Is it safe to talk to an AI bot on Telegram? What happens to my messages?
What happens to a message
To reply, the character takes into account your message and the conversation history. How we handle your data is described in the privacy policy.
Your history is stored encrypted so the character can continue the conversation. Photos you send aren't kept in the history.
How your data is stored
- Encryption. History and long-term memory are encrypted.
- Clearing. A character's history and memory are erased with a single /clear command (you'll be asked to confirm).
- Automatic deletion. After 90 days without messages, history and memory are deleted.
- Payments. You pay with Telegram Stars in Telegram, or by bank card or SBP on the payment provider's page.
For the full details, see the terms of service. Questions about your data? Contact @HelpCompanionVoiceBot.
You're in control
- What you share, and what you keep to yourself.
- When to erase your history and memory.
- When and how much to pay. There's no subscription.
- Who you talk to. Each character has its own history and memory.
Good to know
Bot chats on Telegram are regular cloud chats, not end-to-end encrypted secret chats. As with any online service, never send passwords, text-message codes, or ID numbers.
An AI companion is great for a warm conversation, but it's not a substitute for a professional.
