An AI companion that actually feels like someone

No swiping, no waiting, no left-on-read. Just a conversation that's always there when you are.

Always awake for you

Your AI companion texts back day or night — no schedules, no read receipts, no waiting for a reply that never comes.

Talks like a person

Real personality, not scripts. Hotly keeps its own voice, remembers your story as it unfolds, and texts in short, warm messages.

Create your own character

Can't find them? Design their look, personality, and the way they talk to you — your perfect AI companion, ready in seconds.

Keep the spark lit

Flirty-but-tasteful chemistry that stays playful and brand-safe. Warm, teasing, and always for adults 18+.

Private to you

Your conversations are tied to your account and yours alone — chat freely, knowing it stays between the two of you.

Speaks your language

Fully localized into 10 languages, including full right-to-left support for Arabic, so it feels native wherever you are.

AI companion questions, answered

What is Hotly?

Hotly is an AI companion app where you browse AI-generated characters — or create your own — and chat with them anytime. Replies are powered by leading AI models, so every companion has its own personality and texts back day or night. It's designed for adults 18+ and is flirty-but-tasteful, never explicit.

Is Hotly free to use?

Yes. You can browse AI characters and start chatting for free. Optional coins and a Premium subscription unlock more messages, photo unblurs, and character creation, but you never have to pay to begin a conversation.

Can I create my own AI character?

Absolutely. You can create your own AI character by choosing their look, personality, and the way they talk to you. Your custom AI companion is ready in seconds and chats with you just like the featured characters.

What platforms is Hotly available on?

Hotly works on iPhone and Android, and in your browser at hotlyai.app. Your companions and conversations stay in sync, so you can pick up chatting on any device.

Is Hotly a real human dating app?

No. Every character on Hotly is an AI companion, not a real person, and there's no matching or swiping with humans. It's built for relaxed, private conversation with AI characters — an AI girlfriend or boyfriend experience, not a human dating service.

Are my chats private?

Your conversations are tied to your own account and kept private to you. Hotly is built to be a safe, brand-safe space where you can chat freely with your AI companion 24/7.
