All characters provided in Dear, Ami are fictional AI characters.

The names, images, personalities, speaking styles, and responses of the characters do not represent or speak on behalf of any real person, organization, institution, or third party.

These tools are provided separately from Dear, Ami and may be subject to their own terms, privacy policies, installation requirements, account requirements, data practices, and security practices.

Dear, Ami does not guarantee the installation, operation, stability, security, updates, compatibility, or data processing practices of third-party tools.
