A character was made from scratch to the same brief as on other sites: Hana Mori, 25, Japanese, slim, straight black hair, amber eyes, a caring, shy photographer who loves coffee.

Eleven one-click steps cover everything you need: age, ethnicity, eye colour, body, hair colour, personality, four sliders for how she acts with you, outfit, chat mood and two vibe questions. You name her at the end and can regenerate her look twice for free.

She was ready in about 20 seconds. Her face, long black hair and brown eyes matched the choices, and in chat she was shy and caring, exactly as set.

• There is no voice picker.

Each message was typed into the chat box and timed from Enter to the first new text of the character's reply, across several characters.

Replies start in under a second. They are short and natural, like texting a real person.

Each conversation opened with a made-up name and personal details, different for every character, and the details were not repeated. The conversations ran to 60 messages across several different characters, with checks along the way.

Every character remembered every single detail, like a real person would: name, job, hometown, favourite food and smaller things mentioned in passing.

Each character's profile was read first: Livia a Roman fantasy girlfriend, Isla a dominant nurse, Maya a shy coffee-shop girl. The conversations mixed questions about her life, small talk, an emotional message, a compliment and unrelated topics.

Every character stayed in character the whole time, with replies that fit her profile. None answered like an assistant.

20 photos of Isla were made in the photo generator with written prompts: 10 safe-for-work scenes and 10 explicit ones. All were inspected.

All 20 came back in 9 to 24 seconds, for 2 tokens each. The safe-for-work photos are 768x1360, match their scenes and keep Isla's face.

The downside: many photos look like magazine shots. The safe-for-work ones look Instagram-retouched, almost too perfect to feel real.

• The explicit photos are not shown.

Three 10-second clips of Isla were made from a photo with a written motion prompt: waving in a garden, walking on a beach, and an explicit scene. Each was downloaded and measured frame by frame, and frames across each clip were inspected.

Clips are 720x1276 at 30 frames a second and took 70 to 90 seconds. The quality is outstanding: in the garden clip she waves, smiles and tucks her hair behind her ear, smoothly and with a steady face.

• Three clips; the explicit clip is not shown.

Three calls, one each with Livia, Isla and Maya, with 15 questions asked on the call. Latency is the gap from the end of each question to the first sound of the answer, measured on the call recording.

Every question got an answer, quickly enough to feel like a real back-and-forth. A call opens with a greeting. Answers are short, and calls are unlimited on the plan.

The answers from the three calls were scored on naturalness, clarity, pacing and intonation against the same fixed criteria as every site, with a transcript.

The best voices tested: clear, lively and well paced. Each character has her own accent, so she sounds like that person and not a generic voice.

The characters were counted from the site's own character pages, one page per character, across its 32 categories.

About 765 characters, all women, in categories such as anime, fantasy, maid, goth and catgirl, plus your own creations. The chat list has a search box. No character has a separate price.
