About James

James has been tinkering with AI and chatbots since before they were cool. When he's not testing the latest AI companions, you'll find him diving deep into how these systems actually work under the hood. He's the one making sure our reviews tell you what really matters.

James runs the individual app reviews. He makes the account, pays for the tier that matters, and uses the thing for long enough that the first-evening novelty has worn off, which is where most of these apps come apart.

What James looks at

  • How the conversation holds up over a long session, not a first exchange
  • Whether memory survives between sessions or quietly resets
  • What the pricing actually costs once you use the features properly
  • Where an app is doing something genuinely different rather than reskinning the category

Scores and pricing on these pages follow a fixed method, and pricing is re-checked against each provider rather than taken from a press page. The full write-up is on our editorial process page. Spot something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
