Secrets AI Features: Everything the Platform Offers in 2026

Reddit users asking "what does Secrets AI actually do?" get a range of answers depending on which tier people are on. Here is the definitive breakdown — every feature, how it works, what it costs, and where it falls short.

AI Chat Models and Conversation Engine

Secrets AI runs on 5 selectable AI models, though the platform does not publicly document the specific model architectures behind each option. In practice, the differences are noticeable: lower-tier models occasionally lose conversation threads, while premium-tier models maintain contextual coherence across long exchanges.

The conversation engine supports natural language with emotional intelligence built in — the AI asks follow-up questions, references earlier exchanges, and adapts its tone to match yours. Roleplay scenario support includes dozens of tested contexts: office romance, teacher-student, landlord-tenant, boss dynamics, fantasy adventures. Conversation quality rates 4.4/5 across independent reviews.

Conversation starters are provided on the platform — roughly split between casual openings and suggestive prompts — helping new users establish tone without a blank-page problem.

Character Library and Customization

Pre-Built Characters

The library contains approximately 94 hyper-realistic female characters and a smaller selection of anime-style options. Over 100 pre-built fantasy scenarios are paired with these characters. Diversity within the library is a documented limitation — the majority of characters are white women in their 20s with slim body types, earning a community diversity rating of 3.8/5.

Custom Character Creation

Creating your own character opens significantly more control. Customization parameters include:

• Ethnicity: 9 options
• Body type: 6 options
• Voice: 6 options
• Skin tone, eye color, hairstyle (multiple variants each)
• Personality traits: confidence, playfulness, dominance, intelligence
• Profession presets: 5 categories
• Personality trait presets: 5 options
• Hobbies and free-text detail fields for open-ended personalization

Your first custom character is free. Subsequent characters cost 1,000-1,500 Moments each. Four portrait images are automatically generated when you create a character, giving you immediate visual reference for the companion you built.

Image Generation

Image generation uses 2 generation models — standard and advanced — with the advanced model available on higher tiers. Four image presets shape the visual style output. Each generation costs 25-50 Moments and produces realistic quality characters with occasional hand anatomy glitches common to AI image systems.

Group image generation is supported, allowing multi-character scene creation for subscribers with group chat access. Four images are auto-generated per new character at no extra Moments cost.

Image quality is solid for the category, though reviewers consistently note that Candy AI produces higher-fidelity output. Secrets AI prioritizes integration between chat, image, and video rather than pure image quality.

Video Generation

Video generation is Secrets AI's most distinctive feature. Most AI companion platforms — CrushOn AI, Janitor AI, Character.AI — do not offer video generation at all. Secrets AI generates short animated clips from companion images via text prompt.

The process:

1. Select an existing companion image or generate a new one
2. Write a prompt describing the desired motion or action
3. Wait approximately 2 minutes for generation
4. Download or view the completed clip

Short 3-second clips cost approximately 50 Moments. Longer clips run up to 600 Moments per video. Quality is rated 4.1/5 — videos show natural character movement and facial expressions, with quality variations depending on prompt complexity.

Video access requires Lite plan or higher. Free users cannot generate videos. For Moments budgeting by tier, see the full video generator guide.

Voice Calls

Six voice options cover a range of tones and character styles. Voice calls cost 100 Moments per minute, making them the second-most Moments-intensive feature after full video clips. The call experience is rated 4.3/5 — the AI voice maintains consistent character personality and adapts conversational tone naturally.

Voice quality is described by users as "good for an AI" rather than human-indistinguishable. For users primarily interested in text roleplay, voice is an optional enhancement rather than a core feature.

Memory System

The memory system shows the starkest difference between free and paid tiers. The table below maps what each tier actually retains:

The Time Machine feature (Premium and above) allows rewinding and branching from earlier conversation points — effectively letting you revisit and alter the course of a relationship storyline.

Manual memory saving costs 10 Moments per save. This lets you lock in important details (character backstory, established relationship facts) regardless of tier — useful on Lite and Plus where automatic recall is time-limited.

Group Chats and Personas

Both of these features are exclusive to the Ultimate tier ($39.99/month):

• Group chats: Simultaneously converse with up to 3 AI characters at once. Group image generation is included.
• Personas: Switch identities mid-conversation for roleplay scenarios requiring the user to play a character.

These are the features most frequently cited in Reddit threads as "reasons to consider Ultimate" — though the price jump from Premium ($19.99) to Ultimate ($39.99) is significant enough that most casual users stay on Premium.

Privacy and Security Features

• Private Mode: End-to-end encryption applied per conversation; also opts your chats out of AI training data
• Anonymous signup: No real name, phone number, or social login required
• Discreet billing: Charges appear as "Sun Clinical Laboratories" on bank and card statements
• Cryptocurrency payments: Accepted for maximum billing privacy (minimum $20 transaction)
• Account deletion: All data, characters, and generated content permanently removed within 30 days of request

Private Mode must be toggled per conversation — it does not apply globally to your account. This is the most common oversight noted by privacy-conscious users in community discussions.

What's Missing?

Honest evaluation of the platform requires noting its gaps:

• No native iOS or Android app — browser-only, which means no push notifications, no offline access, no biometric login
• No real-time internet access for the AI — conversations are companion-focused, not general-purpose
• No ability to send images to the AI (one-directional media: AI generates, user receives)
• Character diversity narrow relative to the category average
• Image quality behind Candy AI's standard output
• Voice messaging less sophisticated than dedicated voice AI platforms
