Nadia runs the newsroom at AI Girl Guides and has been testing AI companion and adult chat platforms since their first mainstream wave. She leads our hands-on companion reviews, digging into conversation quality, character memory, roleplay depth and how each app handles intimacy without breaking immersion. She previously reported on consumer software and online dating for independent tech press.
Areas of expertise
- Conversation quality
- NSFW roleplay
- Character memory
- UX testing
How Nadia tests
- I run every companion through the same three-session script: a cold open, a long roleplay that runs past the memory window, and a return visit the next day to see what stuck.
- I pay for the tier a reader would buy and note every paywall, token drain and upsell I hit on the way.
- Niche scenarios (femdom, futa, anime, specific looks) get their own test prompts, so a verdict says whether the app holds that scene, not just whether it chats.
