Animated AI voice companions

This cluster consists of AI companion apps featuring animated avatars and voice interactions, spanning mobile and desktop platforms. Entry counts before the index start were low and irregular through 2023-2025, then increased in mid-2026 with three entries in May and two each in June and July. On traction, dsh-voice-ai-girlfriend leads with 73 stars, while LiraOS has 11 and voice-animated-pal has 0.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
