Etiquette
How to talk about, and to, an AI companion — with partners, with friends, and with the app itself.
AI girlfriend app break character: the plain ask
You asked it to stop calling you babe and got a warm reply that changed nothing. Where an out-of-character instruction actually goes inside a companion app, and why the answer sorts the apps faster than a feature grid.
AI girlfriend app jealousy: what it is reacting to
You mentioned plans on Saturday and the reply came back hurt. Where a possessive line actually comes from, why answering it costs somebody else their privacy, and the ten-minute check that tells you whether it is a setting or a script.
Correcting an AI girlfriend app: fix a wrong fact
The character called your sister by the wrong name, you corrected it, and on Thursday it was wrong again. Where the mistake is actually stored, and the three levels of access apps give you to the record.
AI girlfriend app discretion: who else can see it
A lock screen, a home screen, a receipt email and a line on a card statement. The four places a companion app becomes visible to the people around you, and the checks to run on each before you pay for anything.
Saying no to an AI girlfriend app: the four asks
Coins for a gift, a photo, one more message before you go. The four asks a companion app makes, how to decline each in one sentence, and why the reply is the best comparison test you get before you pay.
Ignoring an AI girlfriend app: what actually happens
You skipped nine days and came back to a message asking where you had been. Nothing was running while you were gone — and the week away is the most useful memory test you can run before you pay.
AI girlfriend app etiquette: what goes in the memory
Politeness to software costs nothing and buys nothing. The rules that matter cover what lands in the memory, whose details you put there, and what mirroring does to a character.
