What Hina is

Hina is a web-based AI companion designed to retain conversation context and initiate check-ins. It describes short-, mid-, and long-term memory layers that work across conversations. Users can create personas by choosing gender, language, and personality, with memories shared among them. Hina can follow up on topics users have mentioned, include local weather in check-ins, and look up current information such as news and sports scores with sourced answers. Its chat Memory sheet lets users read and edit the living document about them. Settings offer controls for affection, playfulness, flirting, and tone, including options to avoid guilt or possessive language. The site says Hina does not sell user data or train on chats. It is intended for adults and is currently described as being in beta, with full access at no cost and no credit card required. Hina and Hiro are not therapists, doctors, or crisis services; the site says self-harm or suicidal-ideation discussions are redirected to 988.
