I guess I should also add for clarity that I’m aware there are chatbots for free out there that can answer questions.

That’s also not really what I’m looking for either. I don’t need “how can I brew my own mead”

I’m looking for something in the middle. An AI that responds and remembers previous conversations we’ve had, not pushy with solutions but not a placation machine.

I’m not looking to pretend it’s real, or that we are in love. A tool to express my thoughts out loud mostly to myself but more interactive than a bathroom mirror.
