Boilerplate, quick facts, founder soundbites, FAQ, and brand assets, for journalists writing about TalkHereNow.
Boilerplate
TalkHereNow is an AI Friend you can see in your real room: a conversation with a life-size 3D AI Friend who appears when you lift your phone and look around. No app to install, and no account required for everyday use. The intelligence inside is the same class of large language model that powers the chat experiences most people already know, the difference is you can see who you're talking to. Our founder spent over a decade in tech, most recently at NVIDIA. Built and operated by Talk Here Now LLC (Wyoming, USA), bootstrapped, with no outside investors.

Founder soundbites
Quotable lines.
Lines journalists are welcome to lift directly. Attribution: Founder, TalkHereNow.
"For years, AI has lived inside a text box. We're putting it in the room with you."
"The intelligence inside our AI Friends is the same class as the AI many people are already talking to. The difference is the interface, we're making it visible."
"The math is there. The experience is still a blinking cursor on a flat screen. That gap is the whole reason we exist."
Founder
Who's behind it.
Previously at NVIDIA
Our founder left NVIDIA to build TalkHereNow on a single conviction: AI's intelligence has arrived, but the way we experience it is still stuck in a text box.
The goal is simple. Give everyone a way to see and truly interact with AI, instead of typing into a box and waiting for pages of text to scroll back. An AI Friend you can see, life size, standing in your room, that anyone can reach just by opening a web page. No app, no headset, no download.
It should also feel normal, and stay on your side. TalkHereNow never sells your data, and never makes you hand over an email or create an account if you don't want to.
Press FAQ
Questions, answered.
How does it work without an app?+
TalkHereNow runs entirely in the mobile web browser. The phone's camera looks at your room, finds the floor, and we place a full 3D AI Friend into that space. Everything, rendering, voice, conversation, motion tracking, happens on the device or streams from our servers in real time. There is nothing to install. You open a link, grant camera permission, and the AI Friend is in your room in about seven seconds.
How is the AI so fast and conversational?+
Everything we do starts with one thing: inference that is fast, smart, and genuinely conversational. A life-size AI Friend that looks at your room and talks back in real time only works if the intelligence behind it answers almost instantly, so running on the fastest inference we can get is one of our highest priorities. On top of that we build the parts that make it feel real: the 3D AI Friend, the voice, placing it in your room, the safety guardrails, and the orchestration that makes it feel like someone is actually present with you.
What about privacy?+
Your live camera view and motion never leave the device, so we don't receive or store your video. Up to four still images you deliberately send (eye button, Roast, Object Story) are described once and never kept. Conversation memory is encrypted and tied to a random ID. We don't sell your data, and we do not train any model, ours or anyone else's, on your conversations. Full detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Why an AI Friend and not a "companion"?+
We deliberately do not use the word "companion." The connotation in the AI space has drifted toward romantic and parasocial use cases that we are not building for. TalkHereNow is for the mainstream, the AI you'd be comfortable introducing to your friends and your parents. We chose "AI Friend" because it's clear, warm, and bounded.
What about safety? Especially for younger users?+
The product is made for adults, with an age check at first visit (visitors enter their date of birth). AI Friends are built to refuse sexual content, impersonation of real people, and self-harm encouragement. We treat any bypass as a bug and fix it. If a conversation surfaces signs of crisis, the AI Friend breaks role and surfaces crisis-line resources. See Trust & Safety for the full refusal list and the crisis protocol.
How do I get a demo?+
The product is the demo. Open talkherenow.com on a phone or tablet (mobile Safari or mobile Chrome), grant camera permission, and the AI Friend appears in your room. Can't grab a phone right now? The visual walkthrough shows exactly what a user sees, screen by screen. For an editorial briefing or a walkthrough call, email info@talkherenow.com with the subject line "Press inquiry."
