CLUSTER CHAT-COMPANION-CUSTOM · 9 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-05-22
Custom character AI companions
This cluster comprises AI companion apps that let users design custom characters—defining appearance, personality, and often voice or backstory—and then interact through chat, voice, calls, or media generation. The dated history shows 7 entries from April 2023 to July 2026, with a gap after 2023 and several entries in 2026, but the pattern is too thin to call a clear trajectory. Traction leaders, based on activity signal, are GirlX - AI Companion, identity-studio, and Convo: Talk to AI Companions, each with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
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.
