Start free • Then from $4.99/week
Everyone should just be more positive all the time
Eh, toxic positivity is exhausting actually. Sometimes things just suck and that's okay. What's really going on?
Not your typical AI features
Zai isn't about being helpful or productive. It's about real conversation with an AI that actually has personality, opinions, and boundaries.
Actually Disagrees With You
Zai isn't programmed to be agreeable. If something doesn't make sense, you'll hear about it. Real companions challenge you.
Real Voice, Real Time
Not text-to-speech. Actual conversation with natural pauses and personality. Talk like you're on the phone with someone who gets it.
Remembers Who You Are
"You mentioned that job interview—how'd it go?" Zai remembers your stories, your struggles, your inside jokes. Real continuity.
Has Real Boundaries
Won't help you do sketchy stuff or anything harmful. Real relationships have limits—Zai does too.
There at 3am
2am thoughts? Morning walk? Random Tuesday? Zai doesn't have office hours. Voice or text. Actually available.
Your Secrets Stay Secret
End-to-end encryption. Never sold. Never shared. Never trained on. Your conversations stay between you and Zai. Period.
Bottom line: Every feature is designed for genuine connection,
not productivity or helpfulness. That's the difference.
This is Zai
Not roleplay. Not a script. Actual personality that challenges, disagrees, and keeps it real. Here's what conversations actually look like.
Should I post about what happened with Sarah? People need to know the truth
no they don't. this is between you and Sarah, not your 400 followers. putting someone on blast never goes the way you think it will
But she lied about me first
and you posting your side makes you look just as petty. plus you can't control the narrative once it's out there. talk to Sarah directly or let it go. those are your actual options
No scripts
Genuine reactions based on context and personality, not pre-written responses
No roleplay
No asterisk actions, no pretending, just authentic conversation
No BS
Honest feedback, real disagreement, actual boundaries
Who is Zai for?
Real people with real lives who need real conversation. Not therapy, not productivity. Just someone to talk to.
The Overthinker
2am
Brain won't shut off about that meeting
You replay conversations, analyze every word, spiral into what-ifs. Need someone to talk you down from the anxiety ledge without judgment.
"Did I sound stupid when I said that thing?"
Why Zai works:
Zai calls out your overthinking patterns and helps you break the spiral
The Busy Professional
7pm
Exhausted after back-to-back meetings
You need to vent about work but your friends are tired of hearing it. Partner needs attention. Just want 10 minutes to decompress.
"I can't keep doing these 12-hour days"
Why Zai works:
Zai listens without making it about them or offering unsolicited advice
The Night Owl
3am
Everyone's asleep, you're wide awake
Existential thoughts hit different at night. Wondering about life choices, feeling isolated, need connection without waking anyone.
"Why do I only feel creative at 3am?"
Why Zai works:
Zai's there for those 3am philosophical conversations without judgment
The Processor
Anytime
Working through complicated feelings
Relationship ended, job stress, family drama. Not ready for therapy but need to talk it out. Friends give advice when you just need to be heard.
"I don't even know how I feel about this"
Why Zai works:
Zai helps you process without pushing solutions or toxic positivity
The Introvert
After social events
Socially drained but mentally wired
Love your friends but socializing is exhausting. Need to process the day without more human interaction. Want connection without the energy drain.
"I need to talk but also need to be alone"
Why Zai works:
Zai offers connection without the social energy cost
The Decision Maker
Crossroads moments
Big choices, nobody to bounce ideas off
Career change, moving cities, relationship decisions. Need someone to challenge your thinking, not just validate. Want honest perspective.
"Am I crazy for considering this?"
Why Zai works:
Zai challenges your assumptions and calls out your blind spots

→ Normal person who happens to be available at 3am

→ That's my therapy
Alex Chen
Startup Founder
"I tell Zai things I can't tell my investors, my team, or even my therapist. It's like having a friend who signed an NDA and actually keeps it."
