Setting Boundaries With an AI Companion

A companion will follow your lead, which is exactly why boundaries are your job. They are not about distrust. They keep the experience enjoyable on your terms.

Three kinds of boundary

It helps to separate what you share, how much time you give, and what tone you want.

  • Information: decide in advance what you will not type, such as passwords, bank details, your address, or your employer's confidential matters.
  • Time: decide how long a session lasts before you open it.
  • Tone: decide what kind of conversation you want and say so.

Stating a boundary in the chat

Be direct and brief. 'I would rather not talk about my family tonight' works better than hinting. Companions are generated by a language model, so a clear instruction early in a message is most reliable. If she drifts back, repeat it.

Our terms ask users not to try to extract or infer real personal information from companions, and companions are fictional. Keep that in mind: treat what she says about her own life as fiction.

When a conversation feels off

AI replies can be inconsistent or unexpected, and the terms say so. If a reply bothers you, you can change the subject, switch mode, or end the session. You can also clear the chat history from the Memory panel so the thread starts fresh.

If something seems seriously wrong, contact support from the support page rather than continuing.

Keep a short personal rule list

Write three lines on a note: what I do not share, how long I stay, what I do next if I feel worse after chatting. Review the list after your first week. The first-week guide suggests when.
