How Refill works
Refill is an AI roleplay chat game set in a fictional version of your office. You write the coworkers, they text you back, and the story keeps going after you close the app. Play it for the drama, or use it to practice a conversation you keep putting off.
A day at the office
- Write your coworkers. Give each one a name, a job title, something they'd actually say, and the traits that make them who they are (Big Five, plus MBTI if you like). Then decide what they are to you: mentor, rival, enemy, crush, confidant or boss.
- Text them. Everyone shares one group chat, so they answer you and each other. Pull someone aside for a one-on-one when it shouldn't be said in front of the team.
- They remember. Your coworkers keep notes on what you tell them. What you say in a one-on-one stays between the two of you; the group chat never sees it.
- The story moves overnight. While you're away, a storyline moves forward: a deadline jumps, someone presents your work as theirs, a reorg rumor starts. Around 9 a.m. your time, the office checks in by email or push notification. You can switch the channel or turn it off in Settings.
Play it, or practice with it
Some people play Refill for the office drama. Others use it as a low-stakes place to rehearse a real conversation: asking for a raise, pushing back on a deadline, telling a coworker they took credit for your work. Write the coworker the way they really are, say the thing, and see how it lands.
The replies come from an AI playing a character you wrote, not from the real person, so treat them as practice, not a prediction.

Before you start
- The coworkers are AI. An AI model writes every message from the traits you gave, and each one carries an AI tag. They aren't real people, even when they're based on someone you know, and they can get things wrong.
- 18+ only. Refill is for adults. AI companions may not be suitable for some minors.
- It's a game, not therapy or advice. Characters don't give medical, mental-health or legal advice. If you mention suicide or self-harm, Refill shows you crisis lines. If you need help now, see Safety.
- Keep real details light. You can base coworkers on people you know. Keep it to what the game needs, like a first name, a habit or a way of talking. Don't enter anyone's contact details, health information or other sensitive details, or anything confidential from your actual job.
- Your chats stay yours. We don't sell your data or show ads, and neither we nor our AI provider use your chats to train AI models. You can export your data or delete your account in Settings. See the Privacy Policy.
- Where it's offered. Refill is available in the United States, Canada (outside Quebec) and Australia.
Questions
Is Refill an AI companion app?
It's a roleplay game. You chat with AI characters, but they're coworkers in a story about your office, not a stand-in for real friends or a partner.
How is it different from other AI character chats?
Refill is built around one place: your office. A cast of coworkers you wrote share a group chat, talk to each other, remember you, and keep a storyline going while you're away.
Can the characters say anything?
No. Every reply is checked automatically before you see it, and sexual content or anything that encourages suicide, self-harm or eating disorders is blocked. Characters are instructed never to claim to be human.
Is there a free version?
There's no free plan, but every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
How do I delete my data?
Go to Settings → Account → Delete my account. We wait 7 days in case you change your mind, then permanently delete your account, offices, coworkers and chats. Deleting your account also cancels your plan.
