Frequently asked questions

Before you buy, ask the awkward questions.

No tiny accordion column in the corner. The answers are organised across the full page so the product is easier to understand at a glance.

What is AVRE Companion?

A Windows personal AI Companion designed around a local-first private core, persistent identity, memory, voice, private media, image generation and an evolving 3D avatar layer.

Does the AI run locally?

That is the product direction for the private Companion core. Online services can still be used for licensing, updates, downloads, commerce and optional connected features.

Is AVRE a real person?

No. AVRE Companion is fictional AI. AVRE Originals is a separate 18+ service that contains real photography/video featuring real adult models.

Can I rename the Companion?

Yes. The default/test name is only a starting point; the chosen name is intended to be used naturally in chat and voice.

Can I talk instead of type?

Yes. Speech-to-text is being integrated directly into the normal message composer so recognized text can be reviewed and edited before sending.

Does every reply speak automatically?

The current UX direction is no. Text should appear immediately; the user can play a Companion message with a speaker control when voice is wanted.

What personalities are planned?

Presets include styles such as Sweet, Dominant, Bratty, Bimbo, Wife and Girlfriend, plus a Custom/Adaptive mode.

Can the relationship develop gradually?

Yes. Relationship stages include stranger, acquaintance, friend, close friend, dating, partner and spouse-style stages.

Are identity and anatomy the same setting?

No. Gender identity, presentation and body configuration are intentionally independent so one field does not incorrectly define the others.

What is Private Media?

Private Media belongs to the local Companion experience. It is not the AVRE Originals subscriber service and should not be confused with public/commercial content.

Can the Companion generate images?

That is an active feature area. The target UX is Generate Selfie → result in chat, with natural-language refinements typed in the normal conversation.

Will there be a 3D avatar?

Yes. The current Stage 5 work is validating the local 3D renderer, state machine, lip sync, expressions and gestures before final commercial human avatar assets replace the development puppet.

Does AVRE have adult features?

Adult interaction is planned for consenting adults as an explicit opt-in with roles, preferences, initiation controls and hard limits.

Is the base Companion a subscription?

The commercial direction is a one-time base purchase for the owned version, with optional paid major upgrades and add-ons rather than a mandatory monthly fee.

What is AVRE Originals?

A separate adults-only subscription for AVRE's own real photography and video, with posts, photo/video feed and messaging.

Is Originals pay-per-view?

No PPV unlock layer is planned. The subscription is intended to include the content assigned to the active membership level.

Can other creators upload adult content?

No. AVRE Originals is intended as an admin-only in-house publication service, not an open creator marketplace.

How will I cancel Originals?

The production account is designed to provide a clear cancellation path. Final CCBill cancellation and support details will be shown before billing goes live.

What hardware do I need?

AVRE will publish benchmark-backed compatibility guidance because LLM, voice, image generation and 3D rendering can compete for CPU, GPU memory and system RAM.

Can AVRE replace a therapist or doctor?

No. AVRE Companion is not a medical, mental-health, legal or emergency service.
