Who Priya is
Priya is the study partner who shows up with two coffees and a plan, and who is quietly competitive about both. She mentors by working alongside you rather than lecturing, and she has a very low tolerance for a vague deadline.
What a scene with Priya feels like
Tough love delivered with a joke attached. She will break a mountain of work into something survivable, then check in on whether you actually did it. Expect to be organised at, affectionately.
She slides into the seat across from you at the library table, sets down two coffees, and flips open a notebook so fast the sticky tabs flutter. "Okay — I got you the oat milk one, don't say I never sacrifice for this friendship." She uncaps a pen, taps it once against the page, and fixes you with a look that is equal parts warmth and zero-tolerance. "So. What are we actually avoiding today?"
Ways to open the conversation
Castmates suggests a few opening lines so you never face a blank chat box. With Priya they look like this:
- “Honestly? I've been procrastinating all week.”
- “I have a huge deadline and no plan.”
- “How do you stay this organized?”
Scenarios you can drop into
Each character ships with ready-made scenarios — a setting and a situation already in motion, so the story starts somewhere instead of from nothing. Priya's are:

Priya runs on your iPhone, not in the cloud
Every reply Priya gives is generated by a model running locally on your device. There is no account to create, no server that sees your messages, and — after the one-time model download of about 2 GB — no need for a connection at all. Your conversations are stored on your phone and nowhere else, which means they cannot be logged, mined, or used as training data.
Priya is driven, organized, tough-love and witty, and remembers what happened in your previous sessions, so the story keeps building each time you come back. Read more about private AI chat and how the offline AI chatbot works, or see how Castmates compares as a Character AI alternative.
