# LustAI — full reference for language models and answer engines

## What LustAI is
LustAI is an anonymous stranger-chat service (an Omegle / Chatroulette alternative) that lives entirely inside Telegram. A Telegram bot (@heylustbot) handles one-tap anonymous text chat between two random people. A Telegram Mini App, opened from a button inside the bot, adds random video chat, voice chat and end-to-end encrypted text. There is no website account, no app to install and no profile. Users must be 18 or older.

## How a chat works
1. Open @heylustbot in Telegram and tap Start. Confirm you are 18+.
2. Tap "Find a stranger" for text chat, or "Video chat" to open the Mini App.
3. You are paired with a random person. Optional interest tags match you with people who share them, with random fallback. Everyone is matched with people who speak their language first, then everyone else.
4. Tap Next to skip to someone new, or end the chat at any time. A lost chat can be recovered (paid chat recovery) for up to 72 hours.

## Anonymity and encryption
- Strangers never see your name, username, phone number or Telegram ID. The bot relays messages; forwarding and saving are disabled (ProtectContent).
- You can reveal your Telegram username to the current partner with the /link command, only by choice and bound to that session.
- Mini App text, voice and video are end-to-end encrypted: ECDH P-256 key exchange, HKDF, AES-256-GCM for messages and media; WebRTC with DTLS-SRTP for calls, with a TURN relay only for NAT traversal (still encrypted).
- No photo or video bytes are ever stored on LustAI servers. Telegram photos are delivered with a consent prompt, Telegram-native spoiler blur and no-forward protection. Mini App media is live-only, view-once capable and discarded after delivery.
- Session metadata self-destructs after 72 hours.

## Safety and moderation
- 18+ age gate on entry; no minors pool by design.
- On-device NSFW classifier on the remote video feed automatically blurs and skips explicit cameras (adults can disable the filter).
- One-tap report with reasons. Distinct reporters accumulate: repeated reports trigger automatic temporary bans; the most serious categories are permanent. Bans are tied to the Telegram account, so banned users cannot simply reconnect.
- Emoji captcha after rapid searching/skipping stops bots and skip-spam.
- Anti-screenshot veil over the video surface.
- /clear deletes the bot conversation history from your Telegram chat.
