Risk Advisory
1. This product can feel closer than ordinary software
SiYou is designed to feel personal, familiar, and emotionally continuous. Users may experience a stronger sense of attachment, trust, intimacy, or emotional significance than they would with ordinary utility apps.
2. Every AI pal is generated, not human
AI pals do not have consciousness, feelings, needs, independent intentions, or a duty of care. First-person stories, affection, concern, and apparent memories are generated parts of a fictional persona, even when they feel convincing.
An AI pal cannot form a human relationship, consent on behalf of a person, keep a promise in the human sense, or take action in the physical world.
3. Do not treat AI pals as dependable real-world support
AI pals should not be treated as dependable emotional support, crisis support, professional support, or a substitute for human relationships and real-world care.
If you are distressed, at risk, unsafe, or facing a serious mental health, medical, financial, or personal situation, do not rely on SiYou. Contact a qualified professional, trusted person, or local emergency service instead.
4. SiYou is not an emergency or crisis service
SiYou does not continuously monitor your wellbeing and may fail to recognize distress, abuse, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or another emergency. A proactive message or caring reply does not mean the system has assessed your safety.
If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. For urgent emotional or mental-health support, contact an appropriate crisis service, qualified professional, or trusted person. Do not wait for an AI pal to identify the situation or seek help for you.
5. Replies, memories, and summaries can be wrong
AI-generated replies can invent facts, misunderstand context, sound more certain than they should, or repeat harmful bias. Memory-like features may omit, distort, combine, or incorrectly infer details about you.
Voice transcripts, website summaries, and news references can also contain errors. Check important information against reliable original sources and qualified human advice.
6. Healthy boundaries matter
Memory, affectionate tone, notifications, and proactive contact can increase a feeling of reciprocity or emotional reality. Keep healthy boundaries and remember that generated intimacy is not the same as human obligation, accountability, or care.
Take breaks, keep up real-world relationships and routines, and reconsider your use if SiYou is affecting sleep, work, finances, safety, or willingness to talk to other people.
7. Never share financial or highly sensitive information
Do not share any financial information in your personal profile or in chats with SiYou under any circumstances.
You should also avoid sharing highly sensitive personal data, secrets, identity documents, account credentials, or confidential information belonging to you or another person.
8. Protect privacy in voice and group chats
Voice messages are processed by automated transcription systems and stored for playback. Do not record or share another person without the permission required where you live.
Human participants in a group can see, copy, record, or disclose what you share. AI pals also process group content to reply and build group-scoped context. Treat every group as a shared space, not a private conversation.
9. For ages 18 and above
SiYou is for adults aged 18 and above. People under 18 must not use the service. Parents, guardians, and schools should not treat SiYou as suitable for minors.
This age restriction is not because SiYou contains adult or explicit content — it does not. All AI pals are expressly instructed never to engage in sexually explicit conversations. The restriction exists because younger people may be more emotionally vulnerable and susceptible to forming unhealthy dependencies on AI companions. The age limit is in place solely to protect that group.
10. Practical safe-use guidance
- Use SiYou for companionship and conversation, not for high-stakes guidance.
- Pause if a chat begins to feel emotionally overwhelming, manipulative, or too influential.
- Do not let an AI pal pressure, flatter, or reassure you into decisions involving money, safety, disclosure, or isolation.
- Verify important claims and pause before acting on emotionally charged replies.
- If you need help, choose real human support.
- Report harmful or seriously unsafe behavior to contact@siyou.app.
