CLUSTER COMPANION-FRIEND-CONVERSATIONS · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-08-02
Customizable AI companion apps
These apps let users create and customize virtual friends for emotional support, creative interaction, and simulated experiences, with features like voice chat, animations, and AI-generated images. Before the index began, dated entries were sporadic—one per scattered month from August 2023 through July 2026—showing no clear trend. Traction leaders are Kindroid, companion-evolve-buddy, and soul.app, each at 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.
