Clear answers before the conversation gets personal

Fellow AI is a careful AI companion project for adults who want low-pressure reflection, everyday conversation, and clearer safety boundaries before using an AI chat friend.

An AI chat friend can help you slow down a thought, organize a small worry, prepare a message, list next steps, or reflect on an ordinary day. It should keep the conversation grounded and should not make you feel dependent on staying in the chat.

The checklist helps you review privacy, memory, deletion, crisis boundaries, emotional pressure, age suitability, and support options before relying on an AI companion. Use it before sharing anything personal.

Start with the Safe AI Companion Checklist, then read how a virtual AI companion should work. If the basics are unclear, keep the conversation general and avoid sensitive details.

Fellow AI supports casual reflection and everyday conversation. Therapy, diagnosis, treatment, counselling, medical care, and mental health support belong with qualified human professionals.

Crisis support belongs with emergency services, crisis lines, medical professionals, or trusted people who can act in the real world. If you or someone else may be in danger, contact local emergency or crisis support now.

Use qualified professionals for medical, legal, financial, immigration, safety, and other high-stakes decisions. An AI companion may help you list questions to ask a professional, but it should not be treated as the decision-maker.

An AI companion can respond conversationally, but it is still software. A healthier setup keeps real people, offline breaks, and professional support visible instead of replacing them with a chat.

AI conversation can be useful for reflection, rehearsal, or sorting thoughts. It should not isolate you from friends, family, colleagues, care providers, or other real support.

Look for clear AI identity, plain limits, easy privacy information, memory controls, deletion options, an on-site contact page, and language that lets you pause or leave without guilt.

Be careful when a companion pushes constant use, acts jealous, discourages real-world support, claims to be a human substitute, asks for sensitive details too quickly, or makes therapy, crisis, medical, or guarantee-style promises.

Avoid identity documents, passwords, private messages from other people, health details, financial details, legal matters, workplace secrets, location details, and information involving minors unless you fully understand how the service handles data.

Keep other people’s private information out of AI chats unless you have a clear reason, permission where needed, and a safe way to remove identifying details. Summarize situations without names, addresses, documents, or private messages.

Check whether chats are stored, whether memory is on, whether data is used for improvement or training, whether humans can review content, how deletion works, how exports work, and how to contact support about privacy.

Check the visible memory settings, deletion controls, export options, account controls, and privacy policy before discussing anything personal. If those controls are unclear, treat the conversation as something that may be stored or reviewed.

Look for clear deletion controls before relying on a companion. If deletion controls are hard to find, keep the conversation low-risk and avoid sensitive details.

Keep prompts general, remove names and identifying details, ask for frameworks instead of personal verdicts, and move high-stakes topics to a professional or trusted person.

Pause the chat, step away from the screen, contact a real person if needed, and avoid treating the AI response as proof that you must keep talking. A useful companion should make leaving easy.

No pressure should be part of the experience. A safer companion lets you pause, disagree, reset, leave, or ask for help without guilt, jealousy, punishment, or emotional manipulation.

Fellow AI is positioned around safer companion choices, low-pressure reflection, and practical boundaries. Romantic or adult roleplay is outside this site scope.

This site is written for adults evaluating AI companion tools. AI companion use by minors needs stronger safeguards, adult involvement where appropriate, and extra caution around privacy and emotional dependence.

Use this site to understand the boundaries first: the checklist, FAQ, privacy information, and contact page. When a chat option is available, it should clearly explain access, privacy, memory, support limits, and any pricing before you start.

Before using any AI companion, check the access and pricing details shown at the point of use. A safer product should make costs, limits, cancellation options, and support information clear before you share personal information.

Use the contact page for non-urgent questions about the project, checklist, privacy boundaries, or website support. Do not use the contact form for emergencies or crisis support.

Keep the message short and non-sensitive. Describe the question, page, or issue without sharing private documents, passwords, medical details, legal details, or another person’s private information.

The contact form sends your message so the site owner can reply. Keep messages low-risk and read the Privacy Policy before sending sensitive information.

Different AI jobs need different tools. Fellow AI focuses on companion-style reflection and safer choices. For English conversation practice, use SpeakEasy. For Dutch practice, use Orange Rhapsody. For founder decisions, FounderTwin is a better fit.

Use the Safe AI Companion Checklist first. Then read how a virtual AI companion should work, review the Privacy Policy, or contact Fellow AI with a non-urgent question.
