01 · The Product
What Is Chitchat?
Chitchat (chitchat.gg) is a random chat platform that pairs you with a stranger for a one-on-one conversation. It runs in a mobile or desktop browser with no download, is free to use with no ads, and uses interest-based matching to nudge who you land on. There's no algorithmic feed and no curated content — just a conversation with someone new.
You can jump into a random video chat or keep it to text — and if you're coming from Omegle, here's how we compare.

Same team since day one
No pivot, no acquisition, no rebrand.

The Vision
Make strangers worth talking to again
Chitchat was created to make talking to a stranger online feel worth doing again: low-commitment, ad-free, and matched around genuine shared interests instead of engagement-maximizing algorithms. No feed, no followers — one click, and you are in a real conversation with someone new.
-
2023
Launched, with moderation built in
A small founding team launched Chitchat.gg under BeFriendsWith LTD: a random chat platform that runs in any browser with no download. Moderation was built in as core infrastructure from day one — real-time automated review, human escalation, and face-based age checks — not bolted on after growth arrived.

2026
Started publishing the receipts
We began publishing our own enforcement numbers — dated, sourced from production systems, and rounded down, never up. Random chat does not have to mean unmoderated chat, and we would rather show the receipts than just say we take safety seriously.

04 · Safety
Is Chitchat Safe?
Chitchat is moderated in real time, during chats — not only after something is reported. In the last 90 days that meant 100,000+ enforcement actions, 89%+ of them before any user report. No platform can vet a stranger before you're talking to them, so keep personal details out of chat and report anything that feels wrong. Three layers do the work:
-
Real-time automation
Automated systems review activity as it happens — not only after someone files a report. 89%+ of enforcement actions in the last 90 days came before any user report.
-
Human review
Detections and user reports go to a human queue when judgment is needed. Every report is logged, reviewed, and either actioned or dismissed — never left in silence.
-
Age verification
Accounts that signal as under 18 must pass a face-based age check with a third-party provider before they can keep chatting. 40,000+ suspected under-18 attempts were blocked in 90 days.
Every figure is published, dated, and sourced in the Safety & Moderation Transparency Report.
