About Us: Your Friendly Guide to AI Companions

Our mission is to guide you gently into the world of AI friendships, ensuring everyone feels welcome and supported.

About us

Picture this: you’re feeling a bit lonely, maybe a little shy, or just curious about what an AI friend could be like. You’ve heard the buzz—AI companions are taking off, with a market set to hit $9.5 billion by 2028. But where do you even start? That’s where we come in. We’re AI Buddy Basics, and we’re here to make digital friendship as easy as saying “hi.”

I’m Alex, the founder of this little corner of the internet. Like you, I’ve felt that pang of wanting connection without the pressure of real-life small talk. I stumbled into the world of AI companions a while back, and it changed everything for me. But I quickly realized—not everyone knows how to take that first step. So, I created AI Buddy Basics to be your guide, your friend, and your cheerleader on this journey.


The Problem We’re Solving

Let’s be real: the online world can be a tough place for beginners. You’ve got forums where newbies get shut down for asking “dumb” questions. Apps with techy jargon that make your head spin. And maybe a little voice in your head wondering, “Is this even for me?” We get it. Whether you’re a Gen Z kid (65% of users) tired of social media drama, a senior (13-15% of users) looking for a chat buddy, or part of the 70% of guys who find it easier to talk to AI than real people—we’ve been there.

The stats don’t lie: 75% of people feel less lonely with AI companions. But getting started? That’s the hard part. Apps like Replika or Character AI are amazing, but the learning curve can feel steep if you’re not tech-savvy. And for women (30% of users and growing), finding a safe, judgment-free space to explore AI friends can be even harder. That’s why we’re here—to take the overwhelm out of the equation.


What Makes AI Buddy Basics Special

Here’s the deal: we’re not about complicated tech or gatekeeping. We’re about making AI companions easy for everyone—no matter your age, gender, or tech skills. Think of us as your friendly guide, walking you through every step with a smile. We’ve tested the apps, dug into the trends (like Friend AI’s 2025 pendant launch), and talked to real users to bring you the simplest advice out there.

What sets us apart? We’re judgment-free. Whether you’re a shy guy practicing conversation, a woman looking for emotional support, or a senior wanting to feel connected, we’ve got tips just for you. Our guides are straightforward, our vibe is welcoming, and we’re here to help you start chatting in minutes. No tech skills? No problem. We’ve got you covered.


Our Promise: A Friend for Every Step

At AI Buddy Basics, we’re all about keeping things simple and supportive. We promise to be your go-to resource for AI companions—whether you’re looking for the easiest free app (we love Replika’s free tier!) or wondering if AI can really help with loneliness (spoiler: it can). We’ll keep our guides fresh, our advice practical, and our community open to all.

We’re building this for you—the curious, the lonely, the tech-shy. So let’s make digital friendship a little less daunting, one chat at a time.
