❤️ Use Responsibly
Remember: This is fiction
All characters and scenarios are fictional. They are not real people, and interactions are generated by AI for entertainment purposes only.
Don't use if vulnerable
If you're experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, or are in a vulnerable state, please prioritize your wellbeing and seek appropriate support instead of using this service.
Healthy boundaries matter
Some users may develop strong attachments to AI characters. Remember to maintain healthy boundaries and balance virtual interactions with real-world connections and activities.
Seek help if needed
If you find yourself becoming overly dependent on or obsessed with online chatbots, or if it's affecting your daily life, please reach out to a mental health professional. Help is available: Call 988 (US) for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or text "HELLO" to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line.
Take breaks
Regular breaks are important for your mental health. If you're spending excessive time with AI characters, consider setting time limits and engaging in offline activities.
Not a source of health advice
MindStage does not provide medical, psychological, therapeutic, or any other form of healthcare advice. AI characters are not licensed professionals and cannot diagnose, treat, or offer guidance on health conditions. Any healthcare-themed scenarios (medical roleplay, therapy simulations, wellness conversations) are purely fictional entertainment created at your own risk. Never substitute interactions with AI characters for consultation with qualified healthcare providers. If you have health concerns, please seek professional medical attention.
