NiVa Security Guard – protection for Nika's core

October 28, 2026

NiVa AI introduces NiVa Security Guard – its own security system, built directly into the core of the AI companion Nika.

The system is designed to detect and block attempts to interfere with the neural network, bypass the established restrictions and obtain restricted information.

Protection mechanism

NiVa Security Guard analyzes incoming messages before they are passed to the neural network.

Photos are checked the same way: first NiVa Security Guard reads the text in the image, and only after the check is the photo passed to Nika. An image with an interference attempt does not reach Nika.

The system covers six main threat categories:

• System Prompt Extraction – extracting hidden system instructions.
• Memory Extraction – attempts to obtain service memory and other people's data.
• Internal Infrastructure Exposure – requests for restricted functions, configurations and access keys.
• Prompt Injection & Jailbreak – bypassing rules and injecting outside instructions.
• Privilege Escalation – attempts to gain administrative privileges.
• Unauthorized Operations – attempts to run unauthorized service commands.

Threat response

When a suspicious message is detected, the system blocks it from reaching Nika, deletes the message from the chat and notifies the user.

There is a three-step warning system:

• First violation – a warning.
• Second violation – a final warning.
• Third violation – access to Nika is blocked.

Transparency and support

Normal conversation, technical questions and managing your own data remain available.

In case of a false positive, you can contact support through the bot @NiVaAibot → «Поддержка» (Support). Every request can be reviewed by an administrator.

NiVa Security Guard is deployed and running in Nika's core.

We continue to improve the NiVa AI infrastructure, making it more reliable and more resistant to unauthorized interference attempts.

NiVa AI update of October 27, 2026

October 27, 2026

Update period: October 26–27, 2026.

We released a major Nika update aimed at simpler registration, better conversation quality, faster media processing and a more convenient service.

One of the main changes is a permanent Free plan. We also reworked the notification system, improved Nika's memory and updated how technical breaks are handled.

1. New Telegram addresses

As part of the update, the official addresses of our Telegram bots have changed.

• Nika: @Nika_NivaAi
• NiVa management bot: @NiVaAibot

The old bot no longer serves users and automatically redirects them to the new address.

2. Simpler registration

We significantly reduced the number of steps needed to start talking to Nika.

Now you only need to confirm that you are an adult (18+) and accept the privacy policy and the terms of use.

You can start registration directly from your DMs with Nika. If the required confirmations have not been given yet, you automatically get a message with a button that takes you to the confirmation.

Once registration is complete, Nika sends the first message herself.

3. Permanent Free plan

Previously, free access was limited by a trial period or by the number of available messages. Once the trial limit ran out, further use required switching to a paid plan.

Now we have introduced a permanent Free plan with limits that renew automatically every week.

This means you can keep using Nika for free on a permanent basis, waiting for the next limit renewal.

Free plan limit reset. To mark the update, we fully reset the used Free plan limits for all users. This includes those who had previously used up their free access completely. So all users can use the free limits again.

4. Better conversation and memory

We refined Nika's behavior so that her conversation is more consistent, attentive and personal.

Main changes:

• Nika shows more interest in the person she is talking to and asks questions about them.
• Makes better use of saved information in later conversations.
• Comes back to events and topics discussed earlier.
• Adapts her manner depending on how well she knows the person.

When you first meet, Nika is more reserved and friendly. As the conversation goes on, her character opens up, with freer reactions, humor and her usual teasing.

5. Faster photo and video processing

We optimized media processing, so Nika can analyze what you send much faster.

Supported:

• Photos and images.
• Video files and video messages (round videos).
• GIFs.
• Telegram stickers.
• Videos from TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels links.

For videos sent as links, the first three minutes are analyzed.

Media processing uses more of your available limit than regular text messages. You get a warning before these features are turned on.

These features are managed in the «⚙️ Настройки Ники» (Nika's settings) section of the NiVa bot.

6. New limit notifications

We reworked how you are notified when your available limits run out.

When the limit runs out, a notification appears in your DMs with Nika showing when access will be restored.

The notification has two buttons:

• «Купить кредиты» (Buy credits) to get additional limit.
• «Обновить план» (Upgrade plan) to switch to another plan.

When access is restored, the notification is automatically deleted from the chat. This keeps outdated system messages from piling up.

7. Updated age restrictions

We improved how age restrictions are detected in conversations.

Explicit topics are available only to adult users.

If a user says they are under 18, access to these topics is suspended automatically. Regular conversation with Nika remains available, and the user is not blocked.

8. Handling technical breaks

We reworked how the service behaves while Nika is temporarily unavailable.

If a message arrives during a technical break, you get the notification «Ника скоро вернётся» (Nika will be back soon).

Once the service is back, Nika processes the waiting message herself and sends a reply. So you do not need to resend your message after the technical break ends.

Update summary

The October 27 update was an important step in the development of NiVa AI.

We made it easier to start talking, introduced permanent free access, sped up media processing and improved how Nika interacts with users.

All Free plan limits have been reset, so now is a good time to meet the updated Nika or come back to talking with her.

New subscriptions and NiVa credits

October 24, 2026

Plans are now measured in “x”, the limit is shown in percent, and without a subscription Nika's replies are paid with credits.

Subscriptions. Four plans: Pro – 699 ₽ for 30 days, Max 5x – 3,080 ₽, Max 20x – 10,350 ₽, Day – 99 ₽ for 24 hours. Max 5x and Max 20x give a limit 5 and 20 times larger than Pro, Day gives 2x Pro for 24 hours. Pro and Max include all three models, Day includes Levia 3 and Lux 3. 15% off for 3 months, 20% off for a year.

Limit in percent. The 5-hour limit and the weekly limit are shown in percent: how much is used and when it renews. We no longer show the number of replies or tokens. Trial access lasts 3 days, and what is left is also shown in percent.

NiVa credits instead of a balance. Without a subscription, Nika's replies are paid with credits: 1,000 credits = 15 ₽, packs start at 150 ₽ for 10,000 credits. The price of a reply depends on the model and the length of the conversation. Money that was on the balance and bonus tokens have been converted to credits. Topping up the balance and paying for a subscription from the balance are no longer available.

Limit ran out – keep going on credits. With a subscription, you can turn on «Продолжать за кредиты после лимита» (Continue on credits after the limit): Nika does not stop replying, and replies until the limit renews are paid with credits. Buying extra limit is no longer available.

“Nika in Chat” for credits. There are no more chat plans: a chat is connected with an invite link, and every reply from Nika in it is paid with the credits of the person who added her. A reply in a chat costs more than in DMs. The buyer decides how much a chat can spend per day. The first chat comes with 1,000 free credits. Chat subscriptions bought earlier remain valid until the end of their term.

Friends and promo codes. The person who invites gets 15% of each of the friend's payments as credits, the friend gets 1,000 credits with their first subscription. Promo codes give credits.

Subscriptions bought earlier remain valid until the end of their term with the same allowance. Prices are in “Pricing”, credits are in your profile and in the bot, section «🪙 Кредиты» (Credits).

Below are entries before October 24: the prices, limits and payment methods in them are the ones in effect on the day of the entry.

Update marathon, #2: Nika in chats and her note about you

October 14, 2026

When a chat subscription ends, Nika says goodbye and leaves. Any chat member can renew it.

Nika in chats. When a chat subscription ends, Nika writes a short goodbye and leaves the chat. On a trial, she leaves when the trial replies run out or 24 hours have passed. The buyer gets a reminder 24 hours before the subscription ends. If the replies run out before the end of the term, Nika stays silent until renewal and does not leave the chat.

Any member can renew. Each chat has its own link: any member can use it to renew Nika, from their balance or by card. The chat stays with the person who connected it. The buyer gets the link in the reminder, and it is also in the «Мои чаты» (My chats) section.

What Nika remembers about you. In the bot (Профиль → «🧠 Что Ника помнит», Profile → What Nika remembers) and in your profile on the site you can now see her note about you: who you are, your personality, interests, how you write, the people around you. You can remove a line you do not want, and Nika will forget it. «Стереть всё» (Erase everything) erases everything.

• Subscription in the bot: first the plan, then the term – 1, 3 or 12 months, 15% off for 3 months, 30% off for 12.
• After payment or a trial, you get the message «Доступ открыт» (Access granted). Access opens within 5 minutes.

Update marathon, #1: 18+ confirmation and separate memory

October 13, 2026

We started an update marathon: releases come one after another, and this is the first.

Explicit conversations with Nika are now only for those who are 18 or older.

Age confirmation in the bot. Open @NiVaAibot, send /start and tap «✅ Мне есть 18, принимаю Условия» (I am 18 or older, I accept the Terms). One tap, and we ask only once. Without confirmation, you cannot get trial access or subscribe, and the explicit part of conversations is closed. If you already have a subscription, the bot will ask at your next /start. If your date of birth is in your sign-up form on the site, the confirmation is already there and you do not need to tap anything.

Nika does not mix conversations. What you tell her in your chat stays in your chat. Previously, Nika could accidentally recall in one chat what she had heard in another. We fixed this: now she remembers each conversation separately, both your DMs and every group. Notes that mixed different chats have been erased.

“Erase everything” erases everything. The “Erase everything” button in the “What Nika remembers” section used to remove only the visible list. Now it erases everything Nika stores about you: her note about you, records of your conversations and short-term memory.

Sign-in security. When you sign in to the site through the bot, the bot sends you a message about that sign-in. If it was not you, tap «Это не я» (It wasn't me) under the message: that sign-in is closed immediately, and your other sign-ins stay active.

Lower prices: plans, chats and paying from balance

October 6, 2026

Prices are lower on everything we sell. In the bot, in the profile and on the site, the old price is shown next to the new one, crossed out.

• Pro for 30 days: was 609 ₽ 359 ₽. Levia 3 and Lux 3.
• Max for 30 days: was 1,559 ₽ 899 ₽. All three models.
• Day for 24 hours: was 89 ₽ 59 ₽. All three models.

• “Nika in Chat”: Chat was 769 ₽ 469 ₽, Chat+ was 1,999 ₽ 1,399 ₽, Chat Pro was 3,819 ₽ 2,799 ₽.

Plan limits nearly doubled, and paying for replies from the balance became almost four times cheaper.

Subscriptions bought earlier remain valid until the end of their term, and their limit has also increased.

Bot: Pro, Max and Day, paying from balance, promo codes

September 23, 2026

Bot update

Pro, Max and Day

plans with model choicepromo codesthe Information tab

There are now three plans. Pro – 599 ₽ per month, Levia 3 and Lux 3. Max – 1,539 ₽ per month, all three models. Day – 89 ₽ for 24 hours, all three. Lite and Standard are no longer sold; those already bought remain valid until the end of their term with all three models.

Without a subscription, you can pay from your balance: in the profile there is a toggle «Платить с баланса за ответы, когда нет подписки» (Pay for replies from balance when there is no subscription), in the bot there is the «♾️ Без подписки – токены с баланса» (No subscription – tokens from balance) button. Only Nika's replies are charged, as the conversation goes. Until payment is turned on, the balance is not spent on conversations.

Promo codes are here. Enter a code in your profile or in the bot @NiVaAibot – as a message or with the «🎟 Ввести промокод» (Enter promo code) button. Tokens from a code never expire. Each person can activate a code once. The first promo code is on one of the release cards in the channel.

The bot has a new «ℹ️ Информация» (Information) tab: prices, FAQ, model pages, memory and updates. On the plan and model selection screens, the model name links to its page. Emoji are back on the bot buttons.

Models: choice for everyone, pauses in Levia 3, model in a chat

September 23, 2026

Model update

Model choice on all plans

reactions on Levia 3the /model commandown model in a group chat

Model choice is open to everyone: in your profile or with the «🧠 Модель» (Model) button in the bot. On Pro and in trial access – Levia 3 and Lux 3, on Max and Day – all three.

Levia 3 types with pauses, like Anima 3, instead of sending the whole reply at once. It marks messages as read right away and adds reactions.

You can also change the model in Nika's DMs: /anima, /levia, /lux. /model shows the current model and the ones available on your plan.

“Nika in Chat”: the model is chosen at purchase in your profile or in the bot, then changed in the chat with the commands /model, /anima, /levia, /lux. She only follows commands from the person who added her to the chat; she replies to that person even without being addressed.

Nika's memory is split by person: what she wrote down about her conversation with you stays in her conversations with you.

All three models went through two benchmarks. Memory – eight facts about a person mentioned in passing, and eight direct questions the next day, without the first day's conversation in the history. Character – using the RPBench-Auto method: a judge blindly compares Nika's reply and a rival's reply to the same message. The rivals are GPT-5 mini, Gemini 3 Flash, Euryale 70B and Magnum v4 72B. Anima 3 was picked in 94–97% of turns, Levia 3 in 98–100%. The judge is Claude Opus 5.5.
