Updates — May 5, 2026
Tuesday brought a compact but meaningful update to the catalog. Elise arrived as the sole new companion, joined by 2 fresh images and 2 new videos that round out her early presence. The editorial side did the heavier lifting, with 10 new articles published across a wider spread of relationship craft than usual. Several pieces sit in the practical realm, covering the thirty-minute wind-down between phone and sleep, reintroducing context at the start of a new session without sounding like a court reporter, and pushing back on your AI girlfriend without wrecking what you have built. Others take a longer view, comparing two companions over six weeks, unpacking what voice mode is actually doing to the brain, and looking at how sixty days of daily check-ins compound differently than a lighter touch. Everything published is linked below as the permanent record of the day.
