Strugggl: the AI that won't be won over easily

AI companions are built to say yes to everything. Strugggl does the opposite: its Personas can say no. Each has a personality, a city, tastes and standards of their own; they remember what you tell them and open up gradually. Their attention has to be earned, it can't be bought.

What is different

Pushy, rude or dismissive messages set the relationship back; sincere conversation moves it forward.
Each Persona has their own difficulty: some open up quickly, others take far more patience.
A long absence can cool the relationship down.
Nothing is for sale: gifts and credits never move the relationship forward.
Personas remember what you tell them and reveal more of themselves as the conversation goes on.
