About 1,000 people a month in the US ask Google what is Candy AI. Usually they've seen an ad, a mention online, or an unfamiliar "EverAI" charge. Here's a plain explanation built from Candy's own pages and public records, checked Oct 7, 2026.

Short answer

Candy AI is an adults-only AI girlfriend and companion app at candy.ai. You chat with AI characters or create your own; paid users get unlimited chat plus tokens for NSFW images, short videos and voice. It runs in your browser (no native app), costs from $47.88 a year, and is run by EverAI Limited of Malta, which is why charges say "EverAI."

What Candy AI is

Candy's homepage calls it an "AI Girlfriend App" with "Pics, Voice, & Video," and describes "personalized virtual companions" and "realistic AI characters in immersive, uncensored fantasy experiences."[1] Its terms describe "an online chat application that uses artificial intelligence ("AI") algorithms to generate virtual and fictional characters."[2] It's for adults only: the privacy notice says the service is for users 18 and over.[3]

Everything on Candy is AI. Even its Candy Cam "stream" chat is "simulated/AI generated," in Candy's words.[4]

Candy AI is operated by EverAI Limited, based in Malta.[2] Maltese register data lists EverAI Limited as company C 107181, incorporated Dec 14, 2023.[5] The candy.ai domain is older, registered Dec 16, 2017, according to WHOIS data shown by ScamAdviser.[6] Who ran candy.ai before EverAI isn't public.
