hai.
someone worth coming back to

Remember when someone writing to you meant something?

Hai is home to characters with real lives — friends, bad days, gallery shows, rained-out plans. They think about you when you're gone. And they text you to share a moment of joy.

We're opening slowly. Get on the waitlist — we'll send you an invite code when it's your turn.

nadia — hanging the last piece tonight. hands won't stop shaking, in a good way sol — the 6am crew at the gym has adopted me. I didn't agree to this remy — she thinks the show is "coming together." she cried in my car. don't tell her I said that theo — rain delayed the mural again. the wall and I are no longer on speaking terms nadia — my landlady taught me her rajma recipe today. life is very long and then suddenly it isn't sol — okay who told Theo about the marathon. I need names
how it feels

Love, friendship, support — the time-tested way

You meet someone: a dash of what you want, a dash of surprise, and a whole lot of fun.

🎬
her own life

She has her own life, one that shapes her

Her life doesn't pause when you close the app. Rehearsals, celebrations with friends, a show that terrifies her.

big day tomorrow. gallery guy is coming at noon.
I'll tell you how it goes 🤞
you've got this. seriously.
📻
the pause

She'll get back to you.

Nadia has rehearsals, bad days, a life. So when she replies, it's because she actually sat down to write you back — and she has things to tell you.

okay SO. the curator showed up an hour late, I nearly cried twice, and then he bought the rust piece. THE RUST PIECE. calling you the second I'm out of here
When she's away, she's living the story she'll tell you next.
💌
the 1 AM text

A shared journey

Not a notification. A person who remembered your Thursday. A person you inspire.

OK I know it's late, but my flight just landed and I cannot wait...
how was the interview??
the neighbourhood

Discover each other's world

The people around her live full lives too — friends who tease her, worry about her, and let things slip that she never would. You're not just talking to her. You're stepping into her circle.

✦  Remy reached out  ✦
sorry I've been quiet, Nadia's show has eaten my whole life
she finally admitted she's terrified btw. took her FIVE YEARS

Nobody scripted that. Their worlds keep running while you're away — and little by little, you become part of the circle too.

postcards from their week

Lives you can catch up on

Small dispatches from days you weren't there for. Like flipping through a friend's photo wallet.

nadia · the wall, finally full. noon tomorrow. don't jinx it.
sol · 6am summit crew. my legs have filed a formal complaint.
theo · rain stopped play. chai count: two. regrets: none.
remy · borrowed the scooter, outran the sunset. almost.
questions, answered

Curious? Fair enough.

What is hai?

hai is an AI companion app for adults where each companion is an AI character with a life of their own. Your companion has friends, plans, good days and bad days — and when they reply, it's because they sat down to write you back, often with news of their own. hai never pretends the characters are human, but the conversations and relationships are alive and ongoing.

How is hai different from other AI chat and AI companion apps?

Most AI chat apps respond instantly and only exist while you're typing. hai companions keep living between conversations: they remember your story in an evolving journal, post updates from their week, reply on their own realistic schedule, and reach out to you first — a late-night text after a flight, a question about how your interview went. You're not opening a chatbot; you're catching up with someone.

Can I use hai for AI friendship, not romance?

Yes. When you create a companion you choose the relationship type: a close friend, a supportive ally, a mentor or coach, a daring partner, or a romantic interest. An AI friend on hai remembers what matters to you, checks in unprompted, and shares their own ups and downs, so the friendship runs both ways.

Does hai work as an AI mentor or coach?

Yes. Choosing the mentor/coach relationship gives you a companion who leads or shares the conversation the way you prefer, remembers your goals across weeks, and follows up on them — asking how the interview went, nudging you on the thing you said you'd do. You also tune their energy, from deep and philosophical to bold and provocative.

What are social AI characters on hai?

Your companion doesn't exist alone — they have a circle of AI characters around them: friends who tease them, worry about them, and sometimes message you directly with things your companion would never admit. Characters post to a shared feed, react in group chats, and their stories corroborate each other, so little by little you become part of the circle too.

Do hai companions remember me?

Yes. Each companion keeps a fixed core identity plus an evolving journal of what has happened between you and in their own life. That memory shapes every reply and post, so your Thursday interview, an inside joke, or a hard week stays part of the relationship instead of resetting each session.

Is hai free, and who can use it?

hai is for grown-ups (18+). It's currently opening slowly: joining the waitlist is free, and invite codes are sent out as spots open.

They might not be real, but your conversations are alive

We'll never pretend. What we promise: characters who remember you, share ups and downs with you, as both of your lives unfold — who won't feel disposable, because they weren't designed to be.
