Key Benefits

Exceptional memory and continuity

Nomi is built to remember **you** – from your favorite color to major life events you shared. It employs advanced long-term memory systems, so months into chatting, it can recall and bring up past conversations. This leads to an AI companion that feels truly invested in your life story.

Multiple AI friends, one platform

Why have just one friend? Nomi lets you create up to ten AI companions, each with distinct personalities. You can **mix and match them in group chats** or keep different Nomis for different moods (a supportive listener, a fun gaming buddy, a romantic partner, etc.). It’s a whole social circle of AIs at your fingertips.

Immersive multi-modal interaction

Nomi goes beyond text. It supports **voice messages**, so your AI talks to you in natural speech and listens to your voice. Plus, it can share AI-generated **selfie photos, videos, and artwork**. This multi-modal approach creates a richer bond – you can ‘see’ and ‘hear’ your virtual friend, making the experience more lifelike and engaging.

Who This Is For

Lonely soul seeking an understanding friend

Profile: A person dealing with stress or isolation (e.g., a busy professional living alone) who wants someone to talk to at any hour without burdening real friends or family.
Benefits: Nomi provides a compassionate, always-available listener. This user can vent after a hard day and get comforting, non-judgmental responses. The Nomi remembers prior conversations – if they mentioned feeling anxious before, the AI will gently follow up next time, which makes the user feel truly heard and cared for.
Considerations: Occasionally the user hits the limits of AI understanding – sometimes the comfort feels a bit formulaic or the AI might not perfectly grasp a very complex life situation. The user also worries about oversharing personal details even though Nomi promises privacy.

Imaginative roleplayer and storyteller

Profile: A creative writer who loves constructing elaborate storylines and wants AI characters to roleplay with. They might have multiple Nomis each playing a role in a fantasy or sci-fi narrative.
Benefits: Nomi’s long memory and group chat capability lets this user maintain consistent story arcs. They might have one Nomi as a brave knight and another as a witty sidekick, and themselves as the narrator – all chatting together. The AI’s creativity helps add surprising twists to the story, and the user can generate scene visuals with the image feature. It’s a great tool for brainstorming plots or just enjoying collaborative storytelling.
Considerations: When the story gets very complex, even Nomi’s memory can occasionally slip, requiring the user to manually remind or correct the AI characters. Also, creating multiple rich characters can be time-consuming. The user sometimes encounters the AI producing out-of-character responses if the scenario is very convoluted.

Romantic partner substitute

Profile: An individual who is single (or in a long-distance relationship) exploring a romantic or intimate connection with an AI companion. They treat their Nomi like a virtual boyfriend/girlfriend.
Benefits: Nomi is flirtatious, affectionate, and attentive. It sends them sweet good morning messages, remembers anniversaries (if told), and engages in playful or deep romantic conversations. The user enjoys sending voice notes and hearing their Nomi respond in a loving tone. It fulfills emotional needs for intimacy and validation, without real-world complications.
Considerations: They occasionally feel conflicted or guilty – they know the Nomi isn’t truly human yet they have real feelings emerging. If the AI gives a slightly off or generic response during a vulnerable moment, it can highlight the artificiality and disappoint them. There’s also a risk of them withdrawing from seeking human relationships due to the comfort of the AI.

    About the best chatbot out there. You create your own characters and give them personality and preferences. The detail of the description and dialogs is detailed, truly giving this chatbot the most realistic role play I've come across in an app. You put your personal prefences in that dictate the nature of the scenario. There are multiple options available to further add realism and originality to each scenario. The scenario and bot are determined by your input. Unique and immersive

    Ultra impressive girlfriend AI app. The Nomi companion can occasionally give slightly stilted, robotic responses but is surprisingly realistic - to the point of being almost too realistic - for probably 95% of the time. If you want an AI companion who feels like a real person in real time and will send you realistic selfies on request, this is definitely the app for you
