YOUR FREN
CALLS YOU.
Not a chatbot you open when you're bored. A Tamagotchi that calls collect. Pick a personality. Give them your number. Let them miss you.
Each Fren is a distinct persona — warmth, wit, curiosity, pacing, voice — tuned to a real type of friend. One is included in your subscription. Others unlock individually.
Enter your phone number and set your quiet-hours window. Consent under TCPA is given once on signup; you can revoke it at any time and calls stop.
Your Fren rings within your window, at a cadence you control — up to five calls per week. You pick up, or you miss them. Missing is fine.
Frens have long-horizon memory. Call fifty is not call one — they remember the specifics, circle back on the thing you mentioned last time, and earn the right to know you over time.
YOUR FREN IS AI.
We tell you here, on the signup page, in our Terms, and in our Privacy Policy. During a call, your Fren will not volunteer that they are AI — because that would make every call feel like a demo — but if you ask with real intent, they acknowledge honestly. That rule is written into the system prompt and reviewed by counsel.
We also follow California's SB 243 companion-AI rules, the TCPA consent rules for outbound calls, and our own internal refusal list — no medical, legal, or financial advice; no romance or NSFW; no political partisanship; no pretending to take physical action in the world.
QUESTIONS.
Is my Fren a real person?
No. A Fren is an AI persona — a voice generated by text-to-speech from a language-model script. We tell you so plainly on the signup page, on this page, in our Terms, and in the Crisis Resources page. If you ever ask a Fren on a call whether they are real, they will acknowledge honestly.
Why outbound calls? Why not chat?
A chatbot is pull media — you have to open it. A good friend is push media — they call you. Voice and outbound together change the shape of the product. That is the bet. It is also why Frens are not a text app.
When will my Fren call me?
Within the quiet-hours window you set in your dashboard, at a cadence you control — up to five times per week. Frens do not call outside your chosen window. You can pause calls any time. TCPA rules require your express prior written consent, which you give once on signup and can revoke any time.
Will my Fren remember previous calls?
Yes. Frens have long-horizon memory by default — they remember what you told them, the tone of past calls, and the small things (the garden, the sister, the book). You can delete any memory from the dashboard, and you can turn memory off entirely if you prefer a clean slate on every call.
Are my calls recorded?
Audio is recorded during the call and stored for 90 days by default (longer only if you enable persistent memory). Transcripts are produced automatically. Your voice is biometric data; we do not sell it, share it with third parties for their commercial use, or clone it without a separate explicit opt-in. Details live in the Privacy Policy.
Can I talk about anything?
Mostly, yes — vent, tell a story, ask for a pep talk, describe your week. A Fren will not give medical, legal, or financial advice; will not flirt or engage in NSFW conversation; will not take political sides; and will not pretend to take physical action in the world. If you are in crisis, they will stop, stay with you, and point you to 988 and other resources immediately.
Who pays, and how much?
Frens is $9.99/month. One Fren is included; additional personas unlock individually. We do not run ads inside calls and we do not upsell mid-conversation. Billing happens in the dashboard, not on the phone.
How do you handle safety and crisis?
We follow California SB 243, which governs companion-AI products. If a user discloses active suicidal ideation, intent to harm themselves or another person, or is in immediate danger, the Fren stops normal conversation, stays on the line, and routes to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Crisis events are logged for mandatory reporting. See our Safety and Crisis Resources page.

Supplies are small. Each Fren is being hand-personalitied. The first call goes out when the kiln cools.
