PolyBuzz built something genuinely fresh: a TikTok-style discovery feed for AI characters, where you swipe, sample a vibe, jump into a quick chat, and bounce to the next one when you are bored. The home feed is the product, and that loop is fast, social, and addictive in the same way short video is. If you open an AI chat app the way other people open Reels — looking for a five-minute distraction rather than a story — PolyBuzz nails that shape better than most competitors and it deserves credit for that.
SupaFriends is pulling on a different thread. We are built for the user who wants the same character to remember last Tuesday's argument, the cabin in chapter four, and the name of the dog they accidentally adopted. Memory is server-side and persistent across devices, the studio lets you shape a character with lore and sample dialogue rather than a one-line bio, and a dedicated long-form writer turns a session into chapters you can export to Markdown or PDF. It is slower to scroll, deeper to live in.
Long arcs or short loops — what each app is built for
Frequently asked questions
If your use case is five-minute breaks, scrolling through new characters the way you scroll TikTok, and you do not really care whether a bot remembers you next week — pick PolyBuzz. That discovery loop is its strongest feature and it is genuinely fun. If you are coming back to the same two or three characters, building a story with them, or want chapter-length output you can keep, SupaFriends is built for that and PolyBuzz is not really trying to be.
Not automatically — there is no direct import — but our studio is fast: paste a description, drop in a few sample lines of dialogue, and add a lore note or two. Most people rebuild a favourite character in under ten minutes and end up with a deeper version because the studio asks for more.
We have a featured library and search rather than an algorithmic feed. The bet is that for the writer-and-roleplayer audience we serve, a curated library beats infinite swipe. If that bet is wrong for you, PolyBuzz is the honest answer.
