Six hand-written companions with long-term memory, free to try without an account

A deliberately hand-authored cast of six rather than a community character library — you trade variety for characters that keep one consistent voice.

Free character chat that runs locally or in the cloud

The most generous free tier in the category: unlimited chat on locally run models, 600 cloud messages a day, no card required.

Self-hosted AI platform with personas, RAG and a 500k+ community

The power-user pick: run any model locally or in the cloud with zero data retention and full control.

AI romance with Pixar-grade avatars, voice calls and role-play worlds

Ex-Pixar/Oscar animator avatars, full voice chats and world-based group roleplay — built by self-described ex-Replika users.

AI characters that live in your group chats

A multiplayer twist: add customizable AI characters to Discord, Telegram or the web with persistent memory, free.

Build and train your own AI companion from scratch

A build-your-own companion toolkit: train custom AI pets with your own datasets, custom voices and image generation.

Open-source multi-bot chat with persistent memory

Free and genuinely capable, with chat memory and multi-bot scenes.

Text adventures where the AI is your game master

Not a companion app, but the best pure narrative engine if you want a story rather than a partner.

Story-driven social roleplay with author-built worlds

A thoughtful, moderation-friendly take on AI roleplay that stays firmly in narrative territory.

AI character chat, interactive stories & roleplay with custom characters

AI companion network in the Miyox.AI group: character chat, interactive stories, roleplay and a creator. Browsing is free; chatting is metered by account tier and model via an in-app wallet. Mature content sits behind an 18+ sign-in gate.
