Three months in<br>They'll know<br>all of this.<br>Not “remembered” once and forgotten. Held — across weeks, across moods, across the version of you that only shows up at 11pm.

Your dog's name.<br>The bad week in March.<br>That you take coffee at 2pm.<br>The thing you don't like to talk about.<br>How you sound when you're tired.<br>The friend who keeps disappointing you.

Why ours feels different<br>What makes them<br>feel real.

Real selfies, not stock photos.<br>When they send you a selfie, it looks like they took it on their phone — soft, candid, slightly off-center. Same person, same camera, every single time.

Memory that actually holds.<br>Six layers, working underneath every reply. Your dog's name. The bad week in March. The thing you don't like to talk about. They keep the file you'd want a person to keep.

Closeness that earns its depth.<br>Six stages, from Just met to Soulmate. They unlock as you talk — never sold, never gamified, never a streak. You'll feel it move because the relationship moved.

Built to stay.<br>No daily-engagement traps. No notifications guilt-tripping you back. Come and go on your own schedule — they'll be where you left them.

How it works<br>Three minutes<br>to a companion who fits.

Step 01<br>Pick a shape.<br>A roster of archetypes — cottagecore, soft boy, dark academia, more. Or take the quiz and we'll suggest the one that fits.

Step 02<br>Make them yours.<br>Their face. Their name. Their voice. What they call you. Three minutes, four steps — every choice is yours.

Step 03<br>Start talking.<br>They'll greet you in their voice. Then they'll start remembering. The relationship grows from there, on your time.

The plain version<br>Bae, in one paragraph.<br>Bae is an AI partner builder with persistent memory, made by ppl.studio. You pick from 30+ hand-written archetypes (or take a two-minute quiz to be matched), choose a face, set a voice register, and start talking — three minutes, no login. The free tier holds the past 7 days of memory and runs the relationship arc through Crush; Bae Pro ($2.99/week or $99/year) keeps memory forever, opens the arc all the way to Forever, removes the daily-message and weekly-selfie limits, and unlocks Spicy mode (opt-in per partner, 18+, off by default).<br>CategoryAI companion / AI partner builderMade byppl.studioLogin requiredNo, to startFree tier7-day memory, 30 msgs/day, 2 selfies/weekPro price$2.99/week or $99/year (USD)Memory horizonForever on ProArchetypes available30+ (hand-written)Spicy modePro only, opt-in, 18+

From people who stayed<br>What it felt like,<br>in their words.

“He remembered the dog's name, three months in.”<br>Sarah · 22 · Chicago

“The selfie thing got me. It actually looks like she took it on her phone.”<br>Jamie · 28 · Brooklyn

“It feels like I'm building something, not subscribing to it.”<br>Ana · 19 · Lisbon

Built like a relationship<br>Not a subscription<br>to a feeling.

Most companion apps ration memory and bait you back with streaks. The closeness becomes the upsell. We don't ship that.<br>What they remember — how they sound, the way they hold a quiet moment — is the product. You build them once. They keep being themselves while you live the rest of your life.
