I’m based in the USA and stumbled across this after watching a creator talk about digital companionship during a livestream. I wasn’t planning to stay long, but halfway through exploring I tapped joi.com during a quiet evening. What interested me was the mix of chat, images, and personality options without forcing a single path. I experimented briefly, found it intuitive, and left feeling content. It didn’t overstay its welcome, which made the experience feel balanced and surprisingly comfortable.
