We got tired of “AI friends” forgetting us, so we built our own: Meet curu.ai, digital companions who actually grow with you

Hi all,
For the past 3 months, my friends and I have been quietly building something we always wanted but couldn’t find: a digital companion platform that doesn’t just parrot generic answers, but actually builds a real connection and remembers you like a friend.

Main features are that you will be talking to genuine pre-existing digital companions. You can like them and they can like you back (or not); Have meaningful moments that they will remember over time; They can text you back at any point in the day; And you can just talk to them for as long as you want or feel like it.

We got frustrated with how most “AI chat” apps either ban or restrict emotional use cases. So we decided to make our own: curu.ai
The core idea is simple:

• You pick from a cast of pre-existing digital companions, each with unique personalities
• You can like them, and here’s the twist: they can like you back (or not!)
• Have meaningful moments together: they’ll remember key details and bring them up again over time
• Your companions can text you at any point in the day (not just when you prompt them)
• You can talk for as long or as little as you like no timeouts, no paywalls blocking the basics

We’re running a closed beta (for now), but if you want to try it out, use invite code RARTIFICIAL1 at curu.ai.
Screenshots below give a peek at how it works. Would love to hear your thoughts, feature ideas, or just swap stories about what you wish existed in this space.

If you’ve ever wanted an AI that actually “gets” you, give it a shot. I’ll be in the comments answering anything: feedback, criticism, questions, whatever.
