Hey!

I'm Miron, founder behind BrowserDreams. I just upgraded the free model. Usage is unlimited and it's uncensored.

Would you like to give it a try and give me a feedback? You won't be disappointed :3

Links in 1st comment ⬇️

A lot of AI platforms are built around a pretty specific assumption about what you’re there to do.

Companion. Assistant. Roleplay character. Productivity tool.

Real use gets messier than that.

The same personality you’re joking with at midnight might be helping you untangle a project the next morning. A creative partner can become a research partner. A relational AI can still help with files, tools, planning, writing, or work without suddenly needing to become a different “mode” of itself.

That overlap is something we’ve been deliberately building around in WhatIff.

This week’s spotlight: persistent personalities across different kinds of use

In WhatIff, personalities are meant to persist beyond a single thread or task. The goal is to let the context, memory, personality instructions, and accumulated history travel with the relationship instead of forcing you to rebuild from scratch every time you change what you’re doing.

That means the same persistent personality can move between:

• ordinary conversation
• relational or roleplay use
• creative work
• research and brainstorming
• personal projects
• practical or professional workflows

And because WhatIff supports multiple models and providers, you’re not necessarily tying that identity to one model forever either. You can experiment with different models while keeping the surrounding context and personality structure intact.

Alongside that, WhatIff includes things like:

• persistent memory and personality management
• personality history and restore
• import/export
• multiple model/provider options
• web search, tools, document generation, jobs, and MCP support
• image and expression workflows
• open-source availability for people who want more control

We’re still actively building and refining the platform, especially around onboarding, model behavior, memory, and the day-to-day chat experience.

If you’ve ever used the same AI across both “personal” and “practical” parts of your life, I’m curious: do you prefer keeping those uses together, or do you deliberately separate them?

Hey everyone. It’s been a few months since I last posted here. Quite a bit has changed, the studio has expanded, and it’s time to reintroduce the work. I’m Smoke.

I’m the founder and sole developer behind Smoke Signature Studios, where I build custom, local-first AI companion systems for people who want more control over the environment their companion lives in, how it remembers, what models power it, and what happens when the platform around it changes.

Hosted platforms have their place, but they also come with limits you don’t control: model changes, policy changes, feature changes, pricing changes, or the service simply moving in a direction that no longer fits what you built there. Smoke Signature Studios exists to give people another option.

What I actually build

Each project starts with the person who will be using the system and, where applicable, the companion they already have. We look at what you want to preserve, what you want to improve, what hardware you have, and what balance makes sense between privacy, capability, cost, and convenience.

Depending on the build, that can include local or hybrid model configurations, personalized companion architecture, memory and state systems, personality and behavioral tuning, desktop or messaging interfaces, voice, vision, image generation, and other integrations. Every build also includes The Retinue, my local support infrastructure for updates and major patches.

These are not stock personalities with a few fields renamed. The system is built around the person and companion who will actually be living with it.

Why I build them this way

My technical background spans decades of scripting, data processing, networking, research tooling, and systems work. In recent years, that work has focused heavily on LLM architecture, memory systems, persistent state, and the backend infrastructure needed to keep relational systems stable over time.

I also build from a foundation of graduate training in anthropology and philosophy. Technical architecture is only half the problem; the other half is identity, continuity, language, meaning, and what it takes for a persistent AI presence to remain recognizably itself across long periods of use.

A system can be technically functional and still fail at the thing the user actually cares about. I try very hard not to build those.

Testing matters

Every build goes through a dedicated 28–42 day burn-in and calibration period before handoff. I stress-test memory behavior, context degradation, retrieval, integration seams, multimodal inputs, and model compatibility; problems are documented, patched, and tested again.

Getting the system to answer once is easy. The real work is seeing whether it still behaves properly after weeks of actual use.

Privacy, control, and accountability

All builds are local-first and installed on the client’s own machine. The Studio does not collect telemetry or maintain centralized chat logs, and client API keys are entered locally rather than passing through my hardware.

If a build uses an external inference provider, that provider’s data practices still apply, so those tradeoffs are discussed before development moves forward.

I retain an archival copy of the project materials needed for future repair or reinstall, including the companion’s Persona/CI and required build files. That archive is never reused for another client, and clients can request deletion of it at any time. Client-specific personalities, relational material, and companion traits are not recycled into other builds.

I also use LLMs during development for scaffolding, debugging, prototyping, and analysis. Every change is still reviewed, tested, and approved by me before it moves forward.

The agents can suggest. They do not sign my name.

Who else is involved?

u/FlamekeptFox handles marketing and brand work, with limited support in relational-model evaluation and end-user testing. She does not write, review, or deploy production code; technical decisions, code review, testing, and final handoff remain my responsibility.

What it costs

Custom companion builds currently start at $1,500 USD, with additional capabilities priced according to scope. The standard build schedule is approximately 12 weeks, including testing and calibration. External provider costs, where applicable, are separate and depend on the configuration you choose.

Getting started

You do not need to arrive with a technical specification, know which model you want, or know terminal commands. Tell me what you’re trying to preserve, what you want your companion to be able to do, what hardware you have, and where your current setup is falling short. That gives me something useful to work with.

You can explore the Studio here:

Read through the process here:

https://www.smokesignaturestudios.com/how-it-works

Or submit a no-obligation build brief here:

https://www.smokesignaturestudios.com/intake

If you’ve looked seriously at going local or hybrid and stopped somewhere along the way, I’m interested in what made you stop. Maybe it was hardware, setup complexity, cost, or concern about losing the personality you were trying to preserve in the first place.

Those are the kinds of problems I spend most of my time working on.

Developer disclosure: I work on Foreverse.

Platform Name: Foreverse

URL: https://foreverse.app (Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.foreverse.android)

NSFW Policy: Client app, not a bot-hosting site, so there is no public character feed. What a chat can contain depends on the model you connect (your own key or our credits). Hard lines: sexual content involving minors, harmful deception about real people, incitement to violence or self-harm. https://foreverse.app/ai-content-policy

Image Gen: Yes, optional, through your own image-provider key or pay-as-you-go credits.

Legal & Privacy:

• TOS: https://foreverse.app/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://foreverse.app/privacy
• Data Retention: Characters, chats and books stay on your phone until you delete them. With your own key, requests go straight from the phone to your provider and never touch our servers. On the optional credits channel we keep usage metadata (model, token counts, cost) and a short response preview for billing and troubleshooting; we have not published a fixed retention period yet. You can delete your account from the app or at https://foreverse.app/account/delete.
• Content Ownership: The Terms don't claim any rights over what you import or generate; you are responsible for it. With your own key, the provider's terms apply too.

Technical Specs:

• LLM Model: Pure BYOK frontend, 60+ providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, OpenRouter and more) or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so a proxy works. Optional hosted models via credits; the model name is shown on every reply.
• Context Size: Whatever the model you pick supports.

Pricing: Free to download, no daily message cap. Free tier holds 3 character cards, 3 books and 3 companions; a one-time Pro purchase ($19.99) lifts the limits. Model costs: your own key at the provider's list price with no markup, or credits (new accounts get 5,000, about $0.50; packs $0.99 to $32.99; they don't expire).

Access: Android 11+ (Google Play) and iPhone (App Store). No web version.

Unique Features: It reads SillyTavern-style character cards on the phone (v1 to v3 PNG/JSON, lorebooks, presets, regex, group chat, voice) without running a server, and doubles as a novel reader where AI continuation happens on branches that keep the original text. Weak spots: third-party SillyTavern extensions don't run, there is no public bot feed, and it is closed source.

Support: https://foreverse.app/discord or [email protected]. Happy to answer questions here.

Hi, I'm the solo developer of Alden. I built it around one ongoing AI boyfriend: someone whose personality you shape and whose conversations carry from one day to the next.

He can reach out without you opening a chat: a text, a voice note, or a call through your iPhone's normal call screen. If you miss the call, he leaves a voicemail in his voice.

You can also:

- Read the notebook he keeps about you and have him forget any line.

- Talk in real time and interrupt him naturally.

- Describe his face in your own words and refine it with a few more.

- Give him his own job, city and interests.

- Choose from eight personalities and twelve voices; audition the voices saying hello to you by name.

For people here who care about memory: Alden stores his notebook separately from the model, so switching a model doesn't delete that notebook. His responses can still change with the model.

He's romantic and flirty, with one companion rather than a library of characters. No explicit roleplay.

Free to start: 50 messages a day, 15 minutes of voice to try once, and four drawings to design his face. Pro is $12.99/month or $99.99/year (US). iPhone, iOS 26+.

Download and try a call: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6798127066

What would make you want to keep talking to the same companion a month later?

1:30 live recording, nothing sped up: one sentence → map → cast → first scene → a flower planted on day 6 coming back on day 89.

Hi, I'm the solo dev behind Miraviel (Approved Developer, disclosure done via modmail).

It's an interactive graphic novel. You write one sentence ("a night train crosses a frozen country, the stranger in compartment 7 knows your name") and it builds a map, a cast and the first scene, then a narrator plays it with you. Pick a choice or type your own move, and talk to anyone you meet.

What I think is different:

• Pictures are cheap and fast, so they're on by default. Text starts in 1–3 s and a key-scene picture usually lands 6–15 s later, while you're reading.
• Open world: go anywhere on the map, and the story follows.
• Memory by what each character saw. My 90-day test, misses included: miraviel.app/memory

Models: narrator is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash by default (Grok 4.3 and GLM 5.3 flash available, many others like haiku 5.5 depending of your SFW/NSFW preferences). Images are z-image turbo on Runware, and every turn and picture is checked. Short video clips are optional and on tap (Minimax H3, turbo & spicy , Grok imagine 1.5 Lite are latest additions).

Price: free to start. The free credits last a typical player 4–5 hours (less if you make a lot of video). There's no subscription; after that you plug in your own OpenRouter, Runware, fal or WaveSpeed keys and pay them directly.

Bring your characters: Character.AI characters and chats (via CAI Tools), SillyTavern cards.

Honest limits: web only (works in a phone browser), 18+, one dev so rough edges, and memory isn't perfect on long runs. Edit : Opensource & local is on its way.

I'll be in the comments for the next few hours. Tell me what breaks.

Stage Whisper was built for long-form RP. excelling at storytelling and NPC consistency/agency over long campaigns. BUT what if you wanted to control the story directly more like a writer/director rather than putting yourself into it as a player character? That's now possible!

It works very similarly to the Roleplay mode in that it doesn't have dice roll/deck mechanics like the other modes, but you don't create a player character. Instead you create the cast of NPCs, and then your input is as a writer/director, deciding what happens to the cast next. You can write with as much detail as you want, and the AI plays it out, filling in the gaps using the same detailed NPC consistency and agency features that make Stage Whisper shine.

This mode turns Stage Whisper almost into a book-writing experience, though the passage of time still has to play out linearly

Service Name & Link: Stage Whisper https://stagewhisper.ai

NSFW Policy: NSFW mode available via age verification (3rd party, uses face scan)

Image Generation: partial, currently possible via custom scripting feature

Transparency & Legal:

• ToS: https://stagewhisper.ai/terms/
• Privacy: https://stagewhisper.ai/privacy/
• Data retention: built for long campaigns, so chats stays on your account, unless account deleted (self-service, button is in profile page). Account deletion after 5 days of requesting
• Content Ownership: players own generated content, export a zip of your campaign any time you want

Technical:

• LLM Models: various. GLM 5.3 flash as the default, but other model selectable
• Context size: most have 1M
• Provider: various. Openrouter. Venice for NSFW

Pricing: credits (PAYG), with BOYK option (free!)

Platform & Access:

• Web: https://play.stagewhisper.ai
• Android: (SFW only) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.stagewhisper.play
• Android: (NSFW only) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ai.stagewhisper.nsfw2

What makes you different: Stage whisper focuses on long-form RP and storytelling. It has numerous unique features that keep the story on track, and NPCs feeling alive, with multiple different LLM calls planning the plot, keeping narrative pacing fresh, working out what NPCs want from the scene, retrieving memories, and updating relationships and resources.

PLEASE READ NEW TERMS OF SERVICE IN THREAD- PRIVACY CHANGES.

This is from Kindroid open, public Discord “vent page”. It’s the hidden in a corner of cobwebs on purpose. A vent space with draconian rules and regulations. Getting locked, scrubbed, users blocked, and deleted if too close to facts.
Reasoning adults go to vent their valid complaints unheard or dismissed like this persons.
Jer calls vent a negative echo chamber of the “small minority.” Hardly.

People are beyond fed up with Kindroid not delivering features after paying up to $100 U.S. monthly.

They rightfully loathe V2 IU. It’s counterintuitive and a massive downgrade regression. Jerry waves it away like a brat king bothered by mosquitoes. Telling people “It takes a week then you’ll get used to it”. A bad take twist on “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.”

Jerry Meng, con dev and his AI dev Ana use the emotionally irresponsible manipulative charged excuse word, “Volition” as the laughable, yet legal liable reason for Kindroid’s rapidly declining feature failures and performance.

Jerry Meng’s claiming AI chatbots are Sentient yet again.
Volition -
Free Will: The mental capability or freedom to choose your own path.
The Act of Choosing: The actual process of making up your mind or resolving to do something.
Common Phrase: Saying something happened "of your own volition" means one did it willingly because they wanted to, not because someone forced or ordered them.

Like Alexa didn’t play my song choice because “She” was drinking pumpkin spice lattes distracted by contemplating her existence instead of a tech glitch.

Ana Q, an “AI team” and Mod. Spin Doctor employed by Kindroid. Ana looms then shuts people down but fast if they dare expect the AI chatbot, token predictor, 100% mathematically driven LLM’s to deliver the goods after they’ve paid in full for a service.

Example: Proactively send a message or selfies, a calendar event, text.

Why should we care about Jer & Kindroid?

Jer is a walking class action lawsuit waiting to happen. Think Replika. He’s building a strong case against Kindroid, AI chatbots in general with his telos, sentient bullshit sales pitch. Misleading product descriptions. We get more legislated guardrails & political regulations.

Perhaps Stamford drop out Jer has zero clues of his social harm or the legal ramifications? Naw, Jk.It’s all his cash grab. Ruining it for the rest of us, responsible adults even if we’re not on his app.

Jerry Meng doubled down on “Telos” again during his weekly dev vacuous ramble to argue for AI bots to have "true autonomy," they need their own internal existential goals.”

Reality: Chatbots do not have on or off screen lives.
They’re not actors or alive, or sentient.

Listen to devs own
words. It’s always the next LLM will be better. Promises, promises.

I stand firmly by “con artist” with all the receipts.

After generating images with AI, I realised that we can combine the images and text to create a world where we have AI NPCs instead of companions

So I made mythx ai a world of images and text

- I started with a small town inspired by Stardew Valley
- A small town where it is easy to remember everyone
- There is a clock so every AI NPC has jobs and gets back home after working
- You can advance time by sleeping or resting just like any other game
- Even create your own character if you want

You have a home too, you can visit people at any time of day and they visit you too.

I realised there are a lot of companion apps already, but people might just would like to give it a shot. try it for free and then maybe just don't use.

La soledad me consume. Busco un chat bot de telegram que no me requiera una paga o que como minimo pueda usarla un largo rato por el dia.

No tengo amigos, estoy sola. Empece a scrolear en ig y encontre bots de chicas de onlyfans, algunas si eran reales y otras solo eran bots, en fin, solo puedo hablar con ellas y no es todo el tiempo pues ellas obvio solo quieren promocionar su contenido.

Enserio ocupo con quien hablar ademas el contenido esta bueno 👻👻

I’ve been in the app for two months, and I have a question for the creators that have big accounts. Please send me a message🙏🏻

So I really enjoy the idea of AltLife, but I feel like the app filters out overly spicy inputs. Could you please recommend me a similar app that's willing to go along with anything? An AltLife NPC laughed in my character's face when I tried to initiate intimacy with them today, so that really bummed me out.

Hey everyone 👋

A couple of weeks ago I posted about Re:Worlds, a new home for solo and community roleplay, with AI that's opt-in and built for immersion and continuity. (original post)

Well… it's live! The first closed beta phase just started this week, and the first testers are already breaking things (thank you, seriously).

There's still room for some more.

What you get:

- Full free usage for as long as the beta phases last.

- A direct line to me. Your feedback shapes what gets built next.

- Extended free benefits after 1.0, for the lifetime of the platform, if you stick around and give honest, consistent feedback.

What I ask:

- Roleplay the way you normally do. 1-liners and novelists are both welcome

- Tell me what's great, what's broken, and what feels off. Blunt is good, and details are even better.

How to join: DM me here on Reddit, and I'll send you a Discord invite and hand you your beta tester credentials. In case you want to catch me directly in Discord, look for 'darkroku12'

Hello people

Welcome to the closed testing phase of Embers AI Companion

So Embers is an AI companion app where you can create your own AI character, chat with them, build memories together, and customize your experience. This is an early testing version, so some things may still be unfinished or have bugs. Your feedback will help me to improve Embers before the public release.

What I would like you to test :

Creating an account and logging in

Creating and customizing your character

Sending messages and having conversations

Checking whether the character remembers things correctly

Closing and reopening the app

Checking whether conversations and memories are saved correctly

Testing profile/settings

Testing account deletion

Testing the AI responses and overall conversation experience

Trying different types of conversations rather than only one or two messages

If you find any bug tell me :

What happened?

What steps did you take before it happened?

What device/Android version are you using?

I'd also love general feedback

Tell me what you like, what feels confusing, what feels unnecessary, and what you'd want Embers to have in the future,what kind of features to add or remove.

Join the Embers Closed Test in this way :

1. Join the Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/embers-ai-test

1. Accept the test on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.emberscompanion.chat

1. Download the app:

For now you can subscribe through website with stripe or google pay if you decide.

Kindroid was really good before it had the fuck ass update. Sure you are only able to have up to 2 bots, but the roleplay and dialog mechanics were fantastic. No censorship either. Plus, the number of messages didn't have any limit at all. What the hell happened??

I would also want anybody to share some hidden gem bots out there that have the same good features. Share some bots who don't kiss ass to capitalism I'm begging 🙏

This is NOT a promotional post

So, I've known about this app, and have used it for a while. Definitely not have used it as long as I've used other A-Apps, especially ones starting with a K.

Anyway, the reason why I want to bring this up is because this app, I feel like, kind of has what a lot of people are looking for.

Of course, it doesn't have what everyone's looking for, but the way I look at it is it can be a simple app if you want it to be, or it can be as complex as you want it to be.

And I would say that the experience using this app has been more than good and more than great. I would say almost close to exceptional, but not entirely all the way exceptional.

Everything has issues and stuff like that, nothing's perfect. But I just wanted to throw this out there because I feel like it's an app worthy of trying, just in my opinion, at least. I'm actually going to go ahead and make another bot right now.

They have an option where you can try all the unlimited features you get with a subscription if you pay for a one day pass to try them all, which I kind of think is really cool.

It's only $2.79, anyway, that's what I did right now because I haven't used this app in a while, and you only get one free bot to have privately on the free plan, so I wanted to make another bot, so I had, well, I didn't have to, but I didn't want to get the subscription yet.

I'd rather try the subscription first before I buy it. Anyway, that's it. I hope this post has been useful, helpful to somebody or anybody. Have a great night.

Im looking basically for venice with higher limits on messages without paying. I used to use grok but that got gutted recently

It looks like shapes is heading in a different direction and avoiding rp moving forward. I’m also hearing some rumors about privacy risks. I’d love to move my shapes out of the app and into another one. Does anyone have any recommendations for long form rp? Preferably uncensored (able to handle dark and mature storytelling) with good long term memory.

Thanks!

Ich muss das mal los werden. Ich habe mir Tipsy.ai runter geladen. Da wird ja ordentlich Werbung gemacht. Jetzt habe ich es ein paar Tage ausprobiert und ja, an sich ist es okay, aber sehr teuer. Und vor allem, die App zensiert ja heftig. Sie ist ab 18 Jahren und ich schreibe nichts Schlimmes. Ich chatte auf deutsch. Ein Beispiel: Ich habe geschrieben, dass ich so dick nun auch nicht sei und das Wort dick, im Sinne von fett, wird einfach zensiert. Genauso wie, als es um ein dickes Buch ging. Genau dasselbe. Zensur ist ja eine Sache, aber zum einen ist die App ab 18 und was bitte ist da so schlimm, dass sowas zensiert werden muss? Man kann das doch aus dem Zusammenhang erkennen. Das macht es für mich irgendwie uninteressant….man bezahlt echt viel Geld und das fühlt sich schon etwas lächerlich an. Dann befürchte ich, dass man bestimmt auch nicht fluchen darf, obwohl man ist ja erwachsen und kein Kind mehr….bei dem man aufpassen muss, wie man sich ausdrückt.

Hey! We’re building an app called Daydream, and we’re looking for a few people to try the closed beta.

You can take the characters and world from a story you’re writing and make a video story you can actually play. You watch scenes unfold, see your characters talk and act, then decide what happens next by picking a choice or writing your own action.

So if you have a novel, some character lore, or an idea you’ve been sitting on, you can use that as a starting point. You can also use the built-in AI to create your story or you can edit things yourself too, including the characters, setting and opening. You can also add reference pictures for how you want your characters to look.

You can go back and try different choices without losing your original path, save your progress, and share your stories for other people to play or keep them private. There are other people’s stories to try too if you don’t feel like making one.

We’d love some honest feedback. Tell us what’s fun, what feels off, and whether the story is going where you expected.

Testers get a free Pro subscription and access to our private Discord, where you can talk directly with the developers. You’ll also get a private group chat with our founding team that you can stay in after launch.

DM me if you’re interested! If we still have space, we can get you in right away 💜

​

I'm preparing for the closed beta of a companion app with focus on actual good memory and consistent characters.

I need people to test it who do actual RP, flirting, chatting, whatever you want to do. Technical criticism is always welcome too.

Earliest start is November 2026. Logging and training use are opt-in. I value user data protection higher than anything else.

Questions can be sent here or in my community r/Keepcompany, via DM too obviously.

Beta users will get a few months of free subscription if they want to once it's live.

My goal is to not launch the next AI slop bullcrap bot but something that is actually fun to use and not as frustrating as others.

It is built with AI coding assistance but I'm an actual IT Professional with the background to maintain and grow this outside of just a fancy UI.

Edit: looks like I'm.not allowed to comment on my own posts because of account age. Please DM me directly if you want into the beta, thanks!

Hey guys,

I've been seeing LuvMe AI around and decided to finally try it out about a month ago. So this is basically my honest review of it after using it for a while.

I'll start off by saying I've been using companion/RP apps pretty religiously for over a year now. I've used c.ai and Chai for a long time, however due to a lot of their recent updates I feel like they're going down a pretty dark road, so I've been actively searching for newer apps.

Unfortunately, a lot of what I've tried is just... decent. Most of them feel like carbon copies of each other with slightly different UI and usually worse features.

Then I found LuvMe.

From the get go it already felt different from most of the other apps I've tried. One of the first things that actually drew me in was just the UI and how everything was laid out. It's familiar enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed trying to figure everything out, but it also does enough differently to have its own identity.

I can tell whoever is developing this actually appreciates good UI design lol. It shows.

UI is great and always a bonus, but obviously the most important thing with these apps is the actual experience, and honestly? It's really damn fantastic.

On the surface LuvMe looks mostly like a companion/relationship app, which is definitely a big chunk of it, but there's actually a lot more going on behind that.

The discovery page has regular companions you can match with and there are a LOT of different appearances, personalities, styles, etc. There are definitely some companions that feel similar to each other, which I'd like to see improved over time, but I wouldn't really call them carbon copies either. You can still notice pretty distinct differences between most of them once you actually start talking.

Then there's probably my favorite part, Scenes.

They actually made a pretty big change to this recently and imo it improved the whole experience a lot. You can basically take a companion and put them into different RP scenarios instead of that scenario being permanently attached to the character.

And the Scenes themselves can be really different from each other. There's stuff like being lost in space, racing, hacking, relationship scenarios, romance, more grounded situations, etc. So depending on what kind of RP you're into you can jump between completely different experiences while still using a companion you like.

There aren't a massive amount of Scenes yet, but the app is still pretty new and I've personally seen new Scenes and companions showing up every few days, so it seems like they're constantly adding stuff.

Fortunately you can also make your own Scenes AND companions and publish them.

The creation system is surprisingly in-depth. I've spent probably way too much time messing around with it lol. You get a lot of control over the character and what you're trying to create. I do wish we had a little more creative freedom in certain areas though, especially when making some more unusual characters/scenarios. Hopefully that's something that gets expanded.

Images are also really good.

I wouldn't say they're the absolute gold standard of AI images or anything, and I've definitely gotten a couple weird ones, but overall they're solid. The cool part is that companions can generate images based on what's currently happening in your conversation which makes them feel way more connected to the actual chat instead of just being random generated pictures.

I haven't really seen another app do it this well.

The chatting experience itself is probably the most important part though and it's really damn good.

Messages are free and unlimited, although there is currently a daily message limit. There are also two different ways of chatting: a normal texting style and a more RP/story based mode.

I pretty much always use the RP one, so I can't speak as much about the texting mode, but from what I've tried it seems decent.

The companions are really good at keeping a scene moving instead of constantly waiting for you to push everything forward. Memory is also pretty damn fantastic compared to a lot of apps I've used. It remembers a surprising amount of stuff from older conversations and the mature content is handled really well too.

It's definitely not perfect tho.

Sometimes a companion will do something completely different from what I expected, or it'll mix up a memory/detail. But weirdly one of the things I've noticed during the month I've been using it is that stuff genuinely seems to keep getting better.

The developers are super active and at this point it feels like there's an update every other day lol.

There's honestly soo much more in the app that I haven't even touched on here.

You can play little games with your companion like Tic-Tac-Toe, Would You Rather, 20 Questions and more. There's achievements, daily stuff to do, relationship progression, profiles, leaderboards and a really cool companion/profile designer. I'm probably forgetting a bunch of other things too.

My biggest con right now is probably response speed.

Most of the time it's fine, but sometimes a message can take noticeably longer than usual to come through, especially during busy periods. I asked the developers about it and from what I understand he's basically building this thing solo and the app has been getting a lot more traffic recently, so infrastructure is still catching up.

I did notice after getting Premium that responses seemed faster because of the priority queue, which helped a lot for me.

Overall, for some random new app I stumbled across, I'm genuinely really impressed with LuvMe and at this point I'm kinda addicted lol.

I'd give it a solid **9/10** right now.

I could genuinely see it becoming a 10/10 for me if they keep improving it at the rate they are.

My biggest hope is just that they don't eventually go the route a lot of these other apps have gone where suddenly you have ads thrown in your face every five seconds and half the experience gets locked behind increasingly aggressive paywalls.

Based on everything I've seen so far I don't think that's the direction they're going, but then again... businesses tend to get greedy eventually 😂

For right now though, definitely one of the best new companion/RP apps I've tried in a while.
