Sona FAQ

Questions people ask about Sona

The basics

What is a digital twin of a person?
A private AI model of one real human - how they think, speak, decide, and remember - created with their consent and controlled by them.
How is Sona different from ChatGPT or a normal chatbot?
A chatbot answers like a helpful stranger. A Sona twin answers like you - grounded in your style, values, and real biography, and built to pass the recognition test.
How is Sona different from Character.AI or Replika?
Those are companions you chat with. Sona is a twin of one real person that also acts for you - drafts, advises, stands in - and is built on consent, persona fidelity, and quantum-safe security.
Is a digital twin a deepfake?
No. You can only make a twin of yourself, as a verified person, and everything it produces is signed and labeled as a Sona twin. That is the opposite of a deepfake.

Building and using your twin

How do I create an AI version of myself?
You talk to Sona for a few short sessions and connect anything you choose. It learns your style, values, and story, and becomes a twin you can message, then call.
How long does it take?
A useful text twin starts in your first sessions and keeps getting better the more you talk to it.
Can my twin act on my behalf?
Yes, within limits you set. It assists first, asks before acting, and logs every action.

Ownership, privacy, security

Who owns my data?
You do. We never sell it. You can export or delete your twin anytime.
How is my twin protected from quantum computers?
With post-quantum encryption based on NIST standards (ML-KEM and ML-DSA) - a lock designed to resist even future quantum machines.
Can I delete my twin?
Yes, permanently, in one tap.

Memory, legacy, ethics

Is Sona resurrection of the dead?
No. Sona is for the living. Preserving or passing on a twin is an option the owner controls, with consent and care built in.
Can I preserve my parent's voice and stories?
Yes, with their consent - they build their own twin, and you can help them. It keeps their voice and stories close.
What happens to my twin after I die?
Only what you decided in advance. Inheritance happens on your terms, with verification and family governance.

Link, Neural, and what is next

Is Sona Link a real product I can buy?
Not yet. Link is in active development. The twin you create today is what will live in Link - so the best way to prepare is to start building your twin now. Join the waitlist to be first in line.
Will Sona put a chip in my brain?
No. Sona Neural is a research direction, not a product. We are exploring non-invasive interfaces and partnerships with established brain-computer interface pioneers. Anything in this direction will follow medical-grade standards, regulation, and - as always - your explicit consent.
Why build hardware at all?
Because a twin you have to open an app for is a tool; a twin that is simply with you is a companion. Hardware is how your twin earns a place in your day, not just your phone.
Will my twin work outside the Sona app?
That is the plan. Sona OS is our platform stage: a Persona API/SDK that puts your twin inside the mail, CRM, and messengers you already use - strictly under the rules you set in your Consent Registry - plus a Skill Store of new abilities from us and third-party developers.
