I’ve been following how chatbots are evolving beyond simple Q and A or roleplay, especially around memory, voice, and longer term interaction. One pattern I keep seeing is that most bots reset emotionally every session or jump straight into scripted behavior, which can feel shallow over time.
I’m currently working on Crushh, an AI companion project that’s experimenting with things like persistent memory, gradual relationship progression, voice calls, and shared interactive moments rather than instant intimacy. The goal is to see what actually makes chatbot interaction feel more natural and engaging without pretending the AI is human.
We’re opening a beta and I’d really value feedback from people who actively use or build chatbots. What works, what feels off, and what you wish more chatbot apps would try.
If you’re curious to test it or just want context, here’s the beta link:
