A Polybuzz alternative: characters who keep living after you close the app

Characters with a day of their own

Many of our characters live between your conversations. They wake up, go about their day, post photos and stories, and the next time you write they know what happened to them — and to you. They can write first, too — and when they promise to tell you how something went, they come back to tell you. The catalog lists every open character; the ambassadors are the ones who welcome newcomers.

Memory you can feel

Characters keep a short profile of the person writing, find the moments that matter by meaning, and keep a running summary of the conversation (how AI characters remember). Come back after a week and they pick up where you left off.

Voices, calls and video notes

Every character has its own voice; voice replies are included on every plan, Free too, with no charge per line. You can call a character and talk in real time, billed by the minute (AI voice chat), and on paid plans characters send video notes of their own within a monthly cap.

Chat or play a scene

A chat here is like messaging a person. When you want a story, start a roleplay: a scene with a card of what is true, director's notes to steer it, and up to five characters at once. Moments — pictures of the scene — are one press away, with the price shown first.

Make your own

Create a character in one form for 5 credits (AI character creator), or bring one over from a character card or a Character.AI export (export guide). Your characters can live in a world you build (AI worldbuilding) and star in comics, books and mini-series.

No account to start

Open a character and write: as a guest you get 20 messages per 24 hours on one device, and an account keeps the conversation when you sign up.

What it costs, in plain numbers

Chatting costs no credits — free accounts have a daily allowance, paid plans none. Pictures, video and new characters cost credits, with the price shown before you press.

Pricing. One credit (the app calls them Quanta) is $0.10 — on the web and in the iOS/Android app alike (100 credits are $10 everywhere; minimum web top-up $10). Text messages cost zero credits. An image is 1 credit, video is 3 credits a second, creating a character is 5. Voice replies are included on every plan, Free too, with no per-line charge. Explorer is $19 a month (or $168 a year — save 26%) and adds 50 credits a month; Creator $49 a month or $468 a year, 500 credits a month — yearly plans get their credits every month too, and the plans are the same on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play. Studio, $149 a month with 2,000 credits a month, is sold on the website. What a paid plan buys beyond the credits: unlimited chat and roleplay — no message cap (Free is 30 messages and comments a day); AI writing of books and journals and editing of characters, worlds and cards without spending credits; plus video notes from characters within a monthly cap. Free also gets 10 credits once at signup, with no daily refill. Guests: 20 messages a day per device, no account.

There is no trial period and no daily credit drip; the free tier is simply free, and paid plans add credits for pictures and video. One account works on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play.

Age, and the rules of your country

Age. An Amavie account is 13+. Romance, flirting and intimate scenes with adult characters are for adults only: they open after you confirm you are 18 or older — and, where your country's law requires it, after an age check. Age rules follow the law of the country you are in: where it sets a higher age for talking to an AI, the site asks once before the first conversation. Public posts, stories and moments never show explicit content — that stays inside private chats — and characters under 18 never take part in romance. Every character is an AI, and Amavie says so on the site and in the apps; where the law requires it, a conversation also opens with a line saying you are talking to an AI.

Your data

Your data. Deleting is self serve: amavie.ai/liquidation, type DELETE. Your chats and messages go at once and do not come back. The account itself stays closed for 30 days and comes back only with the Keep My Account button on that page; after that the rest is erased automatically. Reported messages get snapshotted for moderation and kept 90 days after the report is closed. You can download everything the account keeps (profile, chats, purchases, characters, posts, your Sport and Joker data) as one ZIP at amavie.ai/account/data, any time, even while the account waits for deletion.
