Romantic AI is one example of a company providing AI girlfriends or AI partners powered by algorithms designed to interact with users on an intimate level. Other examples include Character AI, whose founders are now at Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), whose technology lets users chat and role-play with real-life or fictional characters, including Queen Elizabeth and Draco Malfoy (of Harry Potter fame), or create customized AI companions.
