"It is so incredibly refreshing to see a tech company build a companion device without resorting to GenAI for the art. Knowing every model and expression is actually human-crafted, and that artists were paid for it, makes me genuinely want to support this."

"Consent matters. Sourcing fully licensed voicebanks and paying real performers instead of just cloning voices off the internet is exactly how you build trust. This is the ethical standard the industry desperately needs right now."

"Most companions apps feel hollow because they're just text. Being able to upload my own 3D models and my character's lore; seeing my creation come to life where I can see and talk to it, it's so different and it's my creative vision."

"You can immediately feel the difference between slop vs. real models & animations. They have that weight and life to it unlike the slop that's just an average mush of everything. The fact that real animators are cleaning up the mocap data shows they care about the details."

"I usually avoid anything 'AI' like the plague because of the ethical issues with stolen assets. This is the first product that does it right. Hiring real artists, [motion capture] actors, using licensed voicebanks; only using it so characters can talk."
