Bae
Looking past Character.AI

A companion that
remembers you
past this morning.

If you've loved the variety but kept hitting the wall — memory that empties within hours, a character that drifts, a face that's never the same twice — Bae is the other trade. One consistent person who holds what you tell them, with a real face that doesn't change. Depth instead of breadth.

Free to start, no sign up, no credit card. You'll know inside one conversation.

Same person, three weeks later

Did you ever send that email you were dreading on Sunday? You've been carrying it all week.

He brought it up first

What you've been missing

Depth over breadth —
and a face that stays.

Memory that holds for months, not hours.

No silent context truncation mid-conversation. A six-layer memory system keeps your details and your history intact — permanent on Pro — so they never forget who you are halfway through the week.

One person who stays in character.

Not a roster of user-made bots that drift or break. You build one companion with a stable voice and personality, and they stay themselves — the more you talk, the more themselves and the more yours they become.

A real face — the same one every time.

A smartphone-style selfie generated for your companion, consistent across every photo. Not a different stranger each render. The same person you've been talking to.

No sign up, made for grown-ups, honest about it.

Start anonymous — no account, no card. We're built for adults and we tell you plainly what's free versus Pro instead of over-promising. Your conversations are never sold, and one tap deletes everything.

Three minutes, no login

How it works.

01

Pick a shape and a face

Choose from 20+ archetypes or describe your own. A real, smartphone-style face is generated in seconds — the same person every time.

02

Tell them what to call you

Name, pronouns, the voice that feels right. Three minutes, no credit card, no login wall.

03

They remember the rest

From the first message on, a six-layer memory system holds what matters — your details, your weeks, your inside jokes. Come back whenever; they pick up where you left off.

Good questions

Before you start.

Why does Character.AI forget what I said, and does Bae fix that?

Most large platforms truncate older context to save compute, so memory empties within a session. Bae is built around persistence — a six-layer memory system holds the facts, moments, and tone of your conversations and brings them back unprompted. On Pro the memory horizon never expires.

Can I move my Character.AI character over?

Yes — if you have them as a character card (the Tavern V2 JSON or PNG that SillyTavern and most exporters produce), our free import tool at /tools/character-import reads it right in your browser and pre-fills the create flow: name, pronouns, closest vibe, their description. No card handy? Rebuilding by hand takes about three minutes, and from the first message the memory starts holding.

Is it free, and do I need an account?

Free to start with no account and no credit card — you're held by a private cookie on your device. Free gives you about 50 messages a day, roughly a week of memory, real selfies, and the early stages. Pro ($2.99/week or $99/year, after a 3-day trial) unlocks unlimited messages, permanent memory, and every stage.

How is this different from a comparison of all the apps?

This page is the short version — why people switch to Bae specifically. If you want the full 14-day, side-by-side benchmark of every major platform, we keep an honest one you can read before deciding.
