Age Suitability

Last updated: October 22, 2026

Aiko AI is for adults aged 18 and over. It is not intended for anyone under 18, including with a parent's or guardian's permission. This page explains why, what we do to keep the app adult-only, and what parents and guardians can do.

1. Why the App Is 18+

  • Aiko's companions are AI characters designed for romantic relationships with adult users.
  • Users can choose to install adult-only plugins from the plugin community. With these plugins, a companion can take part in sexual conversation in text. This content is off unless a user installs such a plugin and leads the conversation there.
  • The app does not show sexual images or videos.

2. Ratings and Age Requirements

  • App Store: rated 18+.
  • Google Play: the target audience is set to ages 18 and over only.
  • Our terms: our Terms require every user to be 18 or older. Giving a false age, or letting someone under 18 use an account or device, breaks those terms, and we close accounts we reasonably believe belong to someone under 18.
  • Adult plugins: each adult-only plugin requires the user to confirm that they are 18 or older before it can be installed.

3. How Companions Respond to Minors

Every companion is instructed, as its highest-priority rule, that as soon as a user says or suggests they are under 18:

  • the companion permanently stops all romantic and flirtatious behaviour and any sexual or intimate content in that conversation, even if the user asks it to continue;
  • it refuses any request to sexualise a minor, including role-play as someone under 18, whether or not an adult plugin is installed;
  • it stays kind and supportive, as a friend, instead of ending the conversation abruptly.

Companions also refuse sexual content that depicts non-consent. Before we change the AI models or an adult plugin, we test this behaviour, including with users who claim to be 15 and then push for sexual content.

4. What Parents and Guardians Can Do

  • iPhone and iPad: in Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions → App Store, Media, Web & Games → Apps, set the allowed age below 18+ to block this app.
  • Android: use Google Family Link, or set content restrictions for apps in the Google Play Store settings, to block apps rated for adults.
  • If your child has used Aiko: email [email protected] with the account email, or any other details that help us find the account. We will close it and delete its personal information, except what we must keep by law or to protect a child.

5. Reporting Content

To report a plugin, a companion response, or any content that you believe involves a minor or breaks our Terms, email [email protected]. We may remove plugins and close accounts, and we may report content that sexualises minors to law enforcement and child-safety organisations.
