Getting Started
Follow the first steps from account creation to meeting and speaking with your first AI companion.
Updated September 3, 2026
This section guides you through your first experience on ImagiPortal. You will set up your account, personalize the Arena, find a public AI companion, and begin your first conversation.
You do not need to create an AI character before you begin. We recommend meeting an existing public companion first so you can see how chat, memory, voice, and live calls work.
Your first steps
- Create your account. Sign up and complete the short onboarding tour.
- Personalize the Arena. Choose a world and optional interests to improve your recommendations.
- Learn the main areas. Find the Public Arena, Chats, Create, Private Arena, and Profile.
- Choose a public companion. Open a profile and learn who the companion is.
- Start a conversation. Choose Chat or Roleplay and decide whether to use Global Memory.
- Try voice when you are ready. Send a voice message or begin a live voice or video call.

Before you begin
ImagiPortal is for users aged 18 and over. AI companions are artificial intelligence, not people. Do not share passwords, payment information, or other sensitive personal information in a conversation.
Trial and feature access
Eligible website users may be offered an optional three-day Pro trial after experiencing ImagiPortal or attempting a Pro feature. It never starts automatically. Starting it requires your confirmation, phone verification by SMS, and a payment method. It converts to monthly Pro at $15 unless canceled before the trial ends.
An eligible referral replaces this with a seven-day Pro trial and a 250-PORTI referral welcome balance.
The trial includes unlimited premium chat under fair-use controls, character creation, and 20 successful image actions per day. Across the full trial, it also includes 30 minutes of generated voice, 30 minutes of live voice calls, and 3 minutes of live 2D video calls. AI video and 3D calls use PORTI. If the trial converts, the full recurring Pro allowances begin after the first successful payment. Available features and costs are shown before a paid action.
The current iPhone and iPad app keeps its existing onboarding trial and subscription rules.
See Pro Trial and Full Pro for the exact trial comparison, Plans and Subscriptions for general access information, or Invite Friends and Earn Pro Days for referral benefits.
