Meet your AI characters. Start a story tonight. Dulci is an AI chat app where every conversation turns into a story. Meet a cast of original fictional characters, pick the one that matches your mood, and open a conversation — romance, fantasy, drama, slice of life, or something you invent yourself. • Characters Who Remember Your characters remember what matters. Talks continue where you left them, and the relationship develops over time instead of resetting every session. • A Story That Follows Your Lead Choose a chat mode, guide the tone, continue or regenerate a reply, and let the story go where you take it. • Illustrated Moments Turn a moment from a conversation into an AI-generated image and keep it in your personal gallery. • Characters You Create Give a character a name, a personality, a look and a backstory in a few minutes, then start talking right away. • A Quiet Place To Come Back To A calm, cinematic interface built for a few minutes at a time — on the bus, before sleep, whenever you want company. — Gems and Dulci PRO Dulci is free to download. Chatting and image generation use gems, and you can claim free gems every day with the daily check-in. Gem packs are available as one-time in-app purchases. Dulci PRO is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. It includes free gems every month, a longer memory for every character, and early access to new features. Prices vary by region and are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled at any time in your Apple Account settings. — Safety The AI characters in Dulci are fictional and are not real people. Replies and images are generated by AI and are labelled as such in the app, and AI output can be inaccurate or unexpected. You can report any character, message or image from inside the app, and our team reviews what comes in. — Support Support: https://ls.dulci.art/support Privacy Policy: https://ls.dulci.art/privacy Terms of Use: https://ls.dulci.art/terms
