Prelulu

Prelulu is a video-calling app for AI characters. Instead of typing to a chatbot, you start a face-to-face call: the character answers in its own voice with a live, expressive face, and you can cut in mid-sentence the way you would with a friend. Response time is about 200-300 ms (the founder's own measurement). You can pick from a library of characters or create your own, and your camera stays off unless you choose to share it. Prelulu runs in the browser and on iOS and Android. Pricing: welcome credits cover a short first call, free daily text, then credits. Where we're heading next: roleplay and story chat with characters, and later multi-character story worlds. Built in San Francisco by founder Tony Tong.
