AI Chat Ratings
Rove reads the room. Every active conversation is scored in real time on an MPAA-style rating — G through X — so you always know the tone before you open a chat.
This is emotional safety by design.
The Rating Scale
| Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|
| G | Wholesome, respectful, curious |
| PG | Light flirting, playful banter |
| PG-13 | Suggestive but still grounded |
| R | Sexual language or strong content |
| X | Explicit or inappropriate — flagged for human review |
The rating updates continuously as the conversation evolves. You'll see it displayed next to each chat in your inbox.
Why We Built This
Women have told us what they want, and what they don't. What they don't want is opening an inbox without knowing what's waiting inside. What they do want is the ability to engage deliberately.
The rating system gives you:
- Transparency — the tone, before you commit attention to it
- Safety — quick signal when something's shifted
- Choice — engage with what feels right, skip what doesn't
- Accountability — a clear line men can feel in their peripheral vision as they write
This rating is visible to women so they can choose where to invest their time.
What the AI Looks At
The model evaluates:
- Language and tone — word choice, register, warmth
- Topic appropriateness — context-aware, not keyword-blocking
- Suggestive or explicit content — scaled, not binary
- Conversation trajectory — how things are moving, not just a snapshot
The model reads context. A message that would feel "PG-13" early in a conversation might be normal once rapport is established — the rating accounts for that.
Privacy
- Messages are processed by OpenAI's models over an encrypted connection.
- Rove does not read your conversations manually.
- Ratings are private to the two people in the conversation.
- Human review happens only when an X-rated conversation is flagged for moderation.
What Happens at X
A conversation flagged X triggers review by Rove's trust and safety team. If the content confirms a violation, the user may be warned, suspended, or permanently removed from the platform — depending on severity.
This is never shown as a badge or public signal. It's a backstop.
What's Always Off-Limits
The rating system categorizes tone. A handful of things are simply prohibited, regardless of rating:
- Harassment or threats
- Illegal content
- Spam or scams
- Gore, graphic violence, or self-harm content
- Solicitation
Violations bypass the rating and trigger immediate review.
