AI companions and character chat — the short answers
Every number here comes from our own daily check — not from a vendor list.
AI companions and character chat — how many are there?
Tablif is tracking 61 of them. 61 answered our check today.
Which ones are still maintained?
Tablif knocks on every door once a day and records the answer. 61 of these 61 responded on the latest run, so that number is what "still here" means on this page — not a review score.
Are any of them free?
13 of the live ones say so in their own words, and 4 let you start without making an account. Tablif records the claim the product makes; we don't verify pricing.
Any open-source options?
1 of the live ones on Tablif mention being open source.
What's the newest one?
GRACE — Tablif first saw it yesterday.
Did a person actually look at these?
58 of them Tablif opened and read, then wrote a one-line summary in our own words instead of reusing the founder's tagline. The rest carry keyword labels we haven't confirmed by reading yet — and we say so rather than hiding it.
