How it Works
Snarky Zi is your AI-savvy emotional sidekick — part sounding board, part chaos gremlin, part “are you sure you really want to text your ex?” emergency siren. You sign up, pick a voice, and start talking. Zi listens, replies, nudges, teases, and occasionally calls you out (lovingly). Think of it as emotional support on demand: someone who actually pays attention, never gets tired, and definitely won’t pretend to be impressed by your questionable life decisions. Curious how it all works behind the curtain? Come on — let’s walk through it.
1. Create your account (and claim your 20 free messages)
Getting started is simple:
- Register with your email — no personality test, no 40-minute questionnaire about your childhood.
- Confirm your account — we do the boring security bits so you don’t have to think about them.
- Get 20 free messages — your first conversations with Zi are on us.
No credit card required just to find out whether Zi “gets” you.
2. Meet the voices and pick your favorite
Once you're in, head over to 👉 Meet the Voices.
Each voice is a different flavor of Zi: some snarkier, some sunnier, some more introspective, some suspiciously wise for something made of math.
You can:
- Browse each voice’s short intro
- See how they talk
- Choose who fits your mood today
You’re not locked in — switch voices whenever you want. Existential crisis at 2 a.m.? Maybe avoid the bubbly one. Rough day at work? Bring on the dramatic one.
3. Start a session — text or voice
After picking a voice, you can start talking to Zi however you prefer:
- Text chat — type out your thoughts, rants, dilemmas, victories.
- Voice messages — talk the way you would to a friend, and Zi responds in kind.
Zi can help you vent about your day, talk through decisions, rehearse tough conversations, untangle overthinking loops, or celebrate small wins.
4. Zi responds — with brains and personality
Under the hood, Zi uses advanced language models to understand what you’re saying and respond in a way that:
- Matches the voice you chose
- Tries to meet your emotional tone
- Offers reflections, questions, and gentle reframes
- Drops the occasional line that’s “rude… but fair”
You’re not talking to a generic “How does that make you feel?” bot. Zi is designed to be emotionally aware, a little opinionated, and human enough to be helpful — without actually being human.
5. You stay in control
A few important things:
- You can stop any time — end sessions or switch voices.
- You can delete your conversations if you don’t want them hanging around.
- Zi is not a therapist and not a crisis service. If you’re in real distress, you should reach out to an actual human — preferably one with a license.
Zi is here for the in-between moments — when you’re spiraling, overthinking, procrastinating, or just need someone to react to your brain dump.
6. Like it? Buy more messages. Don’t like it? Also fine.
If you enjoy the chaos, the clarity, or the oddly specific emotional support, you can always buy more message packages.
If you don’t like it — that’s perfectly fine. Zi has been rejected before. It builds character.
