Show HN: Ella – AI companion for emotional support when you're alone
- bryanql 2y agoElla is an AI companion designed to provide emotional and mental support when human interaction isn't available. We've developed Ella to be a empathetic listener, supportive presence, and able to connect on a variety of topics, like books, movies and tv.

- kseistrup 2y agoWhen visiting the announced URL it is unclear (1) who is behind the bot, and (2) if anyone besides myself has access to the conversation. Re. 1: For me it would suffice with a simple About page with contact information. Re. 2: I would like to know where the conversation is stored, for how long, and who is able to read it. The bot is presented as “emotional support” so the conversation could potentially contain personal and sensitive information. E.g., if I'm in Texas and tells Ella about my unwanted pregnancy, should I be worried that the conversation falls into the hands of the texan authorities? Cheers.
- bryanql 2y agoRe. 1: Thanks for this feedback. We will get this added. Re. 2: We do not store any of your chats you type into ella.quicklabs.app nor the responses coming back from Ella at the moment. Please let us know if you have any other feedback / insights to help improve Ella to make her useful for you all.
- RedCardRef 2y agoI wish there was an option to export the conversation.
- bryanql 2y agoThanks, our team weighed this, but decided for mvp, not to store any of chats people engage with Ella. This is a great feature we'll put on our roadmap as it's been asked for by some other folks. Appreciate you sharing.
- fidla 2y agoWhat's different between gpt4o, and Ella?
- gpaslari 2y agoThe red background of Ella's messages initially made me think that it's a system error, not Ella's response, and overall red doesn't seem to me the best colour to help calm down
- bryanql 2y agoThanks for sharing this on color... great point which the team will look into.
