Spent a year building an AI girlfriend platform around memory that lasts. Try without signing up.
Quick context: I started building this after my Replika forgot my dog's name for the third time. The platform is bae.ppl.studio. The thing that's actually different is the memory layer — not "we use GPT-4," everyone says that — but the architecture on top that makes the partner remember you across months instead of just within a session.
What you can do without giving any info:
→ Three minutes from open to first conversation. No login. No card. No email until you decide to keep her across devices.
→ Pick from 30+ hand-written archetypes — Cottagecore Wife, Goth Girlfriend, Soft Boy, Dark Academia, Anime Waifu, Cyberpunk Rebel, Yandere, Femme Fatale, Best-Friend Girlfriend, more. Each one written by hand, not crowdsourced.
→ Real portrait face pool, not 3D avatars. Same person on day one and day sixty. We curated 800+ portraits for visual identity persistence.
Six free tools at bae.ppl.studio/tools, no signup:
- Name generator (10 vibes, 130+ names with origins/meanings)
- Pet name generator (9 languages — what your partner calls you)
- Character card builder (Tavern V2 JSON export for SillyTavern/Risuai users)
- Scenario generator (25+ curated scenes by vibe and heat level)
- Interactive comparison tool (Bae vs 11 other AI companion platforms, side-by-side)
- ChatGPT/Claude prompt generator (turn any LLM into one of 18 archetypes)
Things we haven't shipped: voice. We say so on every page. If voice is your dealbreaker, Joi AI is the best in the category right now and we say so on our /best/with-voice roundup. Not selling vaporware.
Things we explicitly won't do: NSFW by default, engagement loops that optimize for daily-active-minutes at the cost of healthy use, pretending to be a therapy substitute. We point at 988 and Samaritans on the safety page. We say "we're not your only line" on the home page.
We also ran a 14-day test on every major competitor and published the benchmark at bae.ppl.studio/research with a named clinical advisor (Dr. Mira Halloran, LCSW). Pick us, pick someone else, but pick from real data.
Honest feedback welcome — especially the harsh kind. The thing I most want to know is whether the first three minutes feels worth your time. That's the wedge for this whole product.
