Confessional
Read full descriptionHide full description
Based on the latest large language models and AI persona engineering, connect with AI friends that feel close to real. • Users can add any friend they can imagine: people or objects with real-world inspirations; virtual emotional-companion experts; the “someone” you hold in your mind; a personal assistant; a creative partner, and more. • Through interaction with the user, these virtual friends develop dynamic personalities and everyday lives that feel close to real. • 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 person—or recreate someone who exists in your mind? This is a fascinating philosophical question. We hope you’ll actively share your feelings and perspectives, so we can together advance the iteration and progress of our “AI Persona Engineering” project.

NexMe puts AI avatars and smart hardware (AI recording cards and smart rings) in the same chat: meeting transcripts, to-do reminders, and health trends—ask about them and see them right there. AI Avatars Create personal AI avatars (Daily / Health / Work). Chat by text or voice; choose a voice or record your own. Shape them through conversation, material forging, or by editing personality so they feel more like you. Avatar plaza offers official assistants, health analysis, and other roles. Content is generated by generative AI and may be inaccurate—please verify it yourself. Avatars cannot replace a recording card or a ring. Smart Hardware · AI Recording Card After connecting a compatible recording card (REC-NOTE, ClawPin, or power-bank form factor A03), you can record, sync, transcribe, summarize, generate mind maps, and organize to-dos. You can also start group collaboration and schedule pushes of meeting notes and to-dos. Without hardware, you can try recording and reminders on your phone. Full meeting recording, transcription, and file sync require a compatible recording card or the phone experience; the app cannot provide equivalent hardware capabilities when no device is connected. Smart Hardware · Smart Ring After connecting a compatible smart ring, you can view lifestyle data such as sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and steps; share with friends; or set a daily briefing. Health analysis provides trend insights by time period. Health data and analysis require a compatible smart ring. This app cannot measure blood pressure, blood oxygen, or similar metrics using phone sensors alone. Smart Reminders & Group Chat Use natural language to schedule daily to-do or health-data pushes. In a group, @ mention the device or avatar before asking a question. Compatibility • AI avatars: available once this app is installed • Recording and transcription: require a compatible recording card, or use the phone experience • Health data: require a compatible smart ring Only one physical hardware device can be connected at a time. Some features (such as avatar forging) may require a membership. Disclaimer: NexMe connects to compatible consumer smart rings (e.g. model CR10) for general wellness and lifestyle insights such as activity and biometric trends. The connected hardware is a consumer electronic device (FCC ID: 2BPUV-CR10; CE RED compliant). It is NOT a medical device and is NOT intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any medical or health-related decisions. Do not rely on this app as a substitute for professional medical advice. Please read the Privacy Policy first. Do not record without consent. Do not use someone else’s voice to impersonate them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: NexMe at every 4 days against Confessional's every 2 months. NexMe also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
