OurDream AI is an independent guide to AI companion apps. We test the platforms in this space, score them against a fixed set of criteria, and write up what we find in language a normal person can actually use. That is the whole job.
The category exploded faster than honest information about it could keep up. App stores filled with companion and AI-girlfriend products making near-identical promises, and the only writing about them was either thin affiliate filler or the platforms' own marketing. We started this site to do the boring, useful thing instead: sign up, use the products properly, and report back.
What we actually do
Every platform we cover is used, not skimmed. We build a companion from scratch, talk to it across weeks rather than minutes, and push on the things that tend to break — memory, consistency, billing honesty, and what happens to your data. The exact routine is written down in our Testing Methodology, so you can judge the test as well as the verdict.
How we stay independent
We pay the bills through affiliate commissions, and we are open about it: the full arrangement is set out in our Affiliate Disclosure. What matters is the firewall around it. Commercial deals do not move a product up a list, soften a score, or buy a recommendation. The rules we hold ourselves to live in the Editorial Policy, and they are the reason a product we earn nothing from can still come out on top.
The people behind it
Reviews carry a name, not a faceless brand. Our work is led by Maya Brennan, who has spent six years covering conversational AI and pays particular attention to the wellbeing side of this category — the point where a helpful tool can tip into an unhealthy habit. We think readers deserve to know who is doing the testing and on what authority.
