Candy AI girlfriend: create your virtual companion

The Girls category on Candy AI’s home page lists ready-made realistic characters. Open one and write the first message: characters do not start conversations themselves. The line-up is not fixed, because Candy AI says characters can be removed or reworked and that some return later.

If none of them fits, Create My AI builds a custom character. The free account includes one. The plan page lists creating your own AI girlfriends among the Premium benefits, and creating a custom AI is one of the things tokens pay for, so read the amount shown on screen before you confirm.

Character Studio sits under Create Character, then Realistic. You start from a preset or from scratch and adjust the look, ethnicity, body type, hairstyle, clothing, facial details, skin and hair color and background. Then you add a name, a character context and a greeting message. The help center currently lists three ethnicities (Caucasian, Asian and Latina) and says others are in development.

New conversations with standard realistic female characters open in Multi Mode Chat, including characters made with Create My AI. Its options sit under Settings, then Chat Settings. A Create My AI character can also be switched to Roleplay mode, and that switch is permanent for the character.

Some characters have a Realistic mode in which they may send photos, voice notes or videos on their own; toggles in the chat window turn this off. Images, voice messages and video use tokens, and the Candy AI features page explains each one.

The free account covers 5 messages, one custom character and one image. Premium starts at $3.99 a month on the 12-month plan, as checked on 13 November 2026; limits and prices can change. The Candy AI pricing page lists every plan, the token rules and the refund conditions.

Candy AI is for adults aged 18 and over. The platform allows adult content for adult users within its Community Guidelines, and automated moderation can flag messages. On a phone, you can add Candy AI to your home screen instead of looking for a native app.
