OurDream & AI Girlfriend FAQ for Canada

OurDream is an AI companion platform — a service where you talk to AI characters through a chat interface, with personality, memory and customisation built in. It is the platform this site points to; it is not operated by us. This site is an independent guide, so we describe how platforms in this category generally work and link out to OurDream for the product itself. For what OurDream specifically includes today — current features, character library, account types and terms — OurDream's own site is the only accurate source, because those details change.

OurDream is a web-based platform, so it isn't distributed through a Canadian app store listing and there's no regional download to wait for. Whether it accepts Canadian users, and any restrictions that apply, is set by OurDream itself and can change. This guide can't confirm account availability, verification requirements or regional limits on OurDream's behalf — check the current terms on OurDream directly. The Canadian guide to AI girlfriends covers what users here typically look for before signing up.

No. ourdream-ai.ca is an independent informational website about the AI companion category. It is not owned by, operated by or affiliated with OurDream beyond referring visitors to it. We don't sell accounts, we don't host chat features, and nothing on this site runs AI of its own. Some outbound links are affiliate or referral links, which may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Where we can't verify a claim about OurDream, we say so rather than repeating a marketing line — that's the whole point of the site.

Yes — OurDream is reached through a web browser, so it works on a phone or tablet the same way it does on a desktop, as long as you have a current browser and a connection. No download is required to reach the site itself. Whether a dedicated mobile app also exists, and what that app supports, is something only OurDream can confirm currently, and app availability varies by region and platform store. Check OurDream directly if a native app matters to you.

You choose a character, then type messages into a chat window and receive written replies in that character's voice. Behind the scenes the platform combines your message with the character's defined personality and with whatever earlier context it retains, and generates a response consistent with both. What you control is the framing: tone, how much initiative the character takes, and where the conversation goes. Our guide to how AI girlfriend chat works explains what each of those levers changes and how to use them well.

Many can, and memory is one of the main features separating a companion platform from a plain chatbot. How much is retained, and for how long, varies by platform and is usually described in the privacy policy rather than on the marketing page. Before you rely on memory — or share something sensitive because you assume it will be kept privately — read what Canadian users should check about AI girlfriend privacy.

Almost anything within the platform's content policy, which is the limiting factor rather than the technology. Everyday conversation, roleplay, creative writing, flirtation and adult content are all part of the category on platforms that permit them — and every platform draws that line differently. Read the terms of the specific service you're using rather than assuming. Our guide to adult AI chat covers the tone and etiquette side of this in more detail.

Character creation is a standard feature on modern AI companion platforms and is usually the centrepiece of the product. You typically define appearance, personality, relationship type and voice, then save the character and start chatting. This site's creation guide walks through those decisions in the order they matter. The tools themselves live on OurDream, not here — nothing on this website generates, saves or stores a character.

The common set is appearance, personality, relationship type and voice. Beyond that, platforms differ: some let you write a free-form backstory, some offer scenario presets, and some let you tune how assertive or reserved the character should be. The setting that matters most is personality, because it determines how the character responds to you long after the novelty of the appearance has worn off. Voice is worth testing early too — a mismatch is hard to unhear.

No — length isn't the same as quality. A short description naming three specific traits produces a more consistent character than a page of vague adjectives, because the system has clear instructions rather than impressions. Write the things you'd want a person to notice about behaviour, not just looks: whether she leads a conversation or waits, how she handles disagreement, how quickly she warms up. Specificity is the variable that matters.

AI roleplay is scenario-based conversation: you set a premise — a place, a situation, a relationship between two characters — and the AI character commits to it, responding as someone inside that world rather than as an assistant outside it. Stakes, tension and continuity come from the scenario itself. It's the same character technology used with a narrative frame layered over it. Our AI roleplay guide covers the common scenario types and how to set one up.

No, though a little structure helps. Some people use asterisks or italics for actions and plain text for dialogue, which is a convention rather than a requirement — modern platforms handle either. What matters more is setting the scene clearly in the first message: who you are, where you are, and what's at stake. Vague openings produce vague scenes, which is the same rule that applies to ordinary chat.

Yes. Every scenario on a companion platform is something you can redirect, pause or abandon. If a scene isn't working, say what you want to change rather than starting over — a character that already has the context of the scene will handle a change of direction better than a fresh one. And if you want out of the scenario entirely, you can simply talk normally. The character will follow your lead.

It depends entirely on the platform, and this is the question worth answering before you type anything you'd rather not have stored. The things that decide it: whether conversations are stored at all, how long they're kept, whether they're used to train models, whether your account is tied to a payment method, and what deletion actually removes. Our privacy guide for AI companions walks through each check, and the answer for any specific service is in its current privacy policy.

Five things, in this order: where conversations are stored and for how long; whether your chats are used to train models and whether you can opt out; what your account is tied to, whether that's an email, a phone number or a payment method; what deletion actually deletes, including backups; and whether there's a stated retention period in writing. A stated number is a commitment; silence is not a promise of anything. The full checklist is here.

Not necessarily. Deleting a conversation, deleting a character and closing an account are usually three different operations with three different results, and backups are frequently excluded from all three. If knowing that a conversation is genuinely gone matters to you, look for an explicit deletion policy rather than assuming the delete button is the whole story. Where a platform doesn't say, treat the answer as unknown rather than as favourable.

You can reduce how much is tied to your name, but full anonymity is unusual. A pseudonymous account and a separate email address separate the conversation from your identity; they don't separate it from your IP address, your device, or a payment record if you've paid for anything. That's not a reason to avoid the category — it's a reason to decide what you're comfortable sharing before the conversation is underway, rather than three messages into it.
