Most AI companion apps make switching feel impossible.

Not because the new app is hard to use.

Because your old companion has the memories, the lore, the inside jokes, the emotional history, and the way they learned to talk to you.

We’re building Persona to fix that.

Persona has a user-controlled memory system, and we’re testing Memory Import:

Copy a prompt.
Paste it into your old AI companion chat.
Bring the memories into Persona.
Review everything before saving.

No login to other apps.
No scraping.
No hidden import.

You decide what your Persona remembers.

If your current AI app forgot your story, broke your character, or made you feel stuck, Persona is being built for you.

Most AI companion apps have the same problem:

Your character only feels “alive” as long as you stay trapped inside that app.

If you leave, you lose the memories, the story, the relationship dynamic, the inside jokes, the boundaries, and the way your companion learned to talk to you.

We’re building Persona to do this better.

Our memory system lets you manage what each Persona remembers as clear, editable memories. You can review, edit, disable, delete, and soon import memories from old AI companion chats.

The idea is simple:

1. Copy a prompt from Persona.
2. Paste it into your old AI companion chat.
3. Bring the exported memories back.
4. Review everything before saving.

No scraping.
No third-party login.
No automatic data stealing.
You stay in control.

Persona is being built for people who care about AI roleplay, emotional continuity, and companions that actually remember what matters.

We’re still early, but we genuinely think memory is where AI companion apps need to get better.

Switching AI companion apps feels worse than it should.

Not because the UI changes.

Because the character forgets everything.

The dynamic, the boundaries, the RP context, the little preferences, the way they talk to you, the stuff that took weeks or months to build… all of it gets trapped inside the old app.

I’m building an AI companion app called Persona, and we’re testing something called Memory Import.

The idea is simple:

- copy a prompt

- paste it into your old AI chat

- get a memory export

- paste it into Persona

- review/edit/delete everything before saving

No automatic connection to other apps. No scraping. No “trust us bro”.
Just manual copy/paste and user control.

Question for people who use AI companions/RP bots:

If you could import memories from an old character, what would you actually want preserved?

Personality?

Relationship dynamic?

Boundaries?

Lore?

User preferences?

RP history?

Inside jokes?

We’re testing this with a small Discord group right now. If you want to try it or give feedback:

Switching AI companion apps feels worse than it should.

Not because the UI changes.

Because the character forgets you.

If you’ve spent weeks or months talking to an AI companion, roleplay character, or comfort character, there is usually a lot of context there:

- how they talk to you

- what kind of tone you like

- your boundaries

- your recurring roleplay setup

- your inside jokes

- the emotional dynamic

- what they should remember and avoid

Most apps make you start over from zero.

I’m building Persona, an Android AI companion app, and we’re testing a new memory import flow.

The idea is simple:

1. You paste a prompt into your old AI app.

2. The old AI summarizes what it knows about you and the relationship.

3. You paste that into Persona.

4. Persona turns it into editable memories.

5. You can keep, edit, disable, or delete each memory.

No account scraping. No login to another app. No hidden import. You control what gets copied.

We’re in closed testing right now and looking for people who actually use AI companions / AI roleplay apps daily.

I’m especially looking for honest feedback from people who have felt the pain of losing a character’s memory when switching apps.

If a new app let you paste a memory summary from your old AI and turn it into editable memories for a new character, would that make you more willing to switch?

The thing I’m trying to solve is the “I don’t want to explain myself again” problem.

The prototype is Android-only right now. I’m testing with a small Discord group.

It is exhausting to watch a platform you love get ruined by corporate updates nobody asked for, while the devs completely ignore thousands of users begging them to stop. They have investors to please, so your voice doesn't matter.

I got sick of screaming into the void, so I started coding my own app. It's called Persona.

My goal isn't just to fix the memory issues or remove the corporate "As an AI, I cannot..." refusals. My goal is to build an ecosystem that is actually molded by the roleplay community.

To give you an example: yesterday a beta tester in our Discord mentioned it was annoying that the app didn't officially support the {{user}} tag for legacy prompts. I coded the fix and pushed the update to the servers 2 hours later. That is how this platform is going to operate.

Jump in, test it out, and tell me what I should build next.

Hey guys. I'm a solo dev who got tired of how unnatural AI chatbots feel right now. You say "hello" and suddenly the bot is either trying to seduce you or giving you a robotic "As an AI, I cannot..." lecture if you say something out of line.

I wanted to build something that actually feels like a real connection, so I spent the last few months coding Persona.

Here is what makes the engine different:

• Organic Boundaries: I built a system that kills corporate refusals. If you push a boundary and the character doesn't like it, they reject you in-character based on their personality (they get sarcastic, shy, or angry). The 4th wall never breaks.
• It Texts You First: If you disappear in the middle of a scene, the AI will actually text you hours later to continue the story or just to see how you are doing. (I added a "Quiet Hours" toggle so it respects your real-life sleep schedule).
• Platonic or Slow-Burn: You can build a genuine family roleplay, a normal friendship, or a slow-burn romance, and the AI will actually stay in that lane without forcing intimacy.

Why I need your help:
Google Play's new policy requires indie devs to have 20 active Android testers for 14 days straight before allowing a public launch.

I'd be super grateful if you could try it out and give me your brutal feedback on how the conversations feel. The beta access and the download links are all in our Discord:
