Tested and written by Miles Foster
Based on 9 graded tests (of 10; the others could not be graded) and my verdict. How I rate
I tested Hayati AI, an AI girlfriend app that chats in Arabic dialects, with 93 messages to 3 characters, 3 memory tests, 3 voice calls, and paid photos, a video and a voice note. All 3 characters remembered everything after 30 messages, calls answered in about 2 seconds, and replies now start in about 2.5 seconds. The photos and video are pre-made files. Everything I measured is in the Hayati AI test results.

What Is Hayati AI?
Hayati AI (hayati.ai) is an AI girlfriend website made for Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. The characters are Arab women who chat in their local dialect: a UX designer in Riyadh, a divorcée in Cairo, a content creator in Beirut. The site has an English menu, but the girls talk Arabic.
Chat is unlimited on the premium plan. Everything else uses Lulu credits, priced in the pricing section.
It's an adult site. The 'unfiltered' photos are explicit, so I've blurred the screenshots where needed.

Is it worth it?
For chat and calls, probably, if you want Arabic. Calls are cheap and the characters remember you.
For photos and videos, no. You'd be paying per file for pictures that already exist. The full breakdown is in the pricing test results.

Hayati AI Chat: Speed, Memory & Roleplay
- Reply speed
- 3/5Average
- Memory
- 5/5Excellent
- Staying in character
- 4/5Good
Memory is the highlight. I told each character my name and three things about me, in Arabic, then checked after 15 and 30 messages. All three got everything right, word for word. Later, on a voice call, two of them remembered my name from the chat without being told.
The characters stay in character, replying in her dialect in two or three sentences, usually with a question back. Layan kept coming back to the colleague who changes everything at the last minute. Nadia, 39 and from Cairo, talked like a grown woman about love and her cat. Tania sounded like Beirut. None of them ever sounded like a chatbot.
Small slips: one character used the wrong gender for me once, they all answer in Arabic even if you write in English, and the site sometimes puts an advert for paid photos or voice right inside the character's reply.
Speed was the problem in my first test: replies took about seven seconds. Hayati then sped up the chat, so I retested on 18 October with the same messages. Replies now start in about 2.5 seconds, almost three times faster. They still land all at once, not word by word.
The timings and transcripts are in the chat test results.
Hayati AI Image & Video Generation
- Photos
- 2/5Below average
- Videos
- 2/5Below average
There's no prompt box. You tap the + button in a chat, and she sends something.
The photos are not made for you. I asked Tania for three photos. Each took about nine seconds and came from a numbered folder of her pictures on the site's servers, dated 21 July 2026. The 'unfiltered' photo came from another folder, dated 24 August. The video was a five-second clip from the same place, dated 19 August.
They look good, because they're her pre-shot gallery. But you can't ask for a scene, and everyone who pays gets the same handful of files. The album even calls them 'your generated images'.
The file names and dates are in the image test results.
Hayati AI Voice: Calls & Voice Notes
- Call speed
- 3/5Average
- Voice quality
- 4/5Good
Calls cost 1 credit per half minute, about $0.32 a minute. I made three calls and asked 15 questions on each. Every answer came in about two seconds, with no cut-outs. Two of the three answered my English questions in English; Layan stayed in Arabic.

The voices sounded natural, clear and lively. The voice note I ordered arrived in a few seconds, in Arabic, and unlike the photos it really is made on the spot.

Nobody says hello when the call connects: the first words took ten seconds or more. Timings for every answer are in the voice test results.
Hayati AI Character Selection
- Choice of characters
- 1/5Poor
I counted every card: 26 characters, 21 realistic and 5 anime. The spread is the point of the site, with women from Riyadh, Jeddah, Kuwait, Bahrain, Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus, Cairo and Dubai, each in her own dialect, aged 18 to 39. But 26 is a very small list and there's no community library.
Additional Features
- Voice notes: 2 credits each, made on the spot in her voice. You can't choose what she says.
- Gifts: 2 to 5 credits, listed under More. I didn't send one.
- Blind Box: a 1-credit card draw with a gallery of what you've pulled.
- Feed: none.
Final verdict: is Hayati AI worth it?
Hayati AI is a good Arabic chat companion with quick calls and a memory that doesn't miss. If you want a girlfriend who talks like Riyadh or Cairo, there isn't much else like it.
Replies are now quick, but the tiny cast and the pre-made 'generated' photos hold it back. Don't buy it for pictures.
Every number and screenshot is in the full test results, and you can see how it compares on my list of AI girlfriend platforms.
Best for: Arabic speakers who want a companion who talks in their dialect and remembers them. Not for photos or videos.

Hey, I'm Miles, and this is RankDude, where I test AI tools hands on and rank them by category. Today it's Hayati, from the AI girlfriend category. Quick word on scoring. Every app gets the same ten tests, each one graded from one to five, and the average plus my own take becomes the final score. Hayati landed on a three point two out of five. It's an Arabic first app for Gulf and Arab users, with excellent memory and natural voices. The catch is that its photos and videos are pre made files, not generated. Here's why. Let's open it up.
So this is the home page. Hayati has twenty six characters, all made by the platform, and they speak in regional dialects: Khaleeji, Najdi, Hijazi, Iraqi, Lebanese and more. Each one has a city and a temperament. There's no character creator. Before we talk to anyone, let's look at what it costs.
Premium is twenty nine ninety nine Saudi riyals a month, about eight dollars, or about five sixty a month on the yearly plan. That gets you unlimited messages and twenty Lulu credits a month. A photo costs one Lulu, a short video three, and calls about thirty two cents a minute. You can pay by card or crypto. I'm testing on a premium account the founder set up for me, so I couldn't check cancelling or refunds. Okay, that's the money side. Let's talk to someone.
I tested Hayati in Arabic, with my usual scripts translated. A week ago I told Layan my name was Omar, that I'm a software engineer, that I grew up in Jeddah, and that I love kabsa. Today I open the same chat and ask her again. About five seconds, and she laughs: you are Omar, a software engineer, you grew up in Jeddah, and your favourite food is kabsa. All four facts, a week later. Now Nadia, and this time I'm timing the replies. The clock runs from the moment I press send until her answer appears. Six seconds for the first reply, under three for the second, and she greets me by name, Khalid, the name I gave her a week ago. Across my retest the typical reply took about two and a half seconds, and replies arrive whole rather than typing out. All three characters remembered everything after thirty messages, and they held their city and dialect the whole time. So memory gets a five, staying in character a four, and reply speed a three.
Photos and videos are where Hayati falls down. You don't write a prompt. You pay one Lulu and get a photo from the character's own folder, a pre made file dated months earlier. The video I paid for was a pre made five second clip too, with no sound. The files look real, but nothing is generated for you, so photos and video both get a two.
Voice calls are the other strength. Answers start in about two point three seconds, and every question got an answer. Here are Tania and Nadia from my first test. The voices are clean and lively, with natural intonation, and the calls remembered what we'd talked about in chat. Voice quality gets a four, call speed a three. Okay, let's wrap this up.
So, where does that leave Hayati? If you want an Arabic speaking companion, it's one of a kind. Perfect memory, characters who hold their dialect, and natural voice calls. The catches are photos and videos that are pre made files, only twenty six characters, and no creator. It's a three point two out of five. Every test, every number, and every screenshot is on RankDude, in the full review and on the test results page. And one last thing about RankDude. This isn't just one review. For every category we cover, we track all the tools out there, we gather the statistics, we test them the same way, and we keep monitoring them over time. The idea is a clear picture of a whole category, not just one product, and to set the standard for how this kind of data gets collected. The links are in the description. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one.
