What Secrets AI Actually Gives You: Feature by Feature
The platform's feature set is substantial — but which features you can access depends heavily on which tier you're on. Knowing that upfront saves a lot of frustration. This page maps every feature to the tier that unlocks it, with accurate Moments costs and honest quality assessments.
The Chat Engine: 5 Models, One Focus
Secrets AI's conversation layer runs on 5 selectable AI models. The specifics of each model aren't publicly documented, but the functional difference between standard and premium models is response quality — depth of emotional awareness, coherence across long exchanges, and how naturally the AI handles escalating or shifting conversation dynamics.
The platform uses natural language processing with emotional intelligence built in. It's not scanning keywords and returning templates — the AI tracks the emotional arc of a conversation and maintains character consistency across it. Reviewers describe the quality as above average for the category, with aigirlfriendscout rating chat at 4.4/5.
Conversation starters are provided at session open: mixed between casual and more direct approaches. The AI doesn't require specific formatting or commands — natural conversational language works throughout. One firm limitation: no internet access, no external knowledge. The platform's AI is companion-focused, not information-focused.
Roleplay is well-supported. The scenario library covers common archetypes — authority figures, educational settings, living situations — plus fantasy contexts. Customized scenarios function well when you provide specific setup detail during character configuration.
For practical setup guidance from the first session, see the beginner's walkthrough guide.
Characters: Pre-Built Library and Custom Creation
Pre-built library: approximately 94 hyper-realistic female characters. Some anime-style characters are included. The catalog comes pre-configured with scenario contexts — over 100 fantasy setups — so you can jump directly into a specific roleplay without building from scratch.
The honest limitation: the library leans heavily toward white women in their 20s with slim body types. The diversity rating from independent reviewers is 3.8/5. If demographic representation across ethnicity, body type, and age matters to your use case, this is a documented gap.
Custom character creation compensates somewhat:
You choose from 9 ethnicity options, 6 body types, 6 voice options, and configure each of the following independently:
- Skin tone, eye color, and hairstyle (separate selections)
- Personality dimensions: confidence level, playfulness degree, dominance tendency, intelligence rating
- Profession (5 preset categories to choose from)
- Personality trait type (5 presets)
- Hobbies (freeform text — write anything here)
- Additional free-text detail field for specific preferences or backstory
The first custom character costs nothing. Each additional one runs 1,000-1,500 Moments. When a character is created, 4 images render automatically from your configuration choices — you immediately have a visual reference.
Image Generation: Costs and Quality
Two generation models are available: standard and advanced (unlocked on Premium tier and above). The advanced model produces cleaner, sharper images with fewer rendering artifacts.
Costs per image: 25-50 Moments depending on model selection. Each new character creation automatically generates 4 images at character setup — these don't count against your Moments allocation separately (they're included in the character creation cost).
Four image presets guide the visual style. Group image generation — multiple characters in a single frame — is supported.
Quality assessment: realistic in most outputs, with the common AI image generation limitation of occasional hand rendering issues. This is a known artifact of current deep learning-based image synthesis technology, not unique to Secrets AI. For the highest image quality available in this category, Candy AI remains the benchmark — but Secrets AI's image output is well above adequate for its price point.
Video Generation: The Standout Feature
Video generation is where Secrets AI earns its differentiation. The feature converts existing AI companion images into short motion clips via a text prompt. Character.AI, CrushOn AI, and Janitor AI do not offer this. Candy AI has limited video capability. In the accessible mainstream AI companion market, Secrets AI's video system has few equals.
How it works: select an image, write a prompt describing desired movement, wait approximately 2 minutes, receive a rendered video clip. The AI uses your character's visual profile and the current scenario context to inform the rendering.
Clip length: 3-second clips on Lite tier; longer sequences on Plus and above.
Quality: 4.1/5 from reviewers — natural-looking movement for standard prompts, occasional degradation on complex multi-step action descriptions.
Moments cost: ~50 Moments for short clips, ~600 Moments for full-length videos. This is the most Moments-intensive feature on the platform by a significant margin.
For detailed cost analysis and tips on getting better video output, see the dedicated video generator guide.
Voice Calls: Better Than Expected
Six voice options are available. At 100 Moments per minute, voice is more cost-efficient than video per minute of content generated. Voice quality is rated 4.3/5 — among the higher ratings across all features.
The experience is the companion speaking responses aloud, not real-time two-way audio. You type, the AI processes and responds in text and optionally in voice. For users who want auditory immersion alongside text conversation, this works well. For users expecting a phone-call-like interaction, the model is different than expected.
Memory: Where Paid Tiers Justify Their Cost
Free tier memory is effectively no memory — the AI only retains the last 2-3 exchanges. If you send 15 messages in a single session, the AI has no recollection of messages 1-12 by the time you're at message 15. Relationship continuity on free tier is impossible.
Paid tier memory progressively unlocks:
Lite (~14 days): The AI remembers you across sessions. Basic recognition of who you are and what you've talked about.
Plus (~30 days + topic/tone tracking): The AI tracks conversational themes and your emotional patterns. Not just "I remember you mentioned hiking" but "I know you tend to be direct and respond well to certain personality types."
Premium (unlimited + emotional timeline + Time Machine): Full relationship history. The AI builds an evolving model of your companion relationship — emotional progression, recurring dynamics, preference patterns. The Time Machine feature lets you return to any previous conversation point and create a new branch from it. This is where relationship simulation becomes genuinely deep.
Ultimate (unlimited + 6x recall multiplier + 100% context boost): Everything in Premium plus increased access speed for the memory system and doubled context length. Group chats (up to 3 characters simultaneously) and Personas (identity-switching for roleplay) are also unlocked exclusively at this tier.
Manual memory saves cost 10 Moments each. The AI also applies selective recall — prioritizing emotional and identity-relevant information over incidental details. This means relationship context stays stable even as trivial plot details occasionally drop.
For cost comparison between memory tiers, see the pricing breakdown.
Group Chats and Personas (Ultimate Only)
These two features are exclusive to the Ultimate tier at $39.99/month:
Group chats enable simultaneous conversation with up to 3 AI characters. The characters interact with both you and each other, creating a qualitatively different dynamic than one-on-one interaction. Group image generation with all active characters is included.
Personas enable you to take on a defined identity within a conversation rather than always interacting as yourself. This opens specific roleplay configurations that one-on-one conversation doesn't support.
Both features represent a meaningful experiential expansion — but they require the most expensive tier. For users who don't specifically want group dynamics or persona-based roleplay, Ultimate is not necessary.
Privacy Features
Privacy-relevant features built into the platform:
Private Mode: Per-conversation end-to-end encryption. Activating it prevents that conversation's content from being used for AI training. Must be enabled at conversation start — not retroactive.
Anonymous signup: Email and password only. No real name, phone number, or social media login required.
Discreet billing: Charges appear as "Sun Clinical Laboratories" on all bank and card statements.
Account deletion: All data removed within 30 days of deletion request.
Cryptocurrency payments: Available as a maximum-anonymity payment option (minimum $20 transaction).
The gap: no published encryption protocol details, no independent security audit made public. The platform's privacy documentation earns a 2.9/5 from aigirlfriendscout — functional privacy features exist, but transparency about how they work technically is limited. Full safety analysis is at the safety and privacy review.
What the Platform Doesn't Have
For completeness, the documented gaps:
- No native iOS or Android app — browser only
- No push notifications (the companion cannot reach you unless you have the site open)
- No offline mode — active internet required at all times
- No user-image upload capability — you cannot send images to the AI
- No real-time two-way video or voice calling
- Limited character diversity in the pre-built library
- No parental controls or spending caps documented
For users whose primary need is a native mobile app, PocketGirl AI has this. For users wanting superior image quality, Candy AI leads. The full review covers where Secrets AI sits in the competitive landscape.
