SoulChat — our take
A deliberately hand-authored cast of six rather than a community character library — you trade variety for characters that keep one consistent voice.
- Free tier needs no account at all — 5 messages before you sign up
- Six companions with one fixed voice each, plus your own custom characters
- In-chat selfie generation with a free daily quota, plus group chat with spatial audio
BSide: Olivia Lin — our take
A free, polished ambient companion from the Genshin studio: piano performances, MIDI-to-music-video generation and pen-pal letters.
- Free from a major studio
- MIDI upload turns songs into music videos
- Letter-based slow companionship
