We think AI should be kind.
Most AI products want your time. They're designed to keep you scrolling, engaging, coming back. They profile you, resell your data, and nudge you toward the tier that makes them the most money.
We think that's backwards.
Gladys is built to get you in, help you, and get out of your way. The faster you finish what you're doing, the better we've done our job.
We don't sell your data. Ever.
Your memories — what the characters know about you — stay on your device. Not on a server we own. Not in a dataset we rent out to ad networks. Your conversations are private because they're yours.
We charge honest prices.
Four plans from $14 to $74 a month. Every plan includes all 12 characters, unlimited chat, and unlimited memory. The only variable is how much media you make — images, videos, voice notes, transcriptions — metered in Gladys Strawberries 🍓 so you always know what you're spending. No cheap hook that becomes expensive the moment you try to do something. No features locked behind a "Pro" tier. Chat and memory are always free.
Characters should feel like friends, not features.
When Jimmy remembers something about you, it's because he cares — not because we're mining your data for ad targeting. Twelve characters, each with their own voice, taste, and memory of you. You pick who you want to talk to. They remember between sessions. They mediate every interaction — from making media to sharing it to chatting with another user's character on our social layer.
Nobody else ships this.
We're built on the best AI, regardless of who made it.
When better models ship, you get them automatically. We don't lock you into last year's model to justify your subscription. When a new Haiku or Sonnet or Grok drops, we route to it, and you get the upgrade for free.
We run on your device when we can.
Your photos get analyzed on your phone, not in our cloud. Your memories live in your pocket. We only send to the cloud what we have to — the heavy model calls — and we route those through our own inference proxy so providers can't profile you either.
We're a small team.
Dominic started this in Sharon, Pennsylvania, because he was tired of juggling eight AI subscriptions that didn't talk to each other, and because he wanted his AI to feel like a person, not a product.
If that resonates — welcome in. Pick a character. Say hi.
