How it works

Three steps to a great conversation.

Tilo is designed to be the simplest, most honest messaging product you've used. No swiping, no matchmaking, no algorithm guessing your type.

Pick a persona

Browse a small curated roster of personas. Each has a distinct personality, tone, and look. Pick the energy you want today — flirty, chatty, brooding, sweet.

Top up credits

Buy a one-time credit pack from £4.99. One credit = one message you send. Credits never expire and there's no subscription. You're always in control of what you spend.

Just start chatting

Send a message and one of our writers — replying in the voice of that persona — gets back to you, usually within minutes. Pick up the conversation later and we'll know where you left off.

What you should know up front

We believe in being clear about what Tilo is and isn't. The short version: it's entertainment, not a dating app.

Personas, not real identities

Every Tilo persona is a fictional character. Photos are AI-generated and don't depict any specific real person. Replies are written by Tilo's team in the voice of that character.

Adults only — 18+

Tilo is an adult fantasy chat service. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher) to use it.

No meetups, ever

Tilo personas live inside the app. They won't ask to meet, won't ask for outside contact, and won't ask for personal information that isn't part of the chat.

Your conversations stay private

Encryption in transit and at rest. Messages are read by the writer responding to you, but never sold or shared with advertisers. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

You're in control of spend

One-time credit purchases only. No subscriptions, no auto-renewals, no surprise charges on your statement.

You can stop anytime

You can request account deletion at any time from your settings, or by emailing us. We'll delete your account and chat data within 30 days.

Have a question we didn't answer?

We've put together a full FAQ — and if your question isn't there, you can always email the team.
