I’ve tried the main AI companion apps and it’s all the same thing.
Polybuzz is chat + voice.
Kindroid is the closest but its video call is a avatar that is static and the “calls” still don’t feel live.
Soulplay is basically roleplay chat.
None of them let you just open the app and do a real FaceTime-style call with the character. Real-time talking, real-time reactions, actual presence. It’s always delayed, turn-based, or some fake call gimmick.
And before anyone says it, I’ve seen SoulFun get mentioned as AI video chat, but I mean a real live call, not pre-made clips or an animated talking head loop.
It’s just wild that the one feature that would make these apps feel real still isn’t a thing.
