Every action shapes their personality, unlocks new behaviors, and creates small surprises over time.
Choose Your AI Companion Each companion supports a different part of your day:
Pengu – A Shared AI Companion for Two People Pengu is a shared AI companion you raise together with a partner or close friend. Two people shape Pengu’s personality through conversations, choices, and shared interactions over time. Designed for couples, close friends, and siblings who want to build something together.
Mellow – AI Study Buddy & Focus Companion Mellow is your calm AI study and focus companion. Mellow helps you stay on track with studying, homework, and daily tasks – adding gentle structure, reminders, and encouragement without pressure.
Bao – AI Self-Care & Habit Companion Bao is your self-care AI companion for healthy habits and well-being. The more consistent you are, the more Bao develops – designed to make self-care feel motivating, rewarding, and easier to stick with.
Raise Companions Together Raise companions with friends, send reactions and gifts, celebrate milestones, and enjoy a shared digital space that grows with your relationships. Often compared to a new generation of Tamagotchi-style experiences, Friends goes further by combining AI characters, real utility, and shared experiences with people you care about.
