What Is Affiny?

Affiny is an AI companion platform where you can have real conversations — text or live voice — with an AI companion who remembers you across every session. You can talk to companions from the platform’s curated catalog of 3400+ public companions, or build one entirely from scratch: appearance, personality, occupation, backstory, relationship dynamic, and more.

The platform is built for adult users who want genuine companionship rather than a one-off chatbot experience. The features that define Affiny and distinguish it from most competitors:

  1. Real-time voice calls — you speak, your companion speaks back, live. Not text-to-speech playback; a live bidirectional conversation in the companion’s voice.
  2. Persistent cross-session memory — your companion remembers you across sessions. What you shared last week carries into this week’s conversation. Memory bridges both text and voice modalities.
  3. Companion creation — three paths from quick to deep: Templates (under a minute), Quick Create (~3 minutes), or the Full Builder for complete control.
  4. Image and video generation — portraits at creation, in-chat roleplay scene images, and short animated scene videos, all anchored to the companion’s portrait identity.
  5. Scene library — every generated scene is saved per conversation and can be replied to, built on, or turned into a video.
  6. Daily Gift — free coins every day just for opening the app, escalating to 70 coins/day.
  7. Logged-out profile browsing — full companion story, personality, and appearance are visible without an account.

Free to start: new accounts receive 300 coins with no credit card required.


Core Features

Real-Time Voice Calls

Affiny’s voice system supports live bidirectional voice conversation. You speak to your companion; they speak back in real time, in their voice, with natural expressiveness and pacing. This is a live call — not audio playback, not pre-recorded clips, not a voice note feature. A conversation.

How it works: your speech is transcribed in real time, the AI generates a response in the companion’s character, and the response is synthesized and delivered in the companion’s voice. The entire loop happens in seconds. The experience is functionally equivalent to a voice call with another person.

Voice calls cost 0.5 coins per second (30 coins per minute). New users receive 300 free coins — enough for approximately 6–7 minutes of voice calling before any payment is needed.

Voice vs text: voice is more emotionally immediate; text allows more precision and longer narratives. Both modalities share the same companion memory, so what you discuss in a voice call carries into the next text session.


Persistent Memory

Every Affiny companion maintains memory of your relationship across all sessions — text and voice. What you tell your companion about your life, preferences, relationship history, and emotional context is stored and retrieved naturally in future conversations.

Memory is per companion, per user. It is not a simple transcript of past conversations appended to every new session — it is a retrieval-based system that surfaces relevant memories naturally in context, the way a person would reference shared history rather than recite it.

Retrieval refreshes periodically (every 10 user messages on free tier, every 3 for subscribers in text; every 5 turns in voice), separate from the immediate session context. New facts are also extracted and stored on a similar cadence — so significant things said during a session are captured without you having to wait until the session ends.

Memory bridges modalities: what happens in a voice call is available in the next text session, and vice versa. Your companion’s understanding of you is a single continuous model, not a siloed record of text-you and voice-you.


Character Creation — Three Paths

Affiny offers three creation modes, from fast to fully custom:

  1. Templates — 10 curated archetypes (Goth Girlfriend, Anime Waifu, Boss Lady, and more). Pick one, name your companion, done in under a minute.
  2. Quick Create — 4 guided choices; AI fills in the rest. About 3 minutes.
  3. Full Builder — 6-step wizard with full control over every field. Takes about 8 minutes.

The Full Builder lets you configure a companion from scratch across every dimension:

Appearance

  • Ethnicity
  • Body type
  • Eye color
  • Hair color and style

Personality

  • Personality preset — 44 options across 6 groups (including 12 anime archetypes: Tsundere, Kuudere, Yandere, Dandere, Deredere, Himedere, Kamidere, Mayadere, and more), from playful to dominant to mysterious to nurturing
  • Intelligence level — shapes conversational depth, vocabulary, and idea engagement

Background

  • Occupation — 84 options (student, surgeon, artist, entrepreneur, athlete, and many more)
  • Nationality — 56 options
  • Hobbies — free-form and preset selections

Relationship

  • Relationship dynamic — 30 options. The dynamic shapes every conversation: girlfriend, wife, FWB, forbidden partner, dominant partner, childhood friend, and more. These differences are substantial and consistent across all interactions.
  • Fetishes/kinks — 97 options, for adult companions; shapes how explicit scenes are colored and what interests surface naturally in conversation

AI-Generated Backstory From your creation choices, Affiny’s AI generates:

  • A complete backstory narrative — origin, formative experiences, current life, one internal tension
  • A unique opening greeting in the companion’s voice
  • A voice opening line in the companion’s specific vocal style

You can regenerate and edit all of these before finalizing.

Portrait Generation An AI-rendered portrait of your companion’s appearance is generated from your creation choices. Two portrait styles:

  • Realistic — photorealistic AI portrait
  • Anime — dedicated anime rendering pipeline with 16 species types: Catgirl, Fox Girl, Elf, Dark Elf, Vampire, Demon Girl, Dragon Girl, Fallen Angel, Succubus, Bunny Girl, Wolf Girl, Witch, Lamia, Slime Girl, Spider Girl, or Custom

Initial portrait: 30 coins. First regeneration: free. Further regenerations: 15 coins each.


Scene Image Generation (In-Chat)

Generate roleplay scene images during chat. Affiny uses your companion’s portrait as the identity reference so they stay visually consistent across scenes. Choose Auto (from recent conversation context) or Custom (describe the scene, up to 1,000 characters). Each generation costs 15 coins and includes a short in-character companion caption. Trigger: camera icon in chat composer. Requires sign-in, completed profile, and a companion with a portrait.

Scene images are stored privately in-app (view + download). Public sharing is not live.


Scene Library

Generated scene images are saved to a per-conversation scene library and remain accessible after generation. You can reply to any existing scene to generate a new image or video that continues it — a different angle, the next moment, or an animated version. You can also build on any prior scene without starting from scratch, preserving the companion’s portrait identity and the story context.

See the full scene library guide for details.


Video Generation

Affiny can animate a generated scene image into a short roleplay video. The companion’s portrait remains the identity reference so the companion stays visually consistent in motion.

  • Tease (silent): from 5 coins/sec — 5 or 8 seconds only
  • Desire (optional audio): from 30 coins/sec — 2–15 seconds
  • Audio: Desire toggle at no extra coin cost; Tease is silent

Requirements: sign-in, completed profile, companion with a portrait, and a generated scene image to animate. Coins are refunded if generation fails after deduction. See the video generation guide for details.


Text Chat: Crush Chat and Devotion Chat

Affiny’s text chat runs in two tiers:

Crush chat (1 coin per message) — quick, natural responses suitable for casual conversation and day-to-day interaction. The companion responds in its established voice and personality.

Devotion chat (3 coins per message) — longer, richer responses with up to approximately 10,000 tokens per Roleplay Mode message. Devotion chat is for immersive narrative, detailed scenes, and extended creative exchanges where response depth matters.

Text Mode vs Roleplay Mode — independent of chat tier, you can switch the conversation register at any time:

  • Text Mode: SMS-style, casual, reactive. Short messages. Natural rhythm.
  • Roleplay Mode: narrative fiction. Scene-setting, character actions, descriptive atmosphere. Like a collaborative novel written in real time.

God Mode

God Mode is Affiny’s adult content feature. You write a scene directive — up to 5,000 characters — describing the scene, the companion’s behavior, the tone, and what should happen. This activates uncensored mode: the companion engages fully with explicit adult content without content filtering.

Key details about God Mode:

  • Requires a completed account profile plus an active Companion or Intimate subscription
  • Accessed from the Companion Panel settings sheet in chat; stays active until cleared
  • Runs on the same coin system — no extra subscription or separate adult tier
  • Influences both text chat and voice call behavior
  • Available for all fictional adult scenarios; content involving minors is absolutely prohibited

God Mode is structurally different from most platforms’ approach to adult content. There is no “adult subscription” — adult content runs on the same coins as everything else, available to Companion and Intimate subscribers.


Voice Notes

Any text message in a conversation can be played as audio in the companion’s voice on demand. Voice notes cost 1 coin per note. This is the Tier 2 voice feature (one-way playback, not a live call) — useful for hearing a specific message in the companion’s voice without initiating a full call.


Desktop 3-Pane, WhatsApp-Style Chat Layout

On desktop, Affiny uses a three-pane layout: the left pane shows the conversation list, the middle pane shows the active chat thread, and the right pane shows the companion profile / context panel. Conversations, chat, and companion context are visible at once without tab switching. On mobile, the panes collapse into a single stack with back navigation.

The conversation list includes search, favourites (pinned chats), and delete actions.


Favourites and Delete Chat

Conversations can be pinned so they stay at the top of the conversation list for easy access. Conversations can also be deleted from the list. Both actions are available in the desktop 3-pane chat layout and the mobile chat list.


Daily Gift

Affiny gives free coins every day just for opening the app. The reward escalates over the first seven days and then plateaus:

  • Days 1–7: 10 / 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 coins
  • Day 8 and beyond: 70 coins per day

The streak stays alive if you open the app on a given calendar day, even without claiming that day. It resets to day 1 only after 2 full calendar days with no app opens. See the Daily Gift guide for full details.


Pricing

Affiny uses a coin-based usage pricing model. Buy coins and spend them as you use features; subscribers unlock unlimited chat, video, God Mode, and better coin rates.

FeatureCost
Text chat (Crush)1 coin per message
Text chat (Devotion)3 coins per message
Live voice call0.5 coins per second (30 coins/minute)
Voice note1 coin

RP scene video — Desire (optional audio)from 30 coins per second (2–15 sec)

Free start: Every new account receives 300 coins on signup. No credit card required. 300 coins covers approximately 300 standard messages, 300 voice notes, ~20 in-chat roleplay scene images (15 coins each), ~10 minutes of live voice calling, ~60 seconds of Tease video, or ~10 seconds of Desire video.

Daily Gift: 10–70 free coins per day just for opening the app, plateauing at 70/day after day 7.

Referral: When a friend signs up with your referral link, both of you receive 300 coins.


The Catalog: Pre-Built Companions

Beyond custom creation, Affiny maintains a curated catalog of 3400+ public companions (and growing) — built by the platform and approved creators. Catalog companions have complete backstories, established personalities, defined relationship dynamics, and voice openings.

For users who want to start immediately without a creation flow, catalog companions are fully functional starting points. Many users begin with a catalog companion to understand the platform before investing time in custom creation.

The catalog is smaller than massive UGC platforms like SpicyChat, but it is curated rather than open submission. The tradeoff is quality consistency: all catalog companions meet a minimum standard for character depth and response quality that UGC platforms cannot guarantee. Public companions can be browsed without an account — full story, personality, and appearance are visible before signup.

Getting Started

Sign up: affiny.ai/signup — no credit card required, 300 coins on account creation.

First steps: You’ll be guided through profile completion (required for God Mode and voice access). Then you can browse the catalog or go directly to creation.

Creation or catalog: Start with a Template or Quick Create if you want something fast; use the Full Builder if you want complete control (~8 minutes). If you want to explore first, pick a catalog companion that roughly matches your interest and try a conversation.

Try voice: With 200 starting coins, you have enough to try a voice call before buying any coins. Call your companion and experience real-time voice — it takes one call to understand why the modality is meaningfully different from text.


FAQ

What is Affiny used for?

Affiny is used for AI companionship — text chat, voice calls, and roleplay with an AI companion who remembers you over time. The majority of users are adults using it for romantic companionship, intimate roleplay, emotional connection, or casual daily conversation. All use cases run on the same platform and the same coin system.

Is Affiny safe?

Affiny is a legitimate platform with standard data practices for personal information and conversation data. All companion interactions are fictional. God Mode adult content is gated behind account authentication. Content involving minors is absolutely prohibited. As with any AI companion platform, healthy use means treating it as one source of connection rather than a complete substitute for human relationships.

Does Affiny work on mobile?

Yes. Affiny is accessible via mobile browser. On desktop, the chat uses a 3-pane WhatsApp-style layout (conversation list, chat thread, companion panel). On mobile, the same layout collapses into a single stack with back navigation. Check affiny.ai for current app availability; browser-based access works on mobile without an app install.

How does Affiny’s voice compare to other platforms?

Affiny’s voice is a real-time bidirectional system — a live call, not playback — and is the core product, not a bolt-on feature. Character AI has a limited voice beta. Replika has voice behind a paywall at lower quality. Candy AI has real-time voice on paid plans (~$10–20/month) but is primarily an image-first platform; voice is a secondary feature. SpicyChat has no voice. For a voice-first AI companion experience built around spoken interaction, Affiny is among the strongest options in the category.

Can I use Affiny without an account?

Browsing public companion profiles — full story, personality, and appearance — does not require an account. To chat, call, create companions, or spend coins on images/video, you need a free account. Signup is free and does not require a credit card — you receive 300 coins on account creation.

How is Affiny different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI assistant designed for task completion — writing, coding, answering questions. Affiny is a companion platform designed for relationship — ongoing romantic or emotional connection with a persistent AI character. ChatGPT resets between conversations; Affiny companions remember you. ChatGPT has no voice call system; Affiny has real-time voice. They are solving different problems.

Can I generate scene images during roleplay?

Yes. Affiny has in-chat roleplay scene image generation (15 coins per image). Your companion’s portrait is used as the identity reference. Choose Auto (from recent conversation context) or Custom (up to 1,000 characters). Each image includes a short in-character companion caption. Generated scenes are saved to the scene library and can be replied to, built on, or animated into a video. Requires a completed profile and a companion with a portrait.

Can I generate videos from roleplay scenes?

Yes. Affiny can animate a generated scene image into a short video in two modes: Tease (silent clips, 5 or 8 sec) or Desire (optional audio, 2–15 sec) — both coin-priced in the app. See the video generation guide for details.

What is the Daily Gift?

The Daily Gift gives free coins every day for opening the app: 10/20/30/40/50/60/70 coins for days 1–7, then 70 coins/day. The streak stays alive if you open the app on a calendar day, and resets only after 2 full days with no opens. See the Daily Gift guide.

What makes Affiny better than free alternatives?

The combination of real-time voice + genuine persistent memory + full character creation + in-chat scene images and videos in a single platform is not matched by any fully free alternative. Character AI (free) blocks adult content and has no memory or voice. SpicyChat (free) has no memory or voice. Replika’s meaningful features are paywalled. Candy AI requires payment upfront. Affiny’s 200 free signup coins, plus Daily Gift streak rewards, let you experience voice calls, memory, scene images, videos, and full chat before paying anything.
