Personalized experiences, realistic conversations, and sexy images make this site worthwhile for new and experienced adult AI users alike. However, it's difficult to create characters and images outside the bounds of the site's guardrails, and sometimes the conversations can fall flat when the character forgets previous context or hallucinates during the replies.
Yes, Candy AI offers a reliable and fast service. Compared to similar services, this site provides good value for your money, with the option to spend more to generate additional images. Overall, the service is worth your time, especially if you're unfamiliar with the popular AI models and want a more guided experience.
Candy AI markets itself, in part, as an NSFW alternative to Character AI, a popular AI model. The service allows you to simulate human interaction by role-playing scenarios with AI girlfriends through text or voice chat. Subscribers can also generate photorealistic and illustrated adult images.
Subscribers can also create their own companionship characters. This process involves selecting several variables, like hair color and body type, through a multi-step selection process. Afterward, you can have conversations and generate pictures of your creation.
Fast image and text generation
Multiple art styles
Custom character creation
Simple replies
Forgetfulness and hallucinations
Can't edit custom characters after they're created
Creating AI images is fairly straightforward. The service provides a healthy selection of pre-built models in both realistic and illustrated art styles. The site is split by gender, so you can easily create an AI girlfriend or male companion.
To create, you can make your own prompt with one of the trigger phrases (show me, can I see, etc.). Or you can go through the guided prompt creation process, which will have you choose things like the camera angle, picture location, model accessories, and so on.
Whether you're looking for a casual conversation or something more intense, speaking with these AI characters should scratch the itch. While they don't feel like a real person quite yet, they are human-like. And with a little imagination, it's easy to get lost in deep conversations.
The interface is user-friendly, meaning a simple message window like you'd find on many phone apps. They've augmented their model to ensure the replies are short, on-topic, and not overly descriptive. When they do describe actions, they're usually italicized to avoid confusion.
You can delete your messages and rate the AI companions' responses. These tools help reinforce the model's desired behavior and ensure your conversation doesn't get hung up on some unnecessary detail from a previous message.
One of Candy AI's latest features is the ability to play responses as audio messages. These are spoken through the voice you select during the character creation. You can also join a voice call with them where you both talk. Keep in mind that this service has a per-minute cost.
Creating custom characters is easy. You don't need a membership to see the process, which involves choosing every aspect of your AI girlfriend, from bust size to personality. It is as easy to bring to life a bratty Arab teen as it is a shy blonde MILF.
Censorship is probably why you're considering this site over Character AI, ChatGPT, or any other publicly traded AI company. To put your worries to rest, yes, Candy AI allows NSFW text and images. In fact, there's a strong focus on making that content.
However, there are still model safety measures in place. For example, the site makes it clear they don't allow illegal content, meaning anything referring to minors or incest. That said, stepsister and stepmom are available relationships for you and your custom character to share, so don't despair, taboo porn lovers!
On the text side, you'll find many of the same limits. You can't be too mean-spirited or they'll ask you to stop. They steer clear of controversial roleplay scenarios, too. And sometimes, the replies can overuse the same actions, like seductive lip-biting, simply because they have no other action to reference.
The character creation also has some notable limitations. You're already limited to their options for any specific trait, like breast size or personality type. But they also don't allow certain combinations, like men over 35 and older Arab women. This is likely a result of the training data they use. I recommend exploring the character creator for free to ensure you can create the character you want with a paid membership.
This AI porn site appears to be casting as wide a net as possible in terms of userbase. What this means for prompt complexity is that they err on the side of simplicity and hand-holding. I tried a variety of chat prompt lengths to see if it would affect my responses, but mostly, the models stick to simple, straightforward replies that keep the creativity and control in the user's hands.
For images, the simplicity is an excellent decision. Using the photo generation prompts covers the basics, and you can always make a prompt more specific than the default options allow. Here's an example of how a prompt with all parameters selected looks:
'Standing Full Body picture wearing a bikini at the beach at the beach wearing a baseball cap outdoors view from above'
Taking a global view, the site's simplicity is a double-edged sword. It's a great decision for the image prompts, as most AI models struggle to create accurate and consistent images without sufficient guardrails. But it also makes conversations feel basic and forced, which might upset users looking for more immersive and personalized chats.
Starting with the images, mostly, they're accurate to the model's profile picture. You'll see some inconsistency with facial features and body type but within a margin of error. They'll also have many tell-tale signs of generative creation, like extra creases and muscles that defy human physiology. Genitals are a sticking point for me, as they're hit or miss. No vaginal opening, perfectly straight scrotum wrinkles, and other quirks keep them from resembling the real deal.
Unfortunately, individual characters are fairly limited in scope. You can't change their features or name after creation, and they won't generate images that don't resemble them. In fairness, Candy AI charges for additional models, so it's in their interest to limit the creativity of individual models. But it would still be nice to generate images of a character with another person or in unique positions.
As for the text responses, they're usually pretty accurate to the character and your input. Going on dates, sharing cozy memories, and having sex are all easy to roleplay. Different personalities affect the responses and activities they'll suggest, and their verbosity.
Forgetfulness and context loss are the biggest issues when chatting up an AI girlfriend. You can demand sex right out of the gate, and afterward, they'll act like a stranger going on a first date again. Or they'll forget your name or what was previously said, which can be jarring when trying to roleplay.
Candy AI does not have a mobile app. They are very clear that the service is browser-based, as there have been many imitators and scammers looking to profit from the association. However, that doesn't mean you can't access the site from your phone, although it may impact the overall performance.
Registration is free. To create an account, simply sign up as you would anywhere else. You can associate your existing social media with the service or join using an email address. After you verify your account, you'll have a trial membership and can enjoy all its features.
Even though the trial membership is free, members are very limited. Here's what you can do:
Create one custom AI character.
Start chatting and send five messages to an AI girlfriend.
Browse the various pages, like the landing page, chat interface, and available models.
Generate blurred images.
In case this doesn't translate well, these are basic features that won't entertain you for long. If you're familiar with other AI services, you might know what a membership entails. But if you're inexperienced, the trial will feel like too little water in a large desert.
Premium membership is where all the fun happens. Premium members can look forward to the following benefits:
Unlimited messages
Uncensored images
100 tokens per month
Multiple AI girlfriend slots
Voice messages
Live chatting
Fast responses
Tokens are this site's currency, and they're used for multiple actions. Images cost two tokens to generate, and custom characters cost 10. If you want to hear your chat partner's voice reply, it'll cost you 0.2 tokens per message. Finally, you can join a voice call that'll cost you three tokens per minute.
Candy AI offers a couple of membership plans:
Monthly Membership: $25.99
Annual Membership: $69.99
Depending on when you read this review, there's a good chance you'll have access to a $12.99 monthly discount. But it's a promotional offer, so you might need to wait until a major holiday or Flash sale to get it, and I make no promises it'll still be around when you're ready to join.
Premium members can also purchase additional token packages.
100 tokens = $14.99
350 tokens = $49.99
550 tokens = $69.99
1150 tokens = $134.99
2400 tokens = $269.99
3750 tokens = $409.99
Credit and debit cards are the most common payment methods. You can also pay with various cryptocurrencies. When I tried to join, the service continually declined my payment. Other users voiced similar concerns on the Discord server, so it's a known issue. Of course, some payment methods might have more success than others, like a Visa card tied to a bank account instead of a pre-paid one.
There aren't many support services here. You can send them a direct message or hit up their official social media accounts. As you might expect, these scant contact details directly correlate to user satisfaction with support, especially given all the payment processing complaints.
Separately, the site values users' privacy and data protection. The FAQ provides information about their stance, which states that they use state-of-the-art data storage to ensure privacy. You can also reboot and delete your conversations with the models so that your companionship preferences aren't available to anyone with access to your profile.
The best way to get a sense of what's possible here is to visit Candy AI's Discord channel, as users frequently post creations there. This way, you can understand what's possible with the technology and see where it's most likely to fail or hallucinate. Some people even share their prompts, which can be a valuable resource for improving your AI companions' performance.
They also have a Twitter account showcasing their virtual companions. However, everything there is posted by the webmasters, which means it may not represent the average user. And they don't post any nudity there, either.
AI sites are an emerging service, and my review criteria will change as they mature. As it stands, though, much of my cam site review criteria work for these sites. For example, I still want to know what companionship looks like on the site, whether it's a real person or an AI girlfriend. That applies to text, voice, and image exchanges.
The interactive experience, like customer support, pricing, unique features, and user privacy, is still relevant. However, some criteria are unique to AI chat sites. For example, mood and personality play a big role in realistic companionship, so it's important to look at how the AI communicates. Is it dialogue or description-heavy? How raunchy will it get? Are different characters offering different conversations?
Finally, it's important to look at the AI-specific technical aspects. One example is gauging how much control users have over the model's parameters, from simple text inputs to adjustable temperatures. Another is the breadth of the service, meaning whether you can only use the model for sex chat and making images or if it's open to more mundane uses, like project ideation or event planning.
Candy AI uses advanced AI technology to generate adult images and simulate conversations with virtual companions. Unlike traditional adult content that relies on real people, AI characters can have completely unique personalities and looks, putting creativity in the hands of every user.
The way most advanced artificial intelligence technology works is highly sophisticated guesswork. Under the hood, AI characters leverage large language models and machine learning to understand how language constructions (like sentences and paragraphs) should sound. Then, through reinforcement or repetition training, they learn to choose the right words at the right time. By using different training materials, like Spanish text instead of English, you can make their output more specific to your preferred conversations.
The key features of Candy AI are image generation, immersive and personalized chats, and custom AI characters. Although currently in beta testing, voice messages are an upcoming paid feature that allows you to have voice conversations with your AI character.
Currently, Candy AI has a monthly and yearly subscription plan. Both offer the same set of benefits. You can also join using a free trial, although it is limited.
The AI girlfriend you interact with will feel human-like. Different models have unique personalities, and it's possible to have genuine and deep conversations. However, the technology still struggles with memory, so it may forget the context of a roleplay scenario or previous messages, which can be jarring.
On the image-making side, Candy AI does a great job of making reliable, high-quality images of women and men. It can emulate photorealistic and anime art styles, and you have many parameters to adjust. However, the technology struggles to make hands, genitals, and positions and may have impossible proportions or other telling origin signs.
Yes, most of the services you engage with on Candy AI are interactive. You'll either be speaking with AI characters through text or voice chat, or generating images and custom characters. All of these activities involve some level of interaction.
Yes, members can create their own scenarios while chatting on this service. In fact, most scenarios will be user-generated in the same way genuine interactions are, where your words affect your conversation partner and vice versa. If you're interested in emotional support, you can request it. Or, if you're looking to role-play a sexy nurse, just say the word, and your AI companion will tell you to say, 'Aah.'
Yes, it is free to join and experience some of the services before subscribing. However, it will be far from an immersive chatting experience, as you can only send five messages before your trial ends, and all generated images with adult content are blurred.
Final ThoughtsThis interactive AI sex chat offers a personalized experience and realistic conversations. The character creation restrictions are limiting, but they're also effective, allowing users to consistently engage with the models they like best. Images look crisp and high in quality, but they're still obviously AI-generated.
Overall, Candy AI is a worthwhile service that many will enjoy. It's best for casuals and newcomers who don't mind the lack of customization and non-sexual functionality. However, even experienced AI users will find things to enjoy, like the different personalities and guided image prompt generator.
