An unexpected remark, a perfectly timed reply, moments when it feels less like you're dealing with a chatbot and more like someone with a personality.</p> <p>It's still early days (very early 😅), but I'd love to hear honest feedback from people who actually use AI companions or who fancy giving it a go.</p> <p>If you want to give it a go : <a href="https://bewitch.fr/en/ai-girlfriend/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bewitch.fr</a> , there's a free version.</p> ai programming llm
