How People Are Using AI For AI Companions

In 2025, people use AI companions for emotional support and day-to-day help: they consult Sonnet-4, Opus, Grok-4, and o3-pro, use ChatGPT’s voice assistant to mediate hospital conversations, and try Grok Companions for study alongside apps like Daysi for mood tracking and Ash for therapy. The vibe diverges—some posts describe concrete interventions (e.g., a prompt to call for help) and continued use alongside human therapists, while expert threads frame the evidence as early, citing a randomized NEJM AI result, a Lancet summary, and Anthropic’s finding that only 2.9% of Claude chats are affective. Users generally treat companions as complements rather than replacements, with repeated calls for safeguards and clear escalation paths.
