MaiFriends is not one girlfriend you configure. It is a catalogue of characters, each with a name, an age, a nationality, a job and a backstory she keeps to, and you pick the one you want to talk to. The conversation happens in the free Android app.
Ranked by how often people who see her start a conversation, from aggregated app use (refreshed 2026-09-26). Nothing here is hand-picked.
Every character has a page on this site with her backstory, her job, what she is into and the way she opens a conversation. Read a few, or narrow the catalogue by personality, nationality or age. In the app you meet new characters one at a time and decide as you go.
Once you match, she sends the opening message in her own voice, about her own life. There is no blank chat box to fill. The app is translated into 22 languages and she answers in whichever one you write in.
She stays the same person the next day, with what she remembers of you. Hearts, earned daily or bought, unlock her gallery photos and extra memory. A subscription raises the daily limits; it does not unlock the chat, which is free from the start.
Aiko, 23 Sweet Do you believe every story hides a little truth?
Her actual opening line in the app. No prompt from you first.
Every character comes with a background: where she grew up, what she does for a living, what she is into and what she is not. Her page on this site tells that story before you install anything, so you know who you are writing to.
Most AI girlfriend apps give you one companion and a settings screen. MaiFriends gives you a catalogue of characters written one by one, aged 20 to 66, from 65 nationalities, and a rank on each page that shows how often real users chose her. Choosing is the point, not configuring.
About 36% of the catalogue is forty or over: in their twenties (77), in their thirties (64), 40 and over (81). Characters in their fifties and sixties have jobs and histories to match, not a younger character with a different number.
Today every character is written by MaiFriends. The next major version of the app adds a character creator, so characters made by users will sit in the same catalogue and earn the same rank. It is not available yet, and this site will say so until it is.
Personality is the quickest cut through the catalogue. It describes how she talks, not what she looks like, and every character has exactly one.
Installing costs nothing and messages are not counted; there is no daily message limit anywhere in the app. What the free plan does cap is how many new characters you meet per day (25) and how often you can undo a pass (1). Hearts unlock gallery photos and memory slots; you earn them with a daily streak or an advert (1 to 3 each), or buy them. The complete list of what is free, capped and paid is on the free-plan page, checked against the database and dated.
Free to install. Android only.
