Editor-in-Chief
Marcus runs the editorial desk at Gay AI Boyfriend and has spent the last three years testing AI companion apps from a gay user’s point of view.
I started testing AI companion apps in 2023, when most of them still treated “boyfriend” as an afterthought: a gender toggle on top of a product built for straight men. Since then I have created, chatted with and deleted more AI boyfriends than I would like to admit, across more than forty platforms.
As editor-in-chief I set the testing process every review on this site follows, sign off on every article and re-check our recommendations when an app changes its pricing, filters or character builder. If a claim on this blog is wrong, it is my job to fix it.
My focus is the long game: how an AI boyfriend holds up after the first week, whether memory actually works, how the app handles intimacy and boundaries, and what you really pay once the free messages run out.

Candy AI added a Trans tab to its character builder, even though its own help center still says it has no trans presets. Here is what the option does, what it costs and where it falls short.

Candy AI has no futanari option. Its builder offers Girls or Trans, and Trans is realistic-only for now. Here is what you can build, what the rules say, and where futa fans have better luck.
