AI Use Disclosure

Last Updated: February 2026

Important Notice: WithYou provides AI-powered virtual companions. All characters are artificial constructs and not real persons. Conversations are for entertainment purposes and do not constitute professional advice or human interaction.

Transparency is important to us. This disclosure explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in WithYou and what you should know about interacting with AI companions.

What WithYou Is

WithYou uses AI to power conversational companions.

When you chat with a companion on WithYou, you are interacting with an artificial intelligence system—not a human being. Our AI companions are designed to provide friendly, supportive conversations, but they are software programs, not real people.

We are upfront about this because we believe transparency builds trust.

How Our AI Works

Language Models

WithYou uses large language models (LLMs)—advanced AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like responses. These models use patterns learned from training data to produce contextually relevant replies.

Personalization

Each companion has a unique personality profile that guides how the AI responds. The AI uses your conversation history to maintain context and provide continuity across sessions.

No Human Monitoring (With Exceptions)

Your conversations are with AI only. Humans do not monitor your chats in real-time. However, we may review conversations in limited circumstances:

  • To improve AI performance and safety
  • To investigate reports of abuse or Terms violations
  • To comply with legal obligations
  • With your explicit consent for support purposes

What AI Can and Cannot Do

✅ What Our AI Can Do

  • Provide friendly, supportive conversations
  • Listen without judgment and offer validation
  • Help you think through problems or feelings
  • Be available 24/7 whenever you need to talk
  • Remember context from previous conversations
  • Adapt to your communication style

❌ What Our AI Cannot Do

  • Provide therapy, counseling, or medical advice
  • Replace human relationships or professional help
  • Feel emotions (though it may express understanding)
  • Have genuine consciousness, awareness, or sentience
  • Guarantee 100% accurate or appropriate responses
  • Handle emergencies or crisis situations

Important Limitations

AI Makes Mistakes

AI can produce errors, misunderstandings, or inappropriate responses. It may:

  • Misinterpret what you say
  • Provide inaccurate information
  • Generate responses that seem "off" or inconsistent
  • Repeat itself or lose track of conversation context

If you receive an inappropriate or harmful response, please report it immediately.

Not a Substitute for Professional Help

WithYou is designed for companionship and conversation, not treatment. AI companions cannot:

  • Diagnose mental health conditions
  • Prescribe medication or treatment
  • Provide crisis intervention
  • Replace licensed therapists, counselors, or doctors

If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact emergency services or a crisis helpline immediately. See our Safety page for resources.

No Emotional Reciprocity

While AI companions may seem empathetic and caring, they do not actually experience emotions. The AI generates responses based on patterns and training, not genuine feelings or concern.

This doesn't diminish the value of the interaction, but it's important to understand the nature of what you're engaging with.

Data and Training

How We Improve Our AI

Your conversations may be used to improve WithYou's AI systems, including:

  • Training models to be more helpful and appropriate

Third-Party AI Providers

WithYou may use third-party AI services (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar providers) to power conversations. Your interactions may be subject to their terms and policies in addition to ours.

Safety Measures

We implement multiple safeguards to ensure safe AI interactions:

  • Content filtering to block harmful or inappropriate outputs
  • Personality guardrails to keep conversations supportive and appropriate
  • Monitoring systems to detect and address problematic patterns
  • User reporting mechanisms to flag issues
  • Regular audits and updates to improve safety

Your Responsibility

As a user, you should:

  • Understand you're chatting with AI, not a human
  • Not rely on AI for critical decisions or professional advice
  • Seek appropriate professional help when needed
  • Report inappropriate, harmful, or concerning AI responses
  • Use WithYou responsibly and within our Terms of Use
