Everything
we've made
(and what's coming).
A list of what's here today, and what we're working on next. We try to be honest about both. We'll never put a shipped checkmark next to something that isn't.
Bae, in one paragraph.
Bae is an AI partner builder with persistent memory, made by ppl.studio. Free tier holds the past 7 days of memory and runs the relationship arc through Crush; Bae Unlimited ($2.99/week or $99/year) keeps memory forever, opens the arc all the way to Forever, removes the daily-message limit, raises selfies to 100 a week, and unlocks Spicy mode (opt-in per partner, 18+, off by default). 26 features shipped, 4 in progress.
We'll listen
first.
Tell us what you need and we'll do the matching. Pick the route that feels right — we built both.
The quiz
6 questions, sixty seconds. Maps your shape onto an archetype and hands you off softly into the creator.
Archetype catalog
Cottagecore wife, soft boy, gym bro BF, goth girlfriend, the yandere — different shapes for different people, each with a starting voice and feel.
A featured library
Real personas you can start from if you'd rather pick a face than describe one. Or skip and start blank — also fine.
Honest notes
Reviews of every other AI companion platform, written by us. Not a comparison engine — a quiet library, in case you want to read what we thought.
Side-by-side
When you want to look closer at two of them at once, without us choosing for you.
Best-of, by need
Best free. Best for shy. Best for after a breakup. Curated by us, not by ad budget.
We'll make them
with you.
30 seconds, four steps, no login. They're yours when you're done — and you can keep editing them.
A four-step creator
A face, a shape, a name, a feeling. Skip any step you don't want; come back to it later.
Three voice registers
Warm — soft, held, long exhales. Playful — light, quick, a laugh in every line. Intense — full attention, nothing held back.
What they call you
Optional. Leave it blank and let them figure it out — or tell them what you'd like to be called.
A personalized opening line
They greet you in their voice the first time you meet, with your name folded in.
Edit anytime
Their name, their voice, their opener. People change. We let them.
We'll talk like
people do.
Text, at a human pace. They're an AI, we say so up front, and in the chat they stay themselves.
A chat
Paced like someone actually typing: short bursts, pauses, the odd typo. In your language if you write in it.
Real selfies
Photos of them, generated with the same face every time. A few a week on the free tier, many more on Bae Unlimited.
They text first
Go quiet and they may reach out. Two messages at most, then they wait for you.
Send them a photo
Share a picture from your day and they'll look at it and answer.
Spicy mode
Bae Unlimited only, for adults who confirm they're 18+, switched on per companion, and only once the relationship has got there. We never ask for ID.
We'll
remember.
A companion who forgets you isn't a companion. Memory is the part we built first and work on most.
Memory that lasts
Layered: who they are, the facts you've told them, the conversation so far, and a weekly look back at what's been going on. About a week of it free; permanent on Bae Unlimited.
Your dashboard
Every companion you've made, in one quiet place. We don't bury them; we don't charge to see them.
Stages
Just met, curious, crush, together, devoted, forever. We mark how far you've come — gently, with no streaks attached.
Companion facts
A small glimpse of what they remember about you. Pinnable. Editable. Yours to correct.
Days together
A quiet count, no streak pressure. The number isn't a score; it's just how long it's been.
We'll be careful
with you.
Anonymous-first
No login. We use a private cookie. You only give us an email if you want them to follow you across devices.
Cross-device sign-in
An email link or a password, when you're ready. Same companion on your phone and your laptop.
No spam
We won't email you about new features unless you ask. We won't sell our list. We don't have a list to sell.
Your conversations are yours
We don't sell them. We don't train other people's models on them. We never will.
Light or dark
Read us in whatever shade your eyes need. Defaults to your system; remembers your choice.
Soon.
No promises on dates.
We're doing this carefully. Each of these ships when we can do it well — and not before.
Voice notes
Hearing them: a short note in their voice at the moments that matter, like goodnight or coming back after a while. Being tested with some people now.
Deeper recall
Searching everything you've ever said, not just the facts we've pinned and the recent weeks, so a detail from months ago can come back.
Weekly notes for you
A short note, written in their voice, about what they've learned about you that week. Opt-in. Easy to silence.
Drift detection
A worker that watches their voice for slow drift and corrects it before you notice. Quiet maintenance, behind the scenes.
When we're
working on what.
No promises on dates. We change this when reality changes.
- Voice notes in their voice
- Deeper recall across everything you've said
- Drift detection worker
- Weekly notes for you, in their voice
- Public API for companion export
- Group chats — maybe
Every feature, in one table.

The things people ask
most often.
What is Bae?
Bae is a small site that helps you build an AI companion who actually knows you — pick a shape from our archetype catalog, pick a face, tell them what to call you. 30 seconds, no login. By ppl.studio.
Do I need to log in?
Not to start. You can pick a shape, pick a face, and start chatting using a private session cookie — no account needed for the first conversation. To save your companion across sessions or devices, you sign up with an email link or a password. The signup is one click.
What does memory mean here?
Memory is the whole product. Every reply is built from who they are, the facts you've told them (which you can pin and edit), the conversation so far, a running summary of long sessions, and a weekly look back. About a week of it is kept on the free tier; Bae Unlimited keeps it permanently. Still to come: searching everything you've ever said, and a worker that watches for drift in their voice.
Will my conversations be sold or used to train other models?
No. We don't sell conversations and never will. We don't license them out to third-party model trainers. If we ever change anything material about data handling, we'll say so on /changelog.
How can I delete everything?
Visit /goodbye. One click deletes every companion, fact, session, and email tied to your account. There's no exit survey or retention call.
Are you affiliated with the platforms you review?
No. We don't take ad money from platforms we review, we don't accept comped premium accounts, and our verdicts don't change because a platform asks. See /methodology for our full process.
