Company
The news site's footer: “© 2026 JanitorAI Inc. All rights reserved”. The official app is published as “Janitor AI Inc” — the service itself asks users to check the publisher to avoid fakes. The country of incorporation, address and registration details are not given in the public announcements — not found. The founder writes posts in the first person and calls himself Australian (post of 15.06.2026), but that is not a legal address.
Age and history
The janitorai.com domain was registered on 30 May 2023 — mature by the standards of the niche. The newsroom launched on 18 January 2026; it holds announcements, weekly changelogs and engineering notes about moving from Node.js to Elixir and Cloudflare Workers “for billions of messages” (November 2025).
Position on regulation
The service is publicly against age verification (“we are fundamentally against KYC for social networks”) but introduces it where the law requires: Brazil, Australia, the United Kingdom (post of 15.06.2026). The mobile apps run under a stricter filter for the sake of store rules.
Transparency: Janitor vs HoneyChat
The case for Janitor AI
A public newsroom with dates, a changelog, engineering posts, three years of domain history and a known company name. In openness of process Janitor is ahead of most.
The case for HoneyChat
The service is younger (domain since March 2026), and that is its honest minus. In return, access without an account means the service never has your e-mail in the first place — and the question “who did I give my data to” is softer.
