From the readers
Stories from the readers.
A weekly column of curated submissions from people who actually use AI companion apps. Three to seven stories a week, lightly edited, mostly anonymous.
This column is the closest thing this site has to thirty-day reviews. Every Friday we publish a handful of stories from the submission inbox. People write about which app they tried, what worked, what surprised them, what unsettled them, what they would tell someone else thinking about starting. We edit lightly for clarity, we anonymize names of real people mentioned, and we run stories anonymously by default.
