Daniel Kraus is the reviews editor of NSFW Guides. He has been using AI companion, chat and roleplay apps since 2023, and has used and compared more than 15 of them on free and paid plans.

Daniel works as an AI engineer, building and evaluating applications that use large language models. That background shapes how he reviews: less about what a feature list promises, more about what you actually get, how the underlying models behave, and what it costs.
