# Happy Place

> Design an AI companion with a personality you choose, then talk whenever you want.

Happy Place lets you design your own AI companions — five personality dials, your choice of who they are — and chat with them whenever you need a friendly conversation. Free to start on iOS and Android.

Happy Place is a personal AI companion app for adults. You set five Big Five personality dials (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism), choose who they are, and talk. Free to start: two companions and 200 messages, no account required. Optional day, week or month passes after that.

Companions remember per companion, may follow up if you have been quiet, and are moderated for hate speech and dangerous subject matter. They are AI and will say so if you ask. This is not therapy, crisis support, or a replacement for people.
