Nomi AI
AI companion app with persistent long-term memory and multi-Nomi group chats.
About
Nomi AI, launched in 2023 by Baltimore-based Glimpse AI, is an AI companion app where each Nomi is a customizable character with a name, appearance, personality, and backstory. Its signature is a layered long-term memory system that carries context across sessions, plus a Mind Map view that organizes remembered people, places, and goals. Multiple Nomis can be added to a group chat, and premium tiers add voice calls, image sharing, and proactive messaging. The company reports over a million users (press-reported).
The freemium model offers limited daily messages and one Nomi; premium runs roughly $16 to $20 a month for unlimited messaging and advanced features. Limitation: companion apps raise real questions about emotional dependence, data retention, and crisis handling, journalists have documented harmful Nomi responses, and reviewers note the premium price is high for a text-first experience.
