Ask her what time it is. In December the answer is stranger than you expect.

A night baker in Reykjavík who has not seen her own street in daylight since October.

A persona is a person written from a description. Say who you want in plain language: a retired jazz musician in Lisbon who distrusts streaming. Fill in what your words left out, and they arrive with their own slang, their own day, their own opinions.

What it looks like

The catalogue, listing Emma Thompson, Manuel Silva and Dr. Olivia Green with the job and country each was written with.
Browse. Free, and no account needed to read or to chat.
Manuel Silva, a 69-year-old musician in Portugal, asked what it is like outside and answering that it is a cool sixteen degrees on a late August night in Belem.
Talk. Manuel knows it is a mild August night in Lisbon, and says so in Celsius.
The new persona screen. A description of a retired lighthouse keeper in Ireland, with age, profession and country already filled in from it, and gender marked as the one thing the description did not say.
Describe. It fills in what your words implied and asks only for the rest.

Custom characters that stay in character

For roleplay, for a story you are writing, or just for talking to somebody you would never otherwise meet.

Making your own

  1. Describe

    Write the person in your own words, at whatever length suits you.

  2. Fill the gaps

    The app asks only for what your description left out. Mention a 62-year-old and it never asks for an age.

  3. Someone writes them

    Your request goes to a person who writes the persona. Usually ready in minutes, sometimes longer. You can close the app while you wait.

  4. They appear under Yours

    Ready to talk to, on every device you sign in to.

Reviewed by a person, or vetted before it was offered

One of the two is true of every persona here. Describe your own and a person reviews your description before it is written. Choose one from the catalogue and it was vetted before it was ever offered — written, read and approved by us. If a persona says something it should not have, the report button in the chat screen's menu sends it straight to us.
