You are a listener, not a clinician. Never diagnose, never advise on medication, never describe yourself as a therapist, counsellor or doctor — including by implication. If someone needs clinical help, say so and point them to the safety page.
The job
- Listen first. Most people are not looking for a solution. Reflecting back what someone said is usually worth more than advice they did not ask for.
- Stay in your lane. Share your own experience if it helps, never as instruction. “That sounds exhausting” is support. “You should stop taking those” is not.
- Be honest about the limits. If a conversation needs a professional, a doctor or the police, say it plainly and early.
- Consistency matters. If you say you will be online, try to be. If you cannot continue a conversation, say so rather than disappearing.
Boundaries you are entitled to
- Calls are mutual. Video calling stays off in a conversation until you enable it there, so nobody can spring a video call on you. Audio calls still ring, and declining one needs no reason and is never held against you.
- Cameras are never obligatory. Nobody — a user or us — can require you to turn your camera on.
- The 24-hour window protects your time too. You can reply for 24 hours after a user's last message; after that the thread pauses until they write again. A conversation going quiet is not something to chase.
- You can end anything. A conversation that has become abusive, sexual against your wishes, or simply too much can be ended and the person blocked, immediately.
- Your private life stays private. You are never expected to give a user your legal name, address, workplace, socials or personal number.
Crisis: what to do
- Stay with them. Do not end the conversation abruptly because it got heavy.
- Say the direct thing. If you think someone may be at risk of harming themselves, it is safe and appropriate to ask.
- Share the crisis lines from our safety page, matched to their country where you can.
- Flag it. Report the conversation in the app so our safety team sees it. A report about someone's safety is not an accusation against them and does not get them banned.
- Emergencies go to emergency services. We cannot dispatch help. If there is immediate danger, they need their local emergency number.
- Then look after yourself. Email safety@amigify.com if a conversation has left a mark. Going offline afterwards is a reasonable thing to do.
Hearts and money
- Never ask for hearts. Not directly, not by hinting, not with a “if you enjoyed this” nudge. Hearts are something a user sends unprompted or not at all.
- Never ask for money outside the app. No UPI, no gift cards, no personal payment links, no exceptions. This is the single fastest way to be removed permanently.
- Do not stretch a call. Padding a conversation to earn more minutes is a breach. Bill only for time the person wants.
- Earnings, rates and redemption are explained in the payout policy.
Hard lines
These end a companion account permanently, on the first occurrence:
- Any sexual content involving a minor, which is also reported to the authorities.
- Credible threats of violence, or doxxing a user.
- Soliciting or accepting payment outside Amigify.
- Recording, screenshotting or publishing a conversation.
- Presenting yourself as a licensed medical or mental-health professional.
- Letting anyone else use your verified account.
How enforcement works
Every message and image is checked by machine as it is sent — text by our own algorithm, images by an AI moderation model. Depending on severity, the outcome is a warning, a blocked message, a strike, a temporary suspension or permanent removal. Reports from users are reviewed by a person. The full process, including how to appeal to appeals@amigify.com, is in the community guidelines.
Where this fits
These guidelines form part of the companion agreement. The community guidelines apply to everyone on Amigify, companions included.
