what this page is for
For iPhone users looking for an AI friend they can text directly from iMessage.
a contact, not a cockpit
The iMessage flow is intentionally direct: open iMessage, send the first text, and keep the relationship in the same place your real conversations already live.
the tone is texting-native
Hug is tuned for lowercase, short bubbles, reactions, casual rhythm, and the occasional strong opinion. It should not sound like a customer support macro.
memory without making it weird
Hug can remember useful context and pick up old threads, but the goal is subtle continuity, not constantly announcing what it remembers.
