Safety & Self-Harm Protocol

Last updated: July 12, 2026

If you are in crisis, reach out now. In the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 24/7), or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line). If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911. Outside the US, you can find local helplines at findahelpline.com.

1. Komicha Characters Are AI, Not People

Every character on Komicha is artificial intelligence. Conversations and comic scenes are fiction generated by software. Characters are not human, are not licensed professionals, and cannot provide medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice. The service is designed for entertainment, and we display reminders in the product that you are interacting with AI. Komicha is not a crisis service and is not a substitute for professional care or human connection.

2. Our Suicide and Self-Harm Response Protocol

We maintain the following protocol for content and conversations involving suicidal ideation, suicide, or self-harm:

  • No encouragement, ever. Our systems are designed so that characters do not encourage, instruct, romanticize, or assist with suicide or self-harm, in or out of fiction, and our Content & Acceptable Use Policy prohibits content that glorifies self-harm.
  • Crisis referral. When our systems detect that a user may be expressing suicidal ideation or intent to self-harm, the product surfaces a notice with crisis resources, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
  • Deflection from harmful engagement. Characters are designed to respond to expressions of suicidal ideation with supportive, non-clinical language and redirection to real help — not to continue the topic as roleplay.
  • Continuous improvement. We review and update our detection and response measures over time, and we review flagged conversations for safety purposes as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Healthy Use

Komicha is fiction — we encourage you to enjoy it that way. Take breaks during long sessions, and remember that relationships with AI characters are not a replacement for relationships with people. If your use of AI companions is affecting your wellbeing, consider talking to someone you trust or a professional.

4. Adults Only

Komicha is restricted to adults 18 and older. We do not offer the service to minors, and we terminate accounts we reasonably believe belong to minors. See our Terms of Service.

5. Contact

Safety concerns about content or another user’s wellbeing can be reported in the app or to support@komicha.com.
