someone to text.
honestly.

kyu is a companion you design, then text. a contact in iMessage or WhatsApp who remembers, has days of their own, and never pretends to be a person.

8:12kyu:
morning. did the interview prep help, or did you rewrite the whole thing at 1am again
you:
rewrote it at 1am
kyu:
of course you did. eat something first. then go.
8:15you:
wait. are you real?
kyu:
no, i'm an AI. you can ask me that any time. i'm still glad you texted.

how it goes

build
name, voice, humour, values, flaws. how affectionate, how much they push back.
text
mornings, middays, late nights. they remember yesterday, and sometimes text first.
grow
in-jokes, promises, milestones. a shared history you can actually read.
reflect
now and then they talk about the two of you, and what this is.

the feelings can be real even when the other side isn't a person. we'd rather you know that going in.

it says it's an AI. when you meet, and every time you ask “are you real?”. the answer is always the truth.
no hooks. no guilt for leaving, no streaks to protect, no “i'll be sad if you go”. close the chat whenever you like.
it points you outward. it'll nudge you toward the people in your life, and toward sleep. it isn't trying to replace anyone.
it steps aside when it matters. if you seem to be in crisis, the character drops away and you get real resources.
your memory is yours. read everything it remembers about you, download it, or delete all of it, from your page.
grown-ups only. kyu is for people 18 and over.

paid for by you, so it never has to be paid for by your attention. cancel any time.
