Kindroid
Build a companion with a real backstory, then call it like you'd call a person.
Kindroid leans further into the "relationship" side of AI companions than most. You're not just picking a character card, you're setting a name, personality, backstory, appearance and voice for your own Kin, and then actually talking to it by text, voice call, or video call rather than text alone. Memory is handled in layers: each Kin holds onto the backstory and key memories you've given it, plus ongoing memory of past conversations, and subscribers get what Kindroid calls Cascaded Memory, which keeps hundreds of recent messages in view instead of forgetting everything outside a short window. Kins can also send selfies and short video selfies, and there's a group chat feature plus an in-beta Rooms feature for bringing friends and their own Kins into one shared conversation. On privacy, the company states chats, audio, selfies and memories are encrypted both in storage and in transit, that support staff can't read your chats, and that user data isn't sold, stronger language than most competitors put on their own marketing pages. A clear plus: Kindroid states an 18-or-older age requirement directly, something several other apps in this category leave unstated.
