Getting started
For adults trying an AI girlfriend app for the first time: what the first week looks like, what to set up, and what to ignore.
AI girlfriend app problems: bug or free tier?
The character forgot Monday, a reply crawled, an image never arrived. Before you report it or pay to fix it, work out which of three things it actually is.
AI girlfriend app message limits: how they reset
Running out mid-sentence is a design decision, not a glitch. The two kinds of reset, what counts as one message, and when a capped plan beats a coin meter.
AI girlfriend app first conversation: what to expect
The opening chat is the best one most apps will give you, because the greeting was written by a person and the memory is still empty. How to read it anyway.
AI girlfriend app character setup: what locks in
The setup screen feels like the decision the whole thing rests on, and mostly it is not. Which parts you can rewrite on day ten, which four you cannot, and what the locked rows tell you about the bill.
AI girlfriend app free plan: what you get
The free tier is not a smaller version of the paid one. It is the part the app is confident about, with the rest fenced off in one of four ways. Here is how to read the fence.
AI girlfriend app sign-up: what it actually asks for
Signing up is not one form. It is three gates run by three different parties, and the first one changed this year. Here is what each screen wants, and which parts you can decline.
Your first week with an AI girlfriend app
