Hey, I'm Alex

So yeah, I'm that guy who spent over $2,400 testing AI girlfriend apps and NSFW tools. Sounds crazy when I say it out loud, but hear me out.

I used to work as a software engineer for about 7 years. Built apps, understood how AI models work, all that technical stuff. When AI chatbots started getting good around 2023, I got curious. Tried a few AI companion platforms. Some blew my mind. Others were straight up garbage.

The problem? Every review site I found was either some sketchy affiliate farm or sponsored content pretending to be honest. Nobody was actually testing these things properly. Just surface level nonsense written by people who clearly spent like 20 minutes max on each platform.

So I thought, screw it. I'll do it myself. I'll actually use these platforms like a real person would. Spend days with them. Test every feature. Document what works and what's total BS.

How I Actually Test This Stuff

I don't just sign up, click around for 30 minutes, and call it a review. That's not testing. That's lazy.

Here's my process: I spend a minimum of 48 hours with each platform. Usually closer to a week or two. I sign up with my own money (no sponsored trials). I create multiple AI companions with different personalities. I test conversations, image generation, voice features, everything.

I push the AI to its limits. Try weird scenarios. Test the NSFW stuff (because let's be real, that's why most people are here). See how well it remembers previous conversations. Check if the pricing actually makes sense.

Then I document everything. Take screenshots. Compare it to competitors. Figure out who it's actually good for and who should skip it.

Why Trust Me?

Look, I get it. Everyone online claims to be honest and trustworthy. So here's the deal:

  • I pay for everything myself. No freebies, no sponsored trials.
  • I actually use these platforms for days, sometimes weeks.
  • If something sucks, I'll tell you. I don't care about the affiliate commission.
  • I have a technical background so I understand how this AI stuff actually works.
  • My reviews are written by me, a human. Not by AI. Not by some content farm.

Yeah, this site has affiliate links. When you sign up through my links, I get a small commission. That's how I fund more testing. But I only recommend stuff that's actually good. My reputation matters way more than a few bucks in affiliate money.

What I'm Testing Right Now

Currently deep testing Candy.ai (review coming soon). Also keeping an eye on HeraHaven, DreamGF, and a few others that keep popping up. If a platform looks promising, I'll test it. If it's garbage, you'll know.

Got suggestions for what I should test next? Hit me up on Reddit. I'm always looking for new platforms to review.
