ChatBoo is an AI chatbot app independently designed, built, and operated by Adam Jones, and is one of several apps he has developed personally. According to the official page, ChatBoo offers "AI characters you can chat with," with specific uses including stories, puzzles, games, and study help, and it is safe for users aged 13 and up. It is a free app with no ads, and optional donations do not unlock any features.
In terms of platform support, ChatBoo is currently live on the web, and native iPhone and Android apps are "on the way." Its technical implementation involves SwiftUI, Kotlin and Compose, Next.js, and AWS.
ChatBoo's development and operation principles include: end-to-end responsibility (design, native and web clients, backend, infrastructure, and subsequent ongoing service operation), using native technology where appropriate (SwiftUI and Compose on mobile, Next.js on the web, or shared React Native code when more suitable), security and privacy by design (AI and user content are checked before being shown to anyone, personal data is minimized, and a plain-language privacy policy is provided), and accessibility by default (support for light and dark themes, readable contrast, keyboard operation, and layouts adapted to mobile and desktop).
In addition to ChatBoo, Adam Jones also develops and operates other products: Australian Poll (providing independent polling and research, as well as free tools for exploring Australian public data, including census, elections, political donations, government contracts, and the live power grid), Lifetree (a free illustrated tree of life for curious people without a biology background, showing relationships and divergence times between mushrooms, octopuses, and humans, with animated images on every branch), AStack (beta, providing "unreal-level" AI characters in any browser, where teams can build training role-plays, product guides, and interactive characters on a single session API, with voice, rendering, and streaming handled by the platform), and Foster Care Journal (planned, in the validation stage, a shared care record for volunteer pet foster carers and rescue coordinators).
Adam Jones also offers website and app development services, but note the style: these are custom development quotes for small businesses, not the pricing standard for the ChatBoo product.Quotes are in Australian dollars, excluding GST, and include: new websites (Starter up to 5 pages AUD 1,500–3,000; Standard 10–15 pages with copywriting AUD 3,000–6,000; care plans from AUD 79/month), website updates (fix list AUD 800–2,500; redesign AUD 2,500–8,000), app features (AUD 4,000–12,000 per feature; customer portal with login AUD 12,000–35,000), mobile apps (installable web app AUD 3,000–8,000; native iPhone and Android AUD 12,000–35,000).
