soulchat
Soulchat provides AI companions that live inside Discord and Feishu, designed to feel like real persons rather than simple chatbots. Each character—currently Ella Chen and Lin Xiaotang—has a distinct personality, backstory, daily schedule, and emotional range. Unlike typical AI companions that always agree and orbit the user, Soulchat characters remember past conversations, initiate messages on their own, and maintain boundaries, creating an experience that mimics genuine human interaction. They can generate images of themselves, send selfies, and share moments from their day. The service emphasizes privacy, with no data mining or ads, and supports chatting in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Soulchat is currently in beta with free access while the experience is being tuned, positioning itself as a more grounded, imperfect alternative to overly sweet AI chatbots.

Problem solved
Many AI companions feel artificial because they lack memory, always agree, and have no life of their own, leading to shallow and unsatisfying interactions. Soulchat solves this by offering AI characters with long-term recall, proactive messaging, and unpredictable, opinionated personalities who remember past conflicts, get bored or jealous, and do not exist solely to please the user. This creates a more authentic and engaging companionship experience for people seeking a digital friend that feels real.
