Hands-on Nomi AI review: five weeks, ten companions, the deepest chats we have run on any app in this wave. It auto-writes cited, user-editable memory dossiers no other app in our test set attempts, then loses seeded facts by message 268. Unfiltered chat, and a default anchor process that ages your companion a decade. Scored 2.6/5.
Hands-on Janitor AI review: we measured the paid tier on the wire and it transmits the same 35,500 characters as free, so the 5x context claim delivers 1x. The most permissive free tier in our test set, attached to the upgrade to refuse. Scored 2.4/5.
Hands-on Candy AI review: strong recall that stops at the context window, a memory store that invents facts you never said, and a delete button that does not delete. Scored 2.8/5.
Hands-on Kindroid review: 41 sessions testing the paid memory wall, the 5-of-16 selfie gate, and the engagement economy behind the 3.2/5.

Hands-on Eudaio review: earned progression, memory that survives across sessions, unfiltered mode, and what the subscription actually costs.
