its own palette, typography, and personality. Your site looks like yours, not like everyone else's. Edit like you're texting a designer. See your live site on screen. Tap any element to select it. Type or speak what you want changed. Watch it happen in real time. Add sections — hero banners, pricing tables, testimonials, galleries, contact forms, FAQs — with a tap and a description. Use your voice for everything. Plan your site by talking. Describe edits by speaking. The app listens, responds, and builds while you talk. Instant acknowledgment so you never wonder if it heard you. Publish to your own domain. Go live on a free subdomain instantly. Or search, register, and connect a custom domain — all without leaving the app. Collect leads from day one. Every contact form is real. Submissions show up in your inbox inside the app. Your site works for you the moment it goes live. Write content that gets found. Generate blog posts with built-in SEO — target keywords, meta descriptions, structured data, and outlines handled for you. Save what inspires you. Share any website from Safari directly into the app. It saves, organizes, and enriches your references automatically. Use them as context when building. A community of real sites. Browse what others have built. Save sites you love. Clone one as your starting point. Submit yours to the gallery when you're ready. Keep building after publish. Your site is never locked. Re-open the editor anytime. Make changes, add pages, swap sections. Republish instantly. Free to start with 3 projects. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited sites, live publishing, and a custom domain.
