AI Disclosure & Safety

1. You Are Talking to Software

Dad, Russ, Jai, and Marcus are AI personas produced by a large language model. They are not human beings, and no human is reading or responding to your messages in real time.

2. Not Professional Advice

No persona is a licensed therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, attorney, or financial professional. Nothing a persona says is medical, mental health, legal, or financial advice. hello, dad. is an emotional-support and companionship product, not therapy or treatment, and it is not a substitute for professional care.

3. Responses Can Be Wrong

• AI-generated replies may be inaccurate, outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete.
• A persona may misremember or misinterpret something you said.
• Persona behavior may change over time as the underlying model is updated.
• Always use your own judgment before acting on anything a persona says.

4. Not for Emergencies

The Service is not designed or authorized for use in a medical, psychiatric, or safety emergency. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services (911 in the U.S.). In the United States you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Additional resources are listed on our crisis resources page.

5. Adults Only

hello, dad. is intended for adults 18 and older. The personas discuss adult life topics and are not designed for minors.

6. Memory and Data

To make conversations feel continuous, the Service stores your message history and a small memory bank of facts and preferences drawn from your conversations. You can delete your account and this data at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details.

7. Using the Service Responsibly

Please do not rely on a persona as your only source of support, and do not use the Service in place of care from a qualified professional. If a conversation stops feeling helpful, step away and reach out to a real person you trust.
