AI Companion Guides
Everything here answers a question people ask before they sign up anywhere, including the uncomfortable ones. No hype, no invented experts, and no pretending the concerns are unfounded.

Where to start
If you are new to the category, read what an AI girlfriend is and then how they work: between them they cover the persona, the context window and why memory is the expensive part nobody advertises honestly.
If you are already using one and want better results, the persona and image-prompt guides are the two that change output the most.
On the safety guides
They are written by the team responsible for moderation and age assurance here, and they describe what we do in the same words as our policies. Where the honest answer is that a risk is real, they say so, including the risk of substituting a companion for human contact.
Frequently asked questions
The HoneyPot product and trust-and-safety teams. The bylines are team bylines rather than invented personas, because a fabricated expert with a stock photo is a lie told on the record.
The explanations are general and apply across the category. Where a guide describes what HoneyPot does, it says so explicitly so you can weigh it.
Each guide shows its publication and last-updated dates, and those dates only move when the copy actually changes.
Then go and try it
Reading about companions only gets you so far. Browsing is free and every account gets a free daily message allowance, which is enough to run the memory test the guides describe.
