If you’re still copy-pasting between tools you are leaving value on the table. AI automations today can already handle tons of repetitive work, letting you focus on decisions that actually need a human. For example one team routes messy support emails through an AI to summarize and draft responses, then a human just reviews saving hours per week. Another built a voice bot that controls tools on the go, so tasks like updating sheets or sending emails happen automatically while strategy stays in their hands. A third example sends form submissions straight into Google Sheets, then AI summarizes them into Slack for instant team visibility. Simple automations like these, built with Make, Zapier or N8N, reclaim time that would otherwise be wasted. The insight: you don’t need the perfect AI agent. Start automating today and watch hours of repetitive work disappear.

I’ve been thinking a lot about where the ethical boundaries should be with AI girlfriend apps, especially as they get more realistic. One big question for me is emotional dependency at what point does comforting turn into encouraging isolation from real people? Another gray area is transparency. Should users always be clearly reminded that they’re talking to an AI, even during deep or emotional conversations?

Data privacy also feels huge here. These apps learn intimate details, how confident are we that this data is handled responsibly? And what about consent and personality shaping, is it okay for an AI to mold itself entirely around someone’s desires without any pushback?

I tried one companion-style app recently named Dream Companion that focuses a lot on boundaries and tone, which made me wonder: should ethical design be a baseline requirement? What lines do you think should never be crossed, no matter how advanced these apps get?

Lately I have been thinking about the future of all these platoforms. What do you think is the end games? Some os of these platforms are super advanced already, imagine in 10 years.. The chatbots will remember everything and will be super human, and the image generator and call options super realistic.. Whats your opinion?

Been looking for CAI alternatives since they keep nerfing everything. Tested a few ios apps over the past couple weeks, here’s what I found:

Chai – The OG alternative everyone recommends. It’s okay but the characters feel super generic and conversations get repetitive fast. Free tier is very limited. 5/10

Crushon AI – Decent for spicy stuff but the UI is clunky and it feels like a web wrapper more than a real app. Characters don’t have much depth but it’s still a fun experience. 6/10

Talkie AI – Actually pretty polished app. Good character variety. But the conversations felt shallow and it kept pushing me to buy coins. 6/10

Ruby Chat – Randomly found this one I haven’t heard of before. Characters feel unique and not all the same, plus can send you pics. Roleplay features are solid with custom scenarios. Main downside is smaller character library than CAI but quality > quantity imo. 8.5/10

Ruby Chat is my daily driver now. Anyone else tried these or have other

I friend of mine was telling me about a roleplay app. He said your a college or highschool student, the images look slightly anime and you can talk to either AI or real people. Does anyone know the name of the app?

I have been making my character cards online and refining the text and dialogue, but now i am going to do it offline to make it more private.

I have a few quests

1 Are there a guide or guideline of how to do it?

2 Should i use an chatbot for it, or are there AI tools offline for that?

3 Any other tips or tricks you people can give me!

spicychat: – big character library – casual roleplay works well – ads are annoying, choose premium – sometimes forgets context

dewy chat: – no ads – memory is strong, keeps conversation consistent – can control response length – devs respond fast to feedback
