just wondering, do you guys actually want your AI companion to do useful stuff?
been thinking about this lately, apps like Replika and c.ai have massive engagement, but they’re basically pure conversation. meanwhile tools like ChatGPT and Claude are useful but totally different.
Seems like there’s an obvious gap here? Something that combines the relationship layer with actual task execution, but I’m not sure if that’s something people actually want, or if adding utility would break the magic.
for those of you who use both types of apps, what’s your experience? do you wish your companion could do real things, or does keeping them separate work better?
