The service is intended for adults aged 18 or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, whichever applies. Its Privacy Notice says interactions may be used to develop AI and moderation systems, and chatbot messages may be shared with third-party LLM providers.

Paradot AI is a chat companion service for companionship and entertainment, built around fictional, software-generated characters. Companions can retain details such as a person's name, job, birthday, or plans and bring them up in later conversations. Users can customize appearance, personality, interests, humor, affection, and message length. The service describes text chat, voice messages, and replies in a chosen tone, and it is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Plus costs $9/mo and includes unlimited messages, three companions, full long-term memory, and voice notes. Infinite costs $19/mo and adds unlimited companions, priority replies, and early features. Paradot says chats are encrypted in transit and at rest and are not sold, rented, or traded to third parties for advertising. Account data remains while an account is active, and deleted-account backups are purged on a rolling schedule of no more than 90 days. The service is for adults and is not therapy, counselling, or crisis support.
