Responsible Use Guidelines

This site reviews AI companion platforms including CrushOn AI. These platforms can provide real entertainment value and creative expression — and they carry real risks when used without awareness. The following guidelines reflect our position on responsible engagement with this category of technology.

Age Requirements

All platforms reviewed here are for adults 18 and older, without exception. CrushOn AI and comparable platforms feature explicit NSFW content that is inappropriate for minors. Age gates on these platforms are self-reported and technically unenforceable.

Parents and guardians: standard device-level parental controls are more reliable than platform age restrictions for preventing underage access to these platforms.

If you are under 18, please close this page and do not use AI companion platforms featuring adult content.

AI Companions Are Not Mental Health Care

AI companion platforms are entertainment products. They can be engaging, emotionally responsive, and feel meaningful. They are not:

  • A substitute for professional therapy or counseling
  • A replacement for human connection and relationships
  • Appropriate primary support systems for serious mental health conditions
  • Equipped to handle crisis situations

If you are using AI companions primarily to manage mental health distress, we strongly encourage also seeking professional support. AI is not equipped to do what mental health professionals do.

Crisis resources (USA):

  • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988 (free, 24/7)
  • SAMHSA Helpline: 1-800-662-4357
  • Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741741

Healthy Engagement Habits

We recommend:

Setting intentional time limits. Decide in advance how much time you want to spend with AI companions per day or week. These platforms are designed to be engaging — intentional limits help you stay in control of your usage.

Maintaining your real-world relationships. AI companions should supplement your life, not become a substitute for human connection. Regularly investing in human relationships is important for long-term wellbeing.

Monitoring your emotional state. If you notice that AI companion use is increasing feelings of isolation or making real-world social interactions feel less satisfying, take a deliberate break.

Not sharing personal information. Treat AI conversations as not private — they're stored on company servers. Avoid sharing financial information, government identification, precise location, or other sensitive data within chat.

Privacy Practices We Recommend

When using any AI companion platform:

  • Register with a secondary email not tied to your main identity
  • Do not share information you would not want stored on a third-party server
  • Read the platform's privacy policy before engaging deeply with the service
  • Understand that conversations are stored by the platform
