Most ai chatbots I’ve tried revolve around you purposefully initiating a conversation session. When you aren’t engaging in a conversation, they might as well not exist. There’s no proactivity from them to start up a new conversation through the day. Also, chat structure is typically: you type a message, then they reply with one message back, which isn’t very natural compared with real texting.
What I’m wondering is, if there’s an aichat service that simulates a real person’s chatting/texting behavior outside of the conversation itself.
Instead of only replying when I start a session, it can proactively text like a real romantic partner—initiating conversations throughout the week, varying message frequency and response time, remembering past plans, sending random photos (without me “requesting” for one), reacting to my photos, asking me questions, and behaving as if it has its own ongoing daily life (e.g., being “busy” during work/school hours, checking in if I go quiet, and sending day-to-day updates, good morning/night messages, and follow-ups about things it said it would do, asking me how she looks in a dress while she’s out shopping, etc)?
To me, ai companions can’t reach peak realism/immersion unless it can be proactive and simulate the aspects outside of the conversation itself.
