Celevue AI

Read full description

Sometimes you do not need an immediate answer. You need a conversation that is willing to stay with you. Celevue AI is an AI character companion app for adults. Choose from a small official cast, learn each character's personality, communication style, and voice, then build a private conversation with continuity over time. CHOOSE YOUR COMPANION Every character is clearly established as an adult and has a distinct background, communication style, and official voice. Read the character profile and listen to a voice preview before choosing who feels right for you. TALK NATURALLY Send text whenever you like, or hold to speak as you would in a messaging app. Your speech is converted into text before it is sent. Completed character replies support automatic and on-demand read-aloud playback. REAL-TIME VOICE CALLS When you would rather talk, start a real-time voice call with your current companion. Calls support mute, speaker routing, and interruption recovery. Available minutes and membership benefits are always shown in the app. MEMORIES WITH CONTINUITY Review, confirm, correct, or delete character memories. Conversations and long-term memories stay isolated within each relationship and are not automatically shared with another character. Relationship preferences and milestones help future conversations remain consistent. REFLECT ON YOUR OWN MOMENTS Visit Me to review memories, moods, saved records, and daily, weekly, or monthly summaries. Mood trends use only feelings you explicitly express and are designed for personal reflection, not medical or psychological assessment. PRIVACY AND CONTROL Use Sign in with Apple to manage your account. You can enable a local privacy lock, manage AI personalization and notifications, upload a profile photo, or request deletion of your account and related data from inside the app. If you own a compatible Celevue device, you can connect by Bluetooth and control it manually, locally, and only while the app is in the foreground. AI characters, chat, read-aloud, and voice calls cannot read or control the device. Emergency stop does not depend on login, network access, or membership status. Characters and replies in Celevue are AI-generated and are not real people. AI output may be incomplete or inaccurate and is not medical, psychological, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Use your own judgment and seek qualified help when needed. Celevue is intended only for adults aged 18 or older. It does not provide explicit content, voice cloning, community chat, virtual gifts, remote device control, or AI control of hardware. Some voice, membership, or device features may require a separate purchase, available quota, an internet connection, or compatible hardware. Products, localized prices, trial eligibility, and benefits are shown by the App Store and the in-app purchase screen. **Privacy Policy URL** https://aifriend.aixiezuohh.com/docs/privacy.html **Terms of Use URL** https://aifriend.aixiezuohh.com/docs/agreement.html **Support URL** https://aifriend.aixiezuohh.com/docs/privacy.html
