About chubai.io
The short version
chubai.io is an independent access resource for Chub AI. It exists to answer one question well: where is the real Chub, and how do you get there without landing on a mirror, a proxy, or a fake app. The site is written and run on its own. It is not operated by Chub, not paid by Chub, and not part of CharHub in any way. Everything here is editorial, from the main access page to the legal notices at the bottom of every screen.
Why a whole site for one platform
Chub is unusually hard to reach for how popular it is. The product is split across chub.ai and venus.chub.ai, the docs live on a third subdomain, the Google Play app was removed in 2025 and Apple pulled the iOS build the same year, and search results fill the gap with mod APKs and lookalike domains. On top of that the platform gets hit by DDoS waves, runs its own Aphrodite engine that needs maintenance windows, and filters or blocks access in some countries. A static write-up from a year ago is wrong on several of those points today.
So the job of this site is narrow and practical: keep the real entry points in one place, keep them dated, and be honest about the parts that break. The reasoning behind every claim is set out on the methodology page.
Who runs chubai.io
The editorial lead is Melissa Blake, who has covered AI companion and roleplay platforms since 2022. Chub is written about here in the context of the wider category rather than in a vacuum, which is why the comparisons name Character.AI, Janitor AI, SpicyChat and the rest instead of pretending Chub exists alone. How independence, corrections and money are handled sits on the editorial policy page.
Our relationship with Chub
There is none. chubai.io is not affiliated with Chub, CharHub, or any of the platforms named in comparisons. The name Chub AI is used to describe the product this site covers.
Reaching a person
Corrections, correction requests and press notes go to the editor through LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/melissablake1. Anything factual is acknowledged, logged, and reflected in the dateModified stamp on the affected page. The correction workflow itself is on the methodology page.
Who this is for
chubai.io is 18+, matching Chub’s own age floor. The reader it is written for is an adult trying to reach Chub, weigh its tiers, or work out whether the platform is even up right now. The rules that govern using this site are in the terms of service, the data side is in the privacy policy, and the age position is on the age verification page, with the content statement on the § 2257 page.
