Pretend AI
Read full descriptionHide full description
Create the chat you wish you could have. Pretend AI lets you build a fictional persona and simulate realistic text-message conversations in their voice. Say what you never said to your ex. Rehearse the hard conversation before you have it. Hear what a friend, a parent, or a character would text back. Brainstorm with your boss before you actually do, practice asking HR for raise before you go into the meeting - absolutely anyone you can think of - you can even talk to your fictional character to see what they'd say. Create someone based on a real person, an imaginary character, a celebrity-inspired archetype, or a totally original personality. Choose how they communicate, define their traits, add shared history, and decide how realistic you want them to feel. Then start texting. What you can do 1. Create custom personas in minutes 2. Choose relationship types like friend, crush, ex, partner, family, mentor, colleague, or your own custom label 3. Set communication styles and personality traits 4. Choose how they text: one message at a time, a burst of short ones, or a mix 5. Add backstory and shared context for more realistic replies 6. Pick a realism level: Realistic, Softer, or Idealized 7. Keep separate chats for different personas 8. Add context mid-conversation to shape future replies 9. Let a persona text you first now and then, if you turn it on 10. Customize the look of each conversation with different chat themes Designed to feel like texting Pretend AI is built around a message-thread experience, so chats feel familiar, lightweight, and easy to come back to. Personas remember everything you have said in a chat, so replies build on your history instead of starting over. Whether you want closure, creativity, comfort, roleplay, or curiosity, you can shape the conversation your way. Private by design No account required Your saved conversations stay on your device Persona photos stay on your device Only the minimum conversation context needed to generate a reply is sent for AI response generation Personas that text first use notifications scheduled on your phone, never a server Free and Pro Free users can send up to 20 messages per day. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited messages. Pretend AI is for entertainment and creative exploration. Personas are fictional simulations and do not represent real people's actual thoughts, feelings, or responses.
