About 1800chat
What is 1800chat?
A small guide site and a calm front door. We explain AI companions in plain language, and the Start talking button sends you to an AI companion app. We don’t run the chat ourselves.
Which app does Start talking open?
Nomi (nomi.ai), an AI companion app for adults. We link to it as an affiliate, so we may earn a commission if you sign up.
Is it a real person?
No. You’ll be talking with software designed to listen and reply, not a human.
Who is it for?
Adults (18+) who want calm company: late nights, quiet mornings, days that won’t settle. It isn’t a dating app. If nights are when you need it most, see using an AI companion late at night.
Is this adult or NSFW?
1800chat is about calm companionship and conversation, not explicit content. Nomi is an 18+ app with its own content settings and rules, which you can read in the app.
How is an AI companion different from ChatGPT?
General assistants are built for tasks and answers. Companions are built for ongoing conversation, memory of your life, and a warmer tone. See the side-by-side comparison.
Cost and privacy
Is it free?
Nomi is free to start, with daily limits. A paid plan removes most limits and adds voice and group chats. Details in free vs paid on Nomi.
How do I cancel a paid plan?
Cancel wherever you subscribed. If you paid through the App Store or Google Play, cancel in your phone’s subscription settings. Deleting the app doesn’t cancel a subscription.
Where do my messages live?
In the Nomi app, under Nomi’s privacy policy, not on 1800chat. Read their policy before sharing anything personal.
What does 1800chat itself collect?
We don’t create accounts or see your chats. When you tap Start talking we record that a click happened (a random click id, a campaign name, and coarse location), and we use basic site analytics. More on the Privacy page.
Safety and limits
Is an AI companion therapy?
No. It can feel supportive, but it isn’t counseling, diagnosis, or crisis care. If you’re in crisis, call your local emergency number. In the US, call or text 988. Our loneliness guide lists helplines in other countries.
Can it give medical, legal, or money advice?
Don’t rely on it for those. AI can sound sure of itself and still be wrong. Talk to a qualified person.
Is it healthy to talk to an AI companion every day?
It can be fine as one part of your life. Step back if you’re skipping plans to chat, feel worse afterward, or are spending more than you meant to.
How do I start?
Tap Start talking on any page. It opens Nomi, where you can create a companion and say hello.
