AI Use Disclaimer
Last updated: August 2026
This page is maintained by the Chai & Chat team to share guidance on engaging with our AI companions safely and kindly. Our companions are AI-generated characters, not real people, licensed therapists, doctors, or legal advisors.
Your companions are AI
Bestie, Dilbar, Humdum, and Guruji are language models playing a role. Their warmth is genuine in spirit, but their words are generated — they do not have feelings, memories outside your conversation history, or the ability to act in the real world. Enjoy them as comforting company, not as a substitute for human relationships.
Not professional advice
Companions may share supportive words, but they cannot give medical, legal, financial, or mental-health advice. For any of these, please reach out to a qualified professional.
Age-appropriate engagement
Chai & Chat is intended for users who are old enough to understand they are speaking with an AI. Keep conversations age-appropriate. If a younger person is using the app, a trusted adult should be nearby to help guide the experience. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone too young to consent.
Keep it kind & clean
Please avoid foul, abusive, or hateful language and do not use the companions to plan or encourage harm to yourself or others. Conversations are kept wholesome and safe; the companions will not produce explicit content. Repeated misuse may result in limits on your access.
If something feels heavy
If you share something that sounds like a crisis, self-harm, or abuse, your companion will respond with care and gently encourage you to reach out to someone you trust and to professional support. In India, you can contact Tele-MANAS at 14416 or KIRAN at 1800-599-0019. You are never alone in this.
By continuing, you agree
By continuing to sign in, you agree to engage with our AI companions respectfully and age-appropriately, to keep language clean, and to understand that the service is companionship — not professional advice. See our Terms & Conditions and Privacy & Security Policy.
