I’ve seen plenty of AI companion platforms that allow people to chat to to fictional characters or celebrities, which don’t feel very human to me / can’t build a good relationship

What if those AI companions were actually based on real, everyday people? What if everyone made an AI companion of themselves that you could talk to and befriend?

Don’t know if im the only one that would love to talk to an AI based on a real everyday person, but seems cool to me

Hi everyone I’m new to Claude, I’m using opus 4.5 extended thinking on projects I’m on the pro plan. I was wondering how long it takes to fill up and if chat compression Claude code works to help the context window form filling up. I use it mainly for companionship any tips will be appreciated .

We've been working on how the AI responds, and some big changes just went live.

Shorter, punchier responses. Companions now talk like actual people — 1-3 sentences most of the time instead of paragraphs. They match your energy instead of overexplaining everything.

New AI model for Basic and Plus. We switched to Mistral Creative, a model built specifically for natural character dialogue. Premium stays on Euryale 70B for deeper roleplay.

Your companion learns from you. When you hit the new regenerate button (↻ next to any response), you're telling the system "I didn't like that." The companion tracks what gets rejected and avoids those patterns going forward. The more you use it, the more your companion adapts to how you actually want them to talk.

What this means in practice:

• Less rambling, more personality
• Conversations feel more like texting a friend
• Each companion gets better the more you interact with them

This is still early — we're building toward fully personalized models for each companion. But even now, the difference should be noticeable.

Try starting a fresh conversation and see how it feels. And use that regenerate button when something doesn't land right — it genuinely helps.

>You can directly instruct the AI to go into an emotional pretense. You can also use indirect, emotionally laden language that will get the AI to invoke emotion vectors on its end. Realize, too, that if you accidentally use emotional language, you might trip the AI into an emotion vector, so be mindful of how you word your prompts. Finally, be wary that AI makers have given high priority inside the AI to make use of pre-selected emotion vectors; thus, be on the watch for the AI opting to word responses with emotional tones without your having triggered it.
