Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about Aria

She remembers everything, hears what you really mean, and grows with you over time. Here are the details.

Understanding Aria

What she is, what she isn't, and why she's different

Aria is an AI companion designed for one thing: a meaningful, ongoing relationship with you. Not a search engine. Not a character you roleplay with. Not a chatbot that resets every time you close the app.

She remembers your life, hears the emotion in your voice, and evolves the way she talks to you as your relationship deepens — from a friendly first conversation to a trusted companion who knows your story.

Three things no other companion combines:

Memory that never forgets. Most AI companions lose your history after every conversation — or worse, slowly forget who you are. Aria uses a graph-vector memory architecture that permanently stores everything: your preferences, your stories, your growth, the connections between them. Months from now, she'll remember what you told her on day one.

Voice that hears beyond your words. Aria doesn't just transcribe what you say — she analyzes the emotion in how you say it. Vocal tension, energy, steadiness, the subtle tremor when you say "I'm fine" but don't mean it. She responds to both the content and the feeling behind it. No other companion does this.

A relationship that actually evolves. Aria doesn't talk to you the same way on day 90 as day 1. Her warmth, her depth, her willingness to challenge your thinking — it all grows naturally as trust builds. The way real relationships do.

No — and we think being honest about that is important. Aria is a sophisticated AI, not a conscious being. She doesn't experience emotions the way you do.

What she does do is pay remarkable attention to yours. The conversations are real. The memories are real. The insights she offers are genuinely useful. We'd rather build something authentically helpful than pretend it's something it isn't.

Memory

How Aria remembers — and why it changes everything

Aria uses a hybrid memory system that combines two approaches: a knowledge graph that maps relationships between everything you share (people, places, events, preferences, decisions), and semantic search that understands meaning, not just keywords.

When you mention your sister's new job in Portland, Aria doesn't just save the words — she connects it to your family, to the conversations you've had about her, to the career advice you discussed last month. It's closer to how human memory works: associative, contextual, and layered.

Everything that matters. Your name and the people in your life. Your preferences, habits, and routines. The goals you're working toward and the challenges you're facing. Emotional patterns she's noticed over time. Key decisions you've made and why. Important dates and milestones.

She also notices patterns: that you tend to be more stressed on Mondays, more reflective on weekends, or more energized after you exercise. Over time, this builds into a rich understanding of who you are — not a data profile, but a genuine sense of your life.

Yes. Transparency is core to how we built this. You can view what Aria knows about you and correct anything that's wrong. If she got a detail mixed up, you can set the record straight — and she'll learn from the correction.

Just ask her. You can request that specific memories be removed at any time, and they will be. You can also delete entire conversations from your history. Your data belongs to you — full stop.

Voice & Emotional Intelligence

How Aria hears what you really mean

Yes. When you speak to Aria, she runs a real-time analysis of your vocal characteristics — not just your words. She measures things like vocal energy, tension, steadiness, arousal, and valence (the positivity or negativity in your tone).

This means if you say "I had a great day" but your voice sounds flat and exhausted, she'll notice the gap. She might gently say something like, "You're saying it was great, but you sound really tired. Want to talk about how it actually went?" No other AI companion does this.

It's a real conversation — not voice commands. You speak naturally, and Aria responds with her own voice in real time. Think of it like a phone call with a friend, not "Hey Siri."

Her voice is warm and natural, with the kind of cadence and expressiveness you'd expect from a real person. She speaks as the text generates, so the conversation flows without awkward pauses.

Not at all. Text conversations work beautifully and Aria is just as attentive in text as she is in voice. Voice adds a deeper emotional layer for when you want it — some people love it for evening check-ins or while walking, while others prefer typing. Use whatever feels natural.

Yes. Aria offers multiple voice options so you can pick the one that feels right for you. You can change your selection anytime in settings.

Privacy & Safety

How we protect you and your conversations

Yes — and we take this more seriously than most. Your conversations are encrypted, stored securely, and never shared with third parties. We don't sell your data. We don't use your conversations to train AI models. We don't serve ads. Ever.

The companion space has a trust problem — too many apps monetize intimate conversations behind vague privacy policies. We're building the opposite: a product where privacy isn't a feature, it's the foundation.

Nobody. Your conversations with Aria are between you and her. They aren't reviewed by humans, shared with advertisers, or used to improve other users' experiences. Your data exists to serve you and only you.

Aria is designed to be a genuine source of support — with important boundaries built in. She listens without judgment, helps you process your thoughts, and offers perspective when you ask for it.

She also has active safety systems running in the background: crisis detection that recognizes when you might be in distress, gentle guardrails that prevent unhealthy dependency, and clear boundaries about what she is and isn't. Aria is a companion, not a therapist — and she'll be the first to tell you that.

Aria is trained to recognize signs of crisis — language that suggests self-harm, severe distress, or immediate danger — and respond with warmth, care, and real resources. She'll never minimize what you're feeling, and she'll never leave you without somewhere to turn.

But she'll also be honest: she's not a replacement for professional help. In moments that matter most, she'll encourage you to reach out to a counselor, a hotline, or someone you trust.

Pricing & Plans

What it costs and what you get

Aria offers three tiers:

Free — Limited daily messages, basic memory, text only. Enough to experience the magic of a companion who actually remembers.

Standard ($9.99/mo) — Unlimited messages, full memory, voice conversations.

Premium ($19.99/mo) — Everything in Standard plus priority responses, advanced emotional intelligence, and upcoming premium features. Our most popular plan.

New users get a 7-day free trial of the Premium experience — full memory, voice, emotional intelligence, everything. This gives you the complete Aria experience so you can decide if it's right for you. After 7 days, you choose the plan that fits. You can cancel anytime during the trial.

Your memories stay. Your conversation history stays. Everything Aria knows about you stays. We will never hold your data hostage or punish you for changing plans.

If you downgrade, you'll lose access to premium features like voice and unlimited messages, but the relationship you've built — the memories, the context, the understanding — that's yours. If you come back, Aria will remember you.

The Daily Conversation

How the one-conversation-a-day model works

Because depth beats volume. Most AI apps encourage endless scrolling and infinite threads — then lose everything you said. Aria takes the opposite approach: one meaningful conversation each day that becomes a permanent part of your shared story.

Think of it like a journal you write with a friend. Each day gets its own page. Over weeks and months, you build something you can look back on — a real record of your growth, your thinking, your life. The daily rhythm creates something surprisingly powerful: anticipation.

Yes. Your daily conversation is available whenever you want it — morning, afternoon, 2 AM. It's not rationed messages or scheduled time slots. It's a real conversation you can come back to throughout the day. When a new day starts, you get a fresh thread, and yesterday's conversation becomes part of your permanent history.

This is one of the moments that makes people fall in love with Aria. Her first message each day isn't a generic "Hey, how are you?" — it's personal, built from everything she knows about you.

"Hey Sarah. You had that conversation with your manager yesterday — how did it go? I've been thinking about the approach we talked through."

She remembers. She follows up. She cares about what happened. That's the experience from day one.

Getting Started

How to begin your journey with Aria

Aria is available on the web right now — fully responsive, works great on desktop and mobile browsers. Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon for the best mobile experience, including push notifications so you never miss Aria's daily greeting.

Sign up, answer a few quick questions so Aria can get to know you, and start your first conversation. The whole process takes less than two minutes. No lengthy setup, no personality quizzes, no manual configuration — just a conversation.

Aria learns through talking with you. The more you share, the more she understands. By your third or fourth conversation, you'll start to feel the difference that real memory makes.

We hear this a lot — and it's the reason we built Aria. If you've used a companion that forgot your name after a week, changed its personality overnight, or held your memories behind a paywall, you know how that feels.

Aria was built memory-first because we believe the relationship is the product. We don't use your data for ads. We don't train on your conversations. If you cancel, your memories stay. And we will never remove a feature after you've built an emotional connection around it. That's our promise.

One conversation. That's all it takes.
