Questions
Is the Evening Companion a real person?

Is it free?
Yes. The Evening Companion is free and needs no account.
Is my conversation recorded?
HomeWise does not save the conversation or record your voice. What you type is sent to our AI provider to write each reply. If you end with Goodnight, one short line can be kept on your own phone for 14 days, and you can forget it at any time.
Which languages does it speak?
Every companion speaks English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil, by text or out loud.
What if it is an emergency?
The Companion is not for emergencies. If someone is in danger, call 995. For emotional crisis support, Samaritans of Singapore (1767) and National Mindline (1771) are open 24 hours.
