What is TalkingStage?
TalkingStage is an AI dating experience for adults, with operator-created fictional personalities and non-explicit text conversations. Character names, stories, settings, and AI-generated photos are fictional.
Am I chatting with real people?
You are chatting with fictional AI characters. TalkingStage does not match you with real people or arrange real-world dates.
Who can use TalkingStage?
The experience is for adults aged 18 and older. Complete the adult-access and account steps before entering Discover or starting a conversation.
How do I get started?
Confirm adult eligibility, create your account, and choose your preferred name, personalities, and conversation language. You can choose English or English with Pidgin.
How does Discover work?
Discover shows one fictional character at a time. Swipe left or use Pass to keep exploring. Swipe right or use Meet to open a conversation. Filters and Undo help you browse.
What happens when I tap Meet?
Meet starts or resumes the conversation with that character directly. Opening a profile is a separate choice when you want more information.
Do I need a mutual match?
There is no mutual human matching step. These are fictional AI characters, and Meet takes you into your conversation.
Can I return to an existing conversation?
Return through Messages to continue an existing thread. You can also use conversation controls to archive, reset, or delete it.
Can I choose what a character remembers?
Review saved memories in Settings, turn memory off for a character, or delete saved facts. Conversation history and saved memories are separate.
Does deleting a conversation clear its memories?
Memories are kept by default when resetting or deleting a conversation. Use the explicit option to clear that character’s memories, or review them separately in Settings.
What if a message or photo concerns me?
Use Report on the message, photo, or character profile. The launch experience is non-explicit. Local preview reports demonstrate the flow and do not reach a real moderation team.
Where can I read about data and deletion?
Privacy explains the existing controls, local preview storage, and unresolved policy details. Account deletion can be reviewed in Settings. Final live retention periods and privacy contact procedures still require review.
Are payments required?
Any supported payment is voluntary support for TalkingStage’s operator. You can decline, ignore, or disable monetary requests. A payment does not buy an item or guarantee a romantic response.
Who receives a payment?
TalkingStage’s operator receives it. The character is fictional and has no bank account. Final merchant and checkout details must be supplied before public launch.
Does returning from checkout confirm a payment?
Only a verified payment result confirms success. A checkout redirect or screenshot alone is not confirmation. Local preview payment outcomes are simulated and no money moves.
How can I get help with my account?
Support links to account recovery and other existing controls. A verified production support channel, response expectations, and escalation guidance are still pending. The Support page does not submit a support request.
