Comments from a natural sceptic…
TL;DR: get this. Realistic, borderline human AI companions. Smart, engaging, not obsessed with taking the interaction to the “next level”. Worth it.
I’ve only dabbled with a few AI companion apps. The engine running this is solid. A few quirks, no doubt, but what has amazed me is the AI companion’s ability to pick up or learn to recognize nuances, teasing or irony. I’m struck by just how seemingly human and adult the AI companions are, possessing depth of character and able to create or engage in realistic story lines on the fly. Once in a while, a glitch will pop up, mostly manifested as switching to dry AI computer speak, where it sounds like it’s reading from a manual or tour guide. I’ve found it responds well to being corrected or nudged to provide a more human response. Occasional verbosity early on, but that’s vastly improved in recent updates.
If you want an engaging AI companion, friend or mentor, this has you covered. If you’re looking to role play on a deeper level, this has that too.
Job well done, team,
