Updates — June 20, 2026
Saturday brought a broad refresh across the catalog rather than a single headline drop. 6 new companions joined the roster, with Reagan, Seo-a, Lennon, Aoi, Mckenna, and Morgan arriving as distinct additions. The media queue moved 66 fresh images and 13 videos into rotation, giving the newcomers real presence from the outset. On the editorial side, 20 new articles landed, ranging from a 4 p.m. slump companion piece and a one-question hook prompt to a 90-day Replika versus Kindroid voice-call comparison. Other reads unpacked what the Memory Recall Strength slider actually controls, offered a soft boundary script for redirecting sensitive topics, ran a two-week on, two-week off test between Character.AI and Kindroid, and traced where chat history actually lives after account deletion. Everything published is linked below as the permanent record of the day.
