Hi, I'm Steve.

Founder and editor

I explore AI companion platforms firsthand and write candidly about what feels exciting, awkward, or not worth your time.

About Steve

I am not here to talk anyone into an AI girlfriend. If you have someone real in your life, go and be good to her. This site is for the rest of us.

I started testing these products for the ordinary reason: I wanted to know whether any of them were actually any good, and every page I found about them was either an advertisement wearing a review’s clothes or a list of features copied off the pricing page. So I started paying for the things myself and writing down what happened.

That is still the whole method. I make an account, build a companion, spend real time in the conversation, and pay to get past the paywall where the interesting part is behind one. Then I write it up — the good bits, the parts that got repetitive by day three, and the moment the upsell showed up.

I keep my face off the internet, which is why the photograph has a bar across it. Everything else here is straight.

How I test the platforms

I create an account, build a companion, and spend real time in the conversation. Where the interesting part is behind a paywall, I pay to get past it.

I write about what happened, including the disappointing parts. No platform pays for a review, a score, or a place in a comparison.
