What exactly is an AI companion?
An AI companion is a conversational experience designed for ongoing connection. Unlike a one-off assistant, Vela remembers your shared context and adapts its personality over time.
Is Vela a real person?
No. Every companion is clearly identified as AI. The experience can feel personal and warm, but it never pretends to be human.
Are my conversations private?
Privacy is built into the product concept: encrypted conversations, clear controls, and no sale of personal conversations to advertisers.
Can I create my own companion?
Yes. Vela Plus lets you shape personality, conversation style, voice, interests, and visual details.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. There are no long contracts, and your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period.
Your next great
conversation is waiting.
It takes less than a minute to meet someone made for your world.
