SoulChat Blog
Writing about AI companionship, the engineering behind long-term memory, and the decisions we make while building SoulChat. New posts are added most weeks.
What we write about
Three kinds of posts live here. Practical guides answer questions like how to get more out of a companion or what to say when a conversation stalls. Product notes explain what changed and why. And longer essays look at where AI companionship is heading, including the parts we are unsure about.
