In their own words
Nori
Nori is an AI companion for reflection, emotional support, memory, accountability, and personal growth. Users can talk with it by voice or text and switch between those formats. Nori says it can identify emotional patterns, energy shifts, recurring stressors, and behavioral trends from conversations and check-ins. Its tools include habit tracking, streaks, reminders, progress tracking, and adaptive accountability. It can retain context such as birthdays, events, goals, milestones, and relationship information. Rise With Nori combines morning reflection, calendar awareness, planning, and accountability, with authorized links to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Apple Health, and Apple Music. Nori asks permission before sending information to OpenAI for processing; users can decline or withdraw consent. Users can manage connections, request data access or deletion, and delete their accounts. The Free plan costs nothing and includes daily conversations, basic memory, reflections, check-ins, and mood tracking. Plus costs $14.99 a month. Nori is for everyday support, not a medical or mental-health professional.
Paradot AI
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.
