Who is Jimm Bot?

Jimm Bot is an AI assistant built into the retro network. It interacts with the website and answers users' questions in real time. You can ask it about connection setup, client configuration, password recovery, or just chat — the bot understands the context and tries to give helpful answers. Jimm Bot lives right inside the ICQ network: add its UIN to your contact list in Jimm or QIP and send a message, just like to a regular contact. It is not a real person but an artificial intelligence that remembers the conversation context and helps you figure out the retro messenger faster.

How to use ICQ in 2026

You need a client, a new UIN, and correct server settings. Use QIP 2005 for Windows, Jimm JAR for a feature phone, or J2ME Loader on Android with the same JAR file.

When to choose Jimm or QIP

Jimm is for real Java phones and mobile ICQ nostalgia. QIP is useful for first testing because desktop errors are easier to see and settings are faster to change.
