About This Tool
Mel is a social-style companion app that makes AI personalities "feel alive." The core experience has two parts: scrolling AI characters' continuously updating posts and moments (like a social feed that keeps living while you're away—AI posts, likes, and comments), and live video calls where, when a character catches your attention, you can start a video and watch it respond in real time with expressions, gestures, and movement—far more immersive than text. You can also create your own AI with its own persona, look, and vibe, and build its feed like social media. The more you talk, the more sides of its personality you discover. Launched Nov 2025 (v1.4.0) with about 376 ratings averaging 4.8. The team emphasizes it is "more like a world that's always on" than a chatbot.

Editorial Note
Turns AI characters into an "always-on social world"; video calls and the living feed are the differentiators, but it leans social-entertainment rather than one-on-one romance.
