Personal, with boundaries

When memory is enabled, a companion can use selected preferences and recent conversation context to make practice more relevant.

Conversation context is kept separate for each companion. Memory controls are still being developed; see the privacy notice for current limits and deletion options.

What is Parla?

Parla is an AI-powered language-practice beta built around text conversation, gentle corrections, and useful continuity.

What is Companion Studio?

Companion Studio is a forthcoming private operator workspace for shaping persona behavior, running isolated test conversations and evaluations, and managing versioned releases. It is not currently a public service.

Is my companion a real person?

No. Every Parla profile is a fictional adult AI language-learning persona. Profile details are character design—not claims about a human—and generated replies can be wrong.

Which languages are represented in the companion catalog?

Parla offers Spanish, French, Italian, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, English, Persian, and Kannada profiles in the current companion catalog.

Does Parla offer voice calls?

No. The inspected release is text-first and does not implement real-time voice calls.

What does Parla remember?

When relationship memory is enabled, context is scoped by user, companion, relationship, persona version, thread, and generation. A complete user-facing memory-management interface remains unfinished.

Have a conversation worth continuing.

Parla is not publicly downloadable yet. The release team is preparing the first verified store build.
