What would you say if you could talk to one? Commune is an AI-powered roleplay experience built around real documented UFO encounter cases, declassified testimony, and decades of reported contact research. BUILT FROM REAL RESEARCH Every character in Commune is designed using actual documented cases. The Gray's responses draw from the Betty and Barney Hill case. The Mantis reflects behavioral patterns from the Simon Parkes and Jim Sparks testimonies. These are AI characters, but they're built from real evidence, not Hollywood tropes. CHOOSE A SPECIES. START A CONVERSATION. Browse species profiles, read the cases behind them, then open a chat. Each AI character responds based on the behavioral patterns documented in associated contact reports. Ask anything. EARN THEIR TRUST Each species has a trust system reflecting their reported behavioral tendencies. More genuine engagement unlocks deeper dialogue and higher-level responses. PERSISTENT MEMORY Your conversations and trust levels carry across sessions. Some species may send unprompted transmissions between sessions. The experience evolves with you. EXPLORE THE CASES Every character response connects to source material. Browse documented cases with photographs, location data, behavioral breakdowns, and original audio recordings. HOME SCREEN WIDGET Two species observe your home screen — commenting on your activity, your silence, your return. Updated daily. SPECIES AT LAUNCH Gray, Nordic, Mantis, with more added as cases are documented. Commune is an AI entertainment experience inspired by real UFO research and contact testimony. All characters are fictional simulations. Privacy Policy: https://www.clayy.ai/communeapp/privacypolicy Terms of Service: https://www.clayy.ai/communeapp/tos
