New: the AR Live Lens! Point your camera at anything and just ask — it translates, counts calories, measures and leaves notes that stay in your room.
James is your smartest companion — like a best friend, only smarter. One who remembers what matters to you, asks how yesterday's conversation went, and has a brilliant answer for anything.
From your morning briefing to a midnight conversation — James is there. New: point your camera at anything and just ask — the AR Live Lens translates, counts calories, measures, and leaves notes that stay in your room.
YOUR PERSONAL AI COMPANION
Characters with personality
14 personalities — each with its own voice, model and style. Build your own characters from scratch or import one from WhatsApp. Multi-chat: several characters debate side by side.
Remembers what matters to you
Living memory: James remembers what you tell him — and updates the same entry when things change. Private memories per character. iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Answers that come alive
Instead of walls of text: interactive cards. Recipes with hands-free cook-along, contract check with highlighted risk clauses, decision compass, appointment cards with conflict warnings.
AR Live Lens — NEW in Version 10
Point your camera at anything and just ask — by text or voice. Translate menus right in the camera view, turn your meal into calories and macros, identify plants and animals, measure distances and areas. Best of all: point the camera at a device you can't figure out — James recognizes it and guides you step by step along the real buttons. Never read a manual again.

What drove me to James was use of Chatgpt, its multi-platform support, and privacy. Apple doesnt verify their claim, perhaps that this app comes from the EU with their more stringent privacy concerns gives me some confidence. All other ChatGPT apps claim they may give personal information to third parties made these apps far less acceptable. I haven't used this app much but have accessed ChatGPT directly and through interfaces with Wolfram Research's Mathematica. James, on the Mac, and it's IOS versions is performing just like my other interactions. So far so good.******No support. In particular, I paid for annual license, but the program does not recognize that I paid for it and refuses to accept any further requests. Is this a scam application?
