Joi AI researches AI companions for wellness in paid user study

Joi AI, an erotic AI companion platform, paid ten users $2,000 each to participate in a 28-day experiment studying the effects of AI-guided personal stimulation on wellbeing. Participants tracked mood, energy levels and behavioral changes before and after using the platform's customizable digital companions, which offer diverse sexual capabilities and roleplay features. The platform offers pre-made characters and allows users to create personalized companions with internal currency for video calls and virtual purchases.
