CLUSTER COMPANION-PET-EVOLVE · 17 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-09-30
AI pet companion apps
This cluster consists of mobile apps featuring AI companion pets that users raise through feeding, chatting, and play, with persistent memory and evolution of pet life stages. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from — the cluster predates the index or its members are undated. Traction is led by mochi and ZaiChang, each with 2 activity stars, while watch-pet-palace lags with 0.
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.
