MyBot review

What it is

MyBot is a web-based AI companion platform. No download is required. It runs in modern browsers on iOS and Android alike. The pitch is control: users select their underlying LLM, dial content filtering up or down, and sculpt characters across dozens of variables. Pricing starts at $1.99 per month.

Conversation

The platform scores 6.2 here. Writing quality is a clear strength at 7. Sources describe “remarkably fluid and natural style of communication” and “real replies in real time.” Staying in character is weaker at 6. The depth of realism “can vary based on your input,” which places burden on the user. Emotional intelligence also sits at 6. MyBot adapts and learns to communicate specifically with you, but the connection is engineered rather than organic. Response speed is a 6: generally fast, sometimes inconsistent. The Chicago Reader notes the AI is “quick and spontaneous,” though that same source flags refresh issues when latest history fails to appear.

Memory

Memory scores 6.5. Session memory is the stronger pillar at 7. MyBot Infinite Recall, the in-house system, remembers important details. Voice call transcripts drop directly into the main text thread, which aids continuity. Long-term memory is a 6. The system “remembers what matters to you,” but no source specifies duration or capacity limits. Unprompted recall is not addressed in any source. Reviewers did not cover whether characters surface memories without explicit prompting.

Images and video

Image handling scores 6.6, though this is largely speculative. One user testimonial on mybot.ai mentions the ability to “generate and keep images.” No source assesses image quality, consistency, or generation speed. The official site does not detail image generation features. Video scores 0. No video feature is mentioned in any source.

Voice

Voice is a standout at 7. Voice quality earns the same mark. The platform promises “real voices that fit each personality, real-time replies, zero awkward pauses.” Phone calls also score 7. Users can voice-call any character, and transcripts populate the text thread afterward. This integration of voice and text logging is genuinely useful for session continuity.

Customisation

Customisation scores 7.2, the highest pillar. Appearance control is an 8: hair color, vibe, clothing, facial features, and more. Personality depth is a 7. Users micromanage confidence, flirtatiousness, affection, tone, responsiveness, emotional availability, even learning speed. Backstory and scenarios score 7. One user testimonial calls complete backstory creation “transformative.” The character library is a 7: thousands of community creations, unlimited personal characters, public or private. Users praise having “more options than other platforms” with both quick and deep paths.

Freedom and filters

Explicit content scores 8. NSFW is enabled via user-selected uncensored models. The user has “full control over content preferences.” Content range is a 7: light banter, romantic roleplay, deeper emotional connections, vulgarity from clean to extreme. Filter false positives are not addressed in any source. Illegal content remains prohibited regardless of model choice.

Platform and privacy

The web app scores 8. Fully functional, no download, mobile browser compatible. Native mobile apps score 0. “Not today. MyBot is a web app,” the site states plainly. Reliability is a weak point at 5. Fast but inconsistent, with refresh needed if history fails to sync. Privacy clarity is a 7. Conversations are private from other users. Characters can be public or private. Character creators cannot access others’ chats. Anonymity is not covered. Google or email signup is required.

Pricing in detail

Value scores 7.5. The free tier scores 6: limited access to premium features like voice chat, sufficient for trial. Entry price is a 9. Starter is $1.99 per month. Advanced is $3.99. Ultimate is $5.99. The Chicago Reader lists “inexpensive subscriptions” as a key pro. Whether plans are unlimited or credit-based is not stated. Cancellation and refund policies are not covered.

Who it is for

MyBot suits users who want granular control over AI model and content filtering. Budget-conscious users will find the $1.99 entry point appealing. Creators seeking deep character customization with backstories are well served. Those who prefer voice interaction with transcript continuity gain genuine utility. Users wanting NSFW-capable options without platform restrictions are explicitly accommodated.

Who should skip it

Users requiring native mobile apps rather than browser-based access will be frustrated. Those seeking guaranteed consistent performance without refresh issues should look elsewhere. Anyone wanting video interaction capabilities will find none here.
