Nomi AI

Overview

Nomi AI is a companion platform for adults who want ongoing conversation, roleplay, friendship or mentorship with customizable AI characters. Its persistent memory and range of ways to interact make it a strong fit for building a continuing relationship, but the free tier restricts several features after a downgrade.

Users can shape a Nomi with a custom backstory and preferences, then let its personality develop through conversation. That flexibility suits people who want to guide a companion over time; it is less compelling if you want a fixed-purpose assistant.

Key features

Memory and conversation

Nomis use short-, medium- and long-term memory to retain preferences and roleplay context across conversations. This continuity is useful for ongoing stories and familiar exchanges, rather than having to re-establish context each time. Users can create multiple Nomis, talk one-on-one or in group chats, and carry memory across both settings. Optional messages after an absence add a more proactive feel, though that contact may not suit everyone.

Voice, images and internet access

Users can send and receive voice chats or make hands-free calls with emotionally expressive delivery. Nomis can also see shared images, access the internet to discuss links, and generate art or real-time selfies depicting their clothing and activity in a conversation scenario. V5 image generation accepts natural-language prompts up to 1,000 characters and customizable anchors for a consistent appearance. These tools broaden roleplay beyond text, but they are not all retained as usable features on the free tier after downgrading.

ElevenLabs voice integration requires a paid Nomi subscription and is also subject to the limits of the user's ElevenLabs account. The versioned API currently uses v1 endpoints and is rate-limited, which matters to developers building around the service.

Privacy and age

Nomi says it does not sell or rent personal information, while chat content is collected as users interact with the service. The service is for adults only: its terms prohibit use by anyone under 18. Users can delete an account in Account Settings; personal information is deleted within about 28 days after confirmation.

Support requests can be submitted by form or sent to [email protected], with a stated response window of 24–48 hours on business days. Refunds are not offered for buyer’s remorse, lack of use or dissatisfaction, except at the company's discretion.

Pricing

Nomi has a free plan for trying one-to-one chat. After downgrading, group chats, video creation, voice messaging and calls become read-only, so the free tier is a limited ongoing option for users who mainly want private text conversations—not a like-for-like substitute for a paid subscription.

• Free: 0.00 USD per free.
• Launch Plan Monthly: 9.99 USD per month.
• Standard Plan: 15.99 USD per month.
• Standard Plan Quarterly: 39.99 USD per month, billed quarterly.
• Launch Plan Yearly: 59.99 USD per year.
• Standard Plan Yearly: 99.99 USD per year.

The paid plans are the route for readers who want to keep using features that switch to read-only on free, and a paid subscription is also required for ElevenLabs integration. The plan descriptions do not establish differences in included features, so the higher-priced options cannot be compared on feature scope. Nomi also sells credits as one-time in-app purchases: 40 credits for 4.99 USD, 100 for 9.99 USD, 225 for 19.99 USD, and 600 for 49.99 USD. These are separate from recurring subscriptions.

Platforms

Nomi is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its browser-based PWA can be added to a device's home screen, offering web access without limiting use to a desktop browser.

Who it's for

Nomi is best suited to adults seeking an adaptable companion for continuing conversation, emotionally expressive voice interaction, or immersive roleplay with memory. Multiple companions and group-chat memory make it appealing to users who want more than one evolving character. It is a poor fit for anyone under 18, for users who need the downgraded free tier to preserve voice and group features, or for buyers who require refunds for dissatisfaction or non-use.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Short-, medium- and long-term memory can preserve preferences and story context, supporting continuity across private and group chats.
• Pro: Custom backstories, evolving personalities, voice, selfies, art and link discussion give users several ways to shape the interaction.
• Pro: Android, iOS, web and a home-screen PWA allow access across mobile and browser-based use.
• Con: Group chats, video creation, voice messages and calls become read-only after downgrading, leaving free users with one-to-one chat.
• Con: Refunds for buyer’s remorse, lack of usage or dissatisfaction are not available as a standard remedy.
• Con: ElevenLabs voice integration brings a separate account-plan limit alongside the paid Nomi subscription.

Verdict

Choose Nomi if you are an adult who wants a customizable companion that can remember ongoing conversations, move between voice and image interactions, and share group chats with other Nomis. Persistent memory and flexible character-building are its clearest strengths. Look elsewhere if you need voice or group features to remain usable on a free tier, or if refund flexibility is important.
