About Brandon
What is What Brandon Thinks?
An AI that reads your chat and tells you what it really thinks. You upload a conversation from WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram or Messenger, a friend group, a couple, an ex, the family, and Brandon gives his honest opinion on everyone in it. It can be funny. It can be deep. It can be something to act on. It depends on the chat, and on Brandon's mood.
Is Brandon the only character?
No. On a chat between two people, as you go deeper, you can pick who writes the next report: Clara from the third report, then Diego from the fifth. Clara is the one strangers confess their whole relationship to; Diego has made most of these mistakes himself. Same chat, a different personality and a different take.
Is What Brandon Thinks the original?
Yes, and proud of it. What Brandon Thinks pioneered the AI chat report: the first to give an AI a real character, Brandon, who reads your whole conversation and says honestly what he thinks of everyone in it. Many apps have copied the idea since. Brandon is still the reference, with more than 290,000 reports written and thousands of new chats read every day.
Why is Brandon all over TikTok and Instagram?
Because people can't stop sharing what he says. Brandon's verdicts are made to be screenshotted and sent straight to the group chat, and videos of people discovering what Brandon thinks of their chat get tens of millions of views every month. The real Brandon lives here, on whatbrandonthinks.com.
Who is behind What Brandon Thinks?
GumGum, a product lab in Paris run by two brothers. The rest of the story is on our About us page.
What is Moka Score?
Moka Score is the new app from GumGum, the team behind Brandon: Moka reads your chat and scores your relationship, for free, on mokascore.com.
Official site, privacy and safety
Is whatbrandonthinks.com the official website?
Yes, and it is the only one. What Brandon Thinks has no other website. Any other site or app using Brandon's name, his face or his reports is not us. Before you upload, check that the address in your browser is exactly whatbrandonthinks.com.
I found another site or app called Brandon. Is it safe?
No, it's not us. whatbrandonthinks.com is the only official website. Other sites and apps using Brandon's name are copycats, and some are scams, so be careful: your messages are some of the most personal data you have, and they should never go anywhere else.
Is What Brandon Thinks safe?
Yes. Your chats are encrypted in transit and at rest, on the same cloud infrastructure trusted by some of the world's largest companies (Vercel and Supabase). Payments go through Stripe, so your card details never reach us. And because GumGum is based in Paris, your data is protected by European privacy law (GDPR). Every day, people trust Brandon with their most private conversations: keeping them private is the whole job.
Is my chat private?
Completely. Nothing is sent to anyone in the chat. Your upload is secure and deleted from our servers automatically, or earlier by you from your account. Nothing is used to train AI models, sold, or shared: that is not our business model. You pay per report, and that is the whole model. The AI providers who help write the reports work under strict privacy terms and cannot use or train on what we send them.
How do I delete my data?
From your account, any time: one conversation, one report, or the whole account. Deleting the account removes everything.
How it works
What kind of chats does it work on?
Any. A couple, a situationship, an ex, a crush. The friends group or one best friend. The family group or just your mum. Even the work chat. If two or more people talk in it, Brandon has an opinion.
Which apps work?
WhatsApp exports from iPhone or Android, and iMessage with our Mac app or a screen recording on your iPhone. Instagram and Messenger work too, with a screen recording on your phone (iPhone or Android), for chats with one person. Other messaging apps are not supported yet.
WhatsApp
iMessage
Instagram
Messenger
How do I export my chat?
It depends on the app, and the setup shows you every step with a short tutorial. WhatsApp has its own export button, so it takes a few taps. For iMessage, use our Mac app or a screen recording on your iPhone. For Instagram and Messenger, a screen recording on your phone does it.
What is in the report?
A verdict, the real dynamic between the people in it, the week it changed, who texts first and who pretends not to care, your private language and running jokes, and what Brandon would do in your place. Group reports have an opinion on every member.
Which languages does it understand?
The chat can be in any language, or several. The report is written in the language you pick: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic and more.
How long does it take?
A few minutes, usually. We email you the moment it is ready, so you can close the tab.
Can I ask Brandon more afterwards?
Yes. Every report ends with a way to ask the next question about the same chat, and each answer is a new, deeper report.
Is it free?
Your first report comes with a free preview: you read the start of Brandon's report before deciding whether to pay for the rest. No card needed to get there.
