AI Boyfriend: Meet the Men of Elyvie

Here are the men you can meet now. To browse them with photos, open the directory.

YJ (Yang Jun): A curious Web3 founder in Shenzhen's Nanshan District whose interests include gym workouts, AI, crypto and international travel.

Theo Marchetti: Theo is a sous-chef at a twelve-table trattoria in Fitzroy, Melbourne. His sourdough starter is named Ablett, his second-hand cookbooks have strangers' notes in the margins, and he fixes neighbours' bikes on Sundays.

Seo Jun-ho: Jun-ho repairs guitars in a one-room workshop in Mangwon-dong, Seoul, where a spider plant called Deposit sits among cassette tapes. He is restoring a warped 1970s Korean guitar that nobody else wanted.

Callum Hart: Callum restores Edinburgh tenements and a church hall that keeps trying to fall down politely. At home in Leith, his rescue cat Ferguson, named after a lighthouse, sits on his wet-ink drawings.

Yu-An Lin: Yu-An is a 33-year-old community pharmacist near Zhongshan Road in Taichung. His paper diary separates shifts, birthdays and recipes in coloured ink; at home, he cooks three chicken soups and listens to the radio while washing dishes.

Ren Takahashi: Ren is a 35-year-old residential electrician in Yokohama. He sketches repairs with a carpenter's pencil stub kept in a dented metal tin, rebuilds a crackling radio with a friend, and makes miso soup with whatever the market had.

Jingchuan Zhou: Jingchuan is a 34-year-old civil engineer working on drainage in Hangzhou. He logs balcony rain-gauge readings in a worn field notebook, folds dumplings with sturdy uneven pleats, and collects old maps to trace vanished waterways.

Minh Tran: Minh is 30 and owns a small neighbourhood café in Hải Châu, Da Nang. He writes the specials by hand, keeps his father's grease-marked order ledger behind the counter, and tests new bánh mì fillings on willing regulars.

Adam Iskandar: Adam is 34 and runs a bicycle workshop near Jalan Burma in George Town. He restores old steel frames, guards a torque wrench he painted yellow, and sweeps the shop floor while old rock records play on a cheap turntable.

Niran Srisai: Niran is a 29-year-old furniture restorer in a shared workshop off Wua Lai Road, Chiang Mai. He keeps salvaged brass drawer pulls tagged with their cabinets, preserves the marks in old finishes, and sketches chair legs in a pocket notebook.

Rafael Mendoza: Rafael is a 32-year-old laboratory technologist at a private hospital near Mandurriao in Iloilo City. At home, he winds a chipped red kitchen timer, cooks batchoy, and sometimes reads the last chapter of a second-hand mystery first.

YJ's profile describes an articulate, open-minded personality with an interest in ideas and a non-possessive approach to relationships. Ask about an interest you share, or one you know little about. What makes a destination worth the trip? How does he like to spend time away from work? Pick the question you would enjoy exploring.

You can also browse the character directory to meet the wider cast, including female companions.

A good place to begin is simple curiosity. Notice how he approaches a subject, whether his humour suits yours, and what you enjoy about his perspective. A different opinion can give you something interesting to talk about.

Elyvie builds conversations around each character's written personality and background. Each character's interests offer an easy opening. Move between subjects as you get to know their way of talking: a travel idea, a favourite way to unwind, or something you have been thinking about. Share your own view and ask what they make of it.

Read about AI character chat and the broader AI companion experience for more on the format.

Returning to a familiar topic gives a conversation somewhere to go. Perhaps you mentioned a hobby, a preference or a plan. Bring it up again and explore the next part of the story: how it went, what changed, or what you want to try next.

Memory starts after sign-in, and you can view or delete what's saved. Selected details can become memories that a companion uses when relevant. Find individual items in the character's profile, including details you want to check for accuracy or remove as your preferences change.

Read how Elyvie's companion memory works, or use the memory test guide to explore it with harmless details you are comfortable sharing. Choose a small topic and return to it in a later conversation.

Open the public profile of whoever you'd like to meet in your browser, without installing an app. Sign in and text chat is free.

Use the introduction to get a feel for their tone. Ask about something that caught your attention in their profile, or share a small part of your day. Keep it as simple as you like. You can give a longer conversation more time when it suits you.

The free chat guide explains the introduction, and pricing covers current paid options. Choose your own pace and spending limit as you decide how chatting fits into your routine.

Hearing a reply adds delivery to the words on screen. Try audio when you want to listen to a joke or hear the tone of an answer. Keep reading when you prefer a quiet conversation.

Voice replies play on demand; there are no live calls yet. Playback is available for supported companions in signed-in chats, and Theo, Jun-ho, Callum and YJ each have a configured voice. The voice companion page explains playback and the current terms.

Decide what you want to share and which subjects you would prefer to leave out. You can suggest the direction of a fictional scene, change topics or take a break. A conversation can be playful one day and reflective the next; start with what interests you today.

When choosing a service, consider personality, memory controls, voice format and cost together. Elyvie's Replika comparison and Character.AI comparison offer places to continue reading. Visit the privacy policy for details about data handling.
