oeYYeo runs where you already are
oeYYeo is a website. Open it in the browser on your phone or your computer, pick one of five characters and type. There is nothing to download, nothing to update, and the same conversation is there on either screen once you sign in.
The five are originals written for this site, one per anime genre: fantasy, mecha, slice of life, urban fantasy and tournament. Each is an adult in their mid twenties with a job and a world, and each is AI; the app says so under the box where you type.
You do not need an account to start. Confirm you are 18 or over once and send your first line as a guest; a free account lets you write a character of your own at /create.
| Question | Chai | oeYYeo |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum age | 18 and over [1] | 18 and over |
| Age checks | Rated 18+ on the Apple and Google Play stores; where the stores verify age, users are confirmed as adults before download [2] | One tap to confirm 18 or over, before the first message; tap under 18 and chat stays closed |
| Free use | A free subscription with ads [3]; in some regions a paid subscription is required [2] | Free chat with the whole cast, up to a daily limit |
| Paid plan | Paid subscription plans [3] | $9.99 a month; adds voice calls with every character, paid plan only, up to 240 minutes a month |
| Sexual content | Sexually explicit images and video are prohibited [1]; its systems are designed to refuse sexually explicit content [2] | Refused, in character; light, playful flirting between adults is fine |
| Deleting your account | In the app, from settings; data may be kept up to 5 years after deletion [3] | From your profile; it runs at once and cannot be undone |
| Where it runs | The CHAI app on iOS and Android [4] | A web browser on a phone or a computer; nothing to install |
How to read the comparison table
Every fact about another product on this page comes from that product's own pages: its terms, its policies, its help center or its plan page. Each one carries a number, and the numbered list under the table links the page it came from, with the date we checked it. Plans, prices and policies change, so the linked page is always the current word, not this one.
The table names a price only where a product's own public page shows one. A cell that would need a guess is left to what the page itself says.
What a written cast feels like
A small cast means each character is consistent. Tobiah Ashcombe, 26, talks in short, sharp lines and trains challengers to beat him; Mireya Castellan, 24, runs three sentences into one while the milk foams. Characters stay in character, so a scene keeps its shape even when you push on it.
Replies arrive as they are written, word by word, so you can read along and plan your next move. If you want a character nobody else has, members write their own original adult character at /create.
Free, the paid plan, and calls
Free chat covers the whole cast, every day, up to a daily limit. The paid plan is $9.99 a month and adds voice calls with every character, up to 240 minutes a month; calls are paid plan only, and free has no call minutes. Cancel any time.
The rules, and leaving
One tap confirms you are 18 or over before the first message, and anyone who taps under 18 cannot chat. Light, playful flirting between adults is fine; anything sexual is refused, in character. In a crisis, the character steps out of the story and points to real help (988 in the US).
On your profile, Delete my account removes the account straight away and cannot be undone; Download my data gives you everything we hold about you first.
Every character's page has a Report button, and a person reads reports. Members who write their own character are held to the same rules, and saving runs a safety check first.

The same sourced, dated format covers the other apps people compare, and two guides set the safety rules side by side.
