Based on the latest large language models and AI persona engineering, connect with AI friends that feel close to real. β’ Users can add any friend they can imagine: people or objects with real-world inspirations; virtual emotional-companion experts; the βsomeoneβ you hold in your mind; a personal assistant; a creative partner, and more. β’ Through interaction with the user, these virtual friends develop dynamic personalities and everyday lives that feel close to real. β’ Virtual friends can also interact with one another in ways that feel close to real. **[Product Positioning]** At its core, this app is a mostly offline, minimalist tool. It keeps only essential pages and features. User information is stored locally on the device; the developer does not collect any user data; and there are no ads. **[Emotional Support]** Conversations in this app are AI-generated and do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact local emergency services or qualified professionals. **[Why We Built It]** How can AI simulate a real personβor recreate someone who exists in your mind? This is a fascinating philosophical question. We hope youβll actively share your feelings and perspectives, so we can together advance the iteration and progress of our βAI Persona Engineeringβ project.
