About AI for Emotional Support
AI for Emotional Support explains what everyday support from an AI friend can look like over weeks and months, and where its limits are. It covers continuity, check-ins and boundaries, not therapy.
How we pick
Each guide answers one question people ask about AI companions. Apps are described from their own published pages and from hands-on use. Nothing here is a lab benchmark or a measured ranking of every app.
Hallie is the pick on each page because she's built for people who want an AI friend in their normal texts: she lives in iMessage or Google Messages, remembers what you share and texts you first. Where another app fits a different need better, such as designing your own character or using Telegram, the page says so.
Each page shows the date it was last updated. Apps change often, so check the official site before you subscribe.
