# Chitchat.gg > Chitchat.gg is a random video and text chat platform that connects strangers worldwide through real-time conversations. Chitchat.gg has three main public surfaces: - The marketing and content site at `www.chitchat.gg` - The text chat app at `app.chitchat.gg` - The video chat app at `video.chitchat.gg` Use the landing site for product messaging, policies, support, and blog content. Use the text app for account, onboarding, and text-chat routes. Use the video app root for live video chat; the video product handles login, profile setup, settings, and premium flows inside the app rather than through dedicated public routes. The public terms and guidelines state that users must be 18 or older. For LLM discovery, the sitemap matters because blog posts, author pages, categories, and tag pages are generated at build time from CMS content rather than hardcoded in this repo. Use the longer `llms-full.txt` file for a more complete product, route, policy, and support reference. ## What is Chitchat.gg?
