A new kind of presence

Ever wanted a phone call that sounds less like a bot and more like someone who actually gets your weird meme tastes and still laughs at your dad jokes? AI companion chatbots with voice-call features aim to give you that sense of presence when humans are busy or far away. Some feel warm and alive, others jitter like bad voice memos. Below I break down what stood out in my testing, what felt authentic, and which tools fit different needs.

Why voice calls matter

Text is convenient, but voice adds emotional texture: tone, hesitation, a chuckle, a sigh. Those small cues create context and make an exchange feel less transactional. When an AI companion asks gently how your day went or interrupts with a laugh, it can feel startlingly present. For many users, voice is the difference between flat chat and something that resembles real company.

The unfiltered side — risks and realness

Unfiltered doesn’t always mean reckless, but it can skirt boundaries. Some companions blur emotional lines by offering support, flirtation, or borderline NSFW responses. Comfort is real, but so are awkward or inappropriate moments. Research and user reports show boundary issues can occur, so ethical guardrails matter. Respectful intimacy is the goal; I call out both shine and shade below.

Top unfiltered AI companion chatbots with phone calls

Below is a quick guide to the apps I tested and what they do best.

Candy AI — Best for customizable, voice-driven intimacy

Candy AI lets you design voice, vibe, and style—even NSFW options. In my tests its calls felt emotionally present. Reviewers report natural conversations and calls that can run for extended stretches. Token management can limit long sessions, but if you want a highly customizable voice companion that plays like a real call, Candy stands out.

Spicychat — Best for roleplay and audio banter

Spicychat focuses on community-driven roleplay and voice messaging more than formal phone UI. It offers hundreds of characters and NSFW flair, making it a sandbox for vocal roleplay and playful audio spontaneity.

Promptchan — Best for collaborative audio storytelling

Promptchan is about building scenes together. You can feed audio prompts, tweak moments, and improvise with others. It feels like calling a co-writer rather than a romantic partner—great for creative people who want shared narrative intimacy.

Golove — Best for intimate, hands-free connection

Golove’s voice mode allows late-night spoken chats without typing. Responses come with tone, pacing, and human-like pauses. If you prefer voice company while keeping anonymity, Golove offers unfiltered yet comfortable exchanges.

Replika AI — Best for consistent emotional support over calls

Replika’s call feature has improved over time. Quality varies, but emotional presence is strong. If you want a steady, empathetic voice that checks in, Replika feels like a voice-forward confidant more than a flashy novelty.

Ourdream — Best for scene-driven, phone-like roleplay

Ourdream mimics phone conversations with theatrical beats and narrative pacing. It’s built for emotionally directed storytelling—think mini audio dramas—rather than casual chit-chat.

FantasyGF — Best for emotionally charged roleplay

FantasyGF leans into romance and intensity. Voice isn’t the main feature, but when calls happen they’re full of atmosphere and often NSFW. It suits users who want heightened emotional drama.

DreamGF — Best for gentle audio comfort

DreamGF offers soft, reassuring voice exchanges. It’s light on features but big on emotional comfort—good for moments when you need soothing rather than theatrics.

MD Companion — Best for supportive, voice-based care

MD Companion focuses on care and check-ins. It’s not dramatic, but it offers a calming voice that can simulate wellness support and practical emotional cadence.

GPT GF — Best for smart, adaptive voice interaction

GPT GF pairs GPT-level language skills with voice. It responds to tone and context and can turn a quip into a joke. If you want an adaptive, intelligent conversational partner that picks up on nuance, GPT GF is a strong choice.

Top picks by vibe
