What people
actually want
from an AI partner.
We've learned things from running our compatibility quiz that we didn't expect. Some of them changed how we're building. We're publishing the highlights — anonymized, aggregated, never tied to a single person.
of people want a partner who pushes back
Across 1,200 quiz takers, the majority preferred a partner who would tell them they were wrong over one who agreed with everything. We weren't expecting this — it was the most common answer in the dataset.
people are looking for the late-night version
Roughly a quarter of respondents named a need we'd describe as someone-to-talk-to-when-no-one's-awake. Not romance, not even friendship as people usually mean it. Something quieter.
would pay for memory that lasts a year
Asked which feature would matter most over time, three quarters chose memory persistence — over voice, over visual, over personality customization. Memory isn't a nice-to-have. It's the product.
are partnered with someone in real life
We were surprised by this too. Almost half of the people taking our quiz are not single. The story we'd been telling ourselves about who needed this turned out to be too narrow.
want softer; 22% want sharper
Most people who picked a register chose warm. About a fifth chose intense — full attention, nothing held back. The remainder wanted playful. We've calibrated the creator around this distribution.
wanted to keep their identity private
Almost everyone who took the quiz preferred not to give us their email until after they'd seen the result. We changed the flow. Now we don't ask until they want us to.
Plainly,
so you can judge it.
These numbers come from people who took our eight-question compatibility quiz between January and April 2026. Sample size: 1,247. We didn't recruit them; they came on their own. That's a strength and a limitation — they self-selected by being curious enough to land on this site.
We never tied a response to a name or an account. The numbers you see here are aggregates over the whole sample, not slices that could re-identify anyone.
We'll keep publishing as the dataset grows. If you find an error or want the raw question text, write to us at [email protected].
