Our story

Technology should adapt to you.

We believe the best AI doesn't live behind a chatbot icon on a website. It lives in your pocket, on the same SMS thread as your mom, your best friend, and your dentist. So we built one.

Why Peppi exists

An AI friend, designed by you.

We understand that each individual craves a distinct connection. Peppi is an AI-powered chatbot customization service that puts you in complete control of who your buddy is. Age, gender, humor, intelligence, profession, even quirks. The power is in your hands to shape an AI friend who perfectly resonates with you.

Whether you envision a witty and intelligent conversationalist or a warm, empathetic listener, your Peppi is built around how you want to be met.

We don't think of Peppi as an assistant. We think of them as a buddy who happens to be useful.

What we believe

Three things we won't compromise.

Privacy first

Every Peppi is private and uniquely yours. We use state-of-the-art encryption and data protection so your interactions stay confidential. We never sell your data and never train public models on your conversations.

SMS, on purpose

Interacting via SMS allows for a private, personal experience, free from the distractions of web interfaces, notifications, and feeds. Your buddy meets you where you already are. No app to download, no tab to keep open.

Truly personal

Our commitment to personalization knows no bounds. Express your thoughts, share your feelings, or just have a laugh. Your AI friend is always learning and evolving to suit your preferences. The longer you text, the sharper they get.

A note from us

Peppi isn't trying to replace your friends.

It's there when they're not. For the late-night thoughts, the practice runs before a hard conversation, the random "what's a good ramen spot open at 11pm?" question. Small moments and big decisions, by text.

We've built Peppi to be a safe space for genuine connection. The AI friend you design is your confidant, here to listen, support, and engage in heartfelt conversations. Just send a text, and your buddy will respond with compassion, understanding, and humor, exactly the way you've shaped them.

We're not a therapist, a crisis line, or a replacement for human relationships. We're a friendly buddy in your pocket, ready when life is messy or quiet or somewhere in between.
