Feel real is the search. Nobody typing it wants a lecture about philosophy. They want a woman who remembers the Tuesday thing on a Friday.
The apps that came closest in our tests all did the same unfashionable work: they kept a history, they didn't let her personality dissolve, and they didn't interrupt a good night with a discount code. Photos help. Voice helps more. Memory is the floor.
A companion that charms you in the demo and forgets your name by week three is worse than useless.
How we test
GoLove is the one I'd open tonight. Candy if the face is the whole product. OurDream if you wanted the trailer lighting. Everything else is a chatbot in a pretty dress.
