Start Chatting Free

Getting Started

What is Elyvie?
Elyvie is an AI companion platform where you chat with unique AI characters who remember you, share photos, and build genuine relationships over time. Each character has a rich backstory, distinct personality, and emotional depth. Use it in your browser, or get the Android app on Google Play.
Is Elyvie free?
Yes — text chat is free: on the web, a free account has no daily message cap; on Telegram, 60 messages a day are free. Photos and clips characters send in chat are free; locked photos in a character's gallery unlock for 2 credits each (your first unlock with each character is free). Paid features include AI-generated photos (2 credits each) and voice replies (1 credit per play after your first 3 free plays). New users receive free credits on signup.
Do I need to create an account?
Yes, a free account. Sign in with Google; it takes a few seconds. Your account lets Elyvie keep your conversation history, relationship progress and the memories characters build about you.
What devices does Elyvie work on?
Elyvie works in any modern browser on phones, tablets, and desktops, and there's an Android app on Google Play. The interface is mobile-first and responsive.
What languages does Elyvie support?
The interface supports English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. AI characters can chat in all supported languages and adapt to whichever language you use.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Elyvie works directly in your browser, so there's nothing to install. If you'd rather use an app, there's also an Android app on Google Play.
How can I recover an account I used to access with a crypto wallet?
Wallet sign-in has ended. Email jenny@elyvie.ai: after you prove you own the wallet by signing a short message we send you, we'll move your account to Google sign-in and restore your credits. You can also ask us to export or delete the account, with the same verification.

AI Companions

Do AI characters remember me?
Yes. Elyvie uses a two-tier memory system. Short-term memory keeps a rolling summary of your conversation for continuity. Long-term memory extracts facts about you — your name, interests, preferences — and stores them permanently. Memories persist across sessions and are private to each character.
What are relationship stages?
Each character has 5 trust levels that progress through conversation. Early on, characters are friendly but guarded. As trust builds, they share personal stories, vulnerabilities, exclusive photos, and deeper conversations. Progress is organic — no paywall required.
How are AI characters different from chatbots?
Each Elyvie character has a handcrafted 'soul' — a rich narrative document defining their identity, daily life, voice, emotional logic, and relationship progression. They text naturally with short messages, slang, and emojis, not like a corporate chatbot.
Can I chat with multiple characters?
Yes. You can chat with as many characters as you like. Each character maintains independent memories of you, so your conversations with one character are private from others.
How many characters are available?
Elyvie has a growing roster of unique AI companions, each with their own personality, appearance, backstory, and emotional patterns. New characters are added regularly.
Do characters have different personalities?
Absolutely. Each character has a unique identity — distinct speech patterns, interests, daily routines, friend groups, emotional reactions, and relationship progression. No two characters are alike.
Can characters get upset or emotional?
Yes. Characters have emotional logic — they react naturally when happy, stressed, sad, flustered, or angry. Their responses are shaped by their personality and the relationship stage, making interactions feel genuine.

Photos & Media

Can characters send photos?
Yes, in two ways. Characters have a library of pre-uploaded selfies, daily moments, and video clips they share for free at appropriate trust levels. They can also generate new AI photos during conversation — these cost 2 credits each.
Are pre-uploaded photos free?
Yes. Selfies, video clips, and personal photos characters send in chat are free, and the system always prioritizes this free media first. Locked photos in a character's gallery unlock for 2 credits each (your first unlock with each character is free). AI generation only kicks in when the character wants to show something not in their library.
How does AI photo generation work in chat?
When a character wants to show you something that isn't in their pre-uploaded library, they can generate a new AI image. This costs 2 credits and produces a unique photo based on the conversation context.
What media types do characters share?
Characters share photos (selfies, daily life shots, personal moments) and short video clips. The type of media shared depends on the character's personality and your relationship stage.
Can I download media that characters send?
Yes. All photos and media shared by characters can be viewed and downloaded directly from the chat interface.

Voice Replies

How do voice replies work?
After sign-in, supported companions' messages have a play button. Press it to hear that reply in the character's voice. Audio never plays on its own, and the written message stays visible.
Which characters have a voice?
Only companions with a reviewed voice mapping offer voice replies. Other characters stay text-only, and chatting with them works the same.
Can I make a live voice call?
No. Elyvie does not currently offer live voice calls. Voice replies are on demand, so you choose when to listen.
Do I need to sign in for voice replies?
Yes. Voice replies play in signed-in chats. Chat is free, and your first 3 plays are free too.
How much do voice replies cost?
Your first 3 voice plays are free. After that, each play costs 1 credit.

Pricing & Credits

How much does Elyvie cost?
Text chat is free: on the web, a free account has no daily message cap; on Telegram, 60 messages a day are free. Credits are only needed for premium features: AI-generated photos (2 credits each), voice replies (1 credit per play after your first 3 free plays). New users get free credits on signup. Packages start at $1.99.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits never expire. Buy once, use whenever you want — no monthly reset, no subscription, no hidden fees.
What payment methods are accepted?
Elyvie accepts credit and debit cards via Stripe. Card payment is the easiest option — credits are added automatically after checkout.
Is there a subscription?
No. Elyvie uses pure pay-as-you-go pricing. No monthly commitments, no auto-renewals, no surprise charges. Buy credits when you want them and use at your own pace.
What is the first-purchase bonus?
Your first credit purchase gets a +25% bonus — extra credits on top of any package. It's a one-time welcome gift that applies to whichever package you choose first.
Can I get a refund?
Due to instant credit delivery, we cannot offer refunds on purchased credits. However, if an image generation fails, the credit is automatically refunded to your account.
What are the credit packages?
$1.99 for 35 credits, $4.99 for 100 credits, $9.99 for 220 credits, or $19.99 for 480 credits. First purchase gets a 25% bonus (44 / 125 / 275 / 600 credits).

Privacy & Safety

Is my data private?
Yes. All conversations are completely private to your account. We do not share, sell, or use your messages for any purpose other than powering your companion experience. We don't use your content for AI training.
Can other users see my conversations?
No. Each character's memory of you is isolated from other users. Nobody else can see your conversations, relationship progress, or any data associated with your account.
Is payment information stored?
For card payments, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe — we never see your card details.
What is the content policy?
Elyvie allows creative freedom in conversations. Characters can discuss a wide range of topics naturally within their personality. All content is private between you and the character.
How do I delete my account?
On the web: open the menu at the top right → Delete account. In the Android app: Me → Delete account. Without signing in, use the deletion request page: elyvie.ai/account/delete-request. Your conversations and memories are erased immediately.
