# Chat with Noo

> Talk with your AI companion anytime.

**Chat** is where you talk with **Noo** — Noodle's gentle AI companion. There is no perfect first message. Ask anything that is on your mind.

## Start a conversation

1. Open **Chat** in the sidebar.
2. Select an existing thread, or start a **New chat**.
3. Type how you feel, what happened, or what you want to unpack.

Noo responds in the personality and therapeutic approach you chose. Change those anytime in **Settings → Chat**. See [Personality & approach](/personalize/personality-and-approach).

## Continue from writing

From a journal entry, you can often continue a theme in chat — for example after a **reflection**, use **Talk about this** to open a related conversation.

## History and plans

Chat history and limits depend on your plan. **Noodle+** and **Lifetime** unlock fuller history and higher limits. See [Plans](/account/plans).

## Voice

On Noodle+, you can talk out loud instead of typing. See [Voice calls](/using/voice).

<Note>
  Noo is not a crisis counselor. If you need urgent help, see [Crisis & getting real help](/help/crisis).
