1/5(Poor) No pre-made characters available, only those you create yourself. | 3.8/5(Good) Decent quantity but lacks diversity in body types and age ranges. |
Nomi AI
Here's the truth about Nomi AI's character selection: there isn't one. You can only interact with characters you build yourself.
Thotchat AI
Thotchat AI's selection breaks down into 102 realistic and 50 anime characters.

Thotchat AI- Character Selection
All common ethnicities are available—you can choose from Asian, Latina, and Caucasian appearances for realistic characters.

Thotchat AI - Ethnicities
For fantasy/anime types, options include— elves, cyborgs, catgirls, and other imaginative designs.

Thotchat AI - Fantasy & Anime Options
But here's the catch: almost every character is young (18-30) and slim or athletic.

Thotchat AI - Limited Body Types
Finding a companion is straightforward: you can sort by popularity or new arrivals, filter by style, and choose female, male, or futa characters.

3.2/5(Good) Basic customization with limited physical options and only one free character. | 4.1/5(Very Good) Robust customization with impressive depth, but personality options are limited. |
Nomi AI
The customization itself is straightforward but limited.
You’ll start by choosing the basics for your girlfriend:
- Relationship type (like friend, girlfriend, mentor, etc.)
- Gender

Nomi AI – Choosing your interests
What you won't find here are detailed physical customization options or anime-style characters. Instead, you simply choose a photo for your girlfriend from a curated gallery.

You can set her personality and interests.

Want to write a background story? It's optional, but it helps shape your girlfirend identity.

Thotchat AI
Thotchat AI offers two ways to create your girlfriend:

Nomi AI
Nomi delivers what it promises. I set her personality traits to flirtatious, and that's exactly how she behaved.

While the emotional support isn't groundbreaking, the replies are short and natural, making it feel more like texting a real person than chatting with an AI.

My girlfriend handles relationship talks smoothly, without the robotic feel.

The downside? You'll wait longer between messages than competitors.
Thotchat AI
Before you start chatting, you can view your AI girlfriend’s profile, including her description, character traits, some SFW images, and unlockable NSFW content.

Thotchat AI - Character Profile
You can set a user persona for a deeper, more personal connection, or create new scenarios to play out with your AI girlfriend.

Thotchat AI - Scenario & Persona
For my tests, I created a companion with the ‘Temptress’ personality—playful, flirtatious, and always leaving me wanting more—and set our relationship type to “girlfriend.”

My girl stayed true to her personality throughout conversations.

When I needed emotional support, she was empathetic and playful, offering gentle touches, teasing remarks, and lighthearted guidance.

Even when relationship issues came up, she responded with clear, confident answers—sometimes a bit too confident—but always attentive.

But my favorite part was when my girl sent me images during our chats—most were free, unlike other apps where they’re usually behind a paywall.

NSFW Chat Experience
Nomi AI | Thotchat AI |
---|---|
3.7/5(Good) Decent NSFW chat, but it goes back and forth between engagement and retreat. | 4.1/5(Very Good) Personalized, flirty experiences despite rushed intros, formatting glitches, and persona hiccups. |
Nomi AI
Your girlfriend is open to intimate discussions, but the results are mixed. When she's good, she's engaging, offering detailed responses and playful banter.
But there's a catch: she makes progress in the interaction, but then pulls back, which can come off a bit robotic or inconsistent.

Nomi AI – Opens up... then retreats in chat.

For roleplay enthusiasts, here's the truth: While she'll participate in your scenarios, her responses lack detail, and you'll need more time before things get spicy.

Nomi AI – Missing the details for sensual immersion.

My girl stayed personal and engaging. When I asked about her past, she said it was with me (of course), but left room to mention her wild past if I wanted to satisfy my curiosity.

My girlfriend flirted naturally, teased playfully, and referenced past chats to make the connection feel real.

The roleplay feature could use some improvement — I tried a few scenarios, and they all jumped into action too quickly without building tension, which felt a bit jarring.

But once I got past the initial rush, my girl adapted to the scenario really well and made it exciting.

Something a bit annoying: the narrative text sometimes blended with my girl’s dialogue, making her responses harder to read.

Another issue was: My girlfriend kept calling me “Anon” even though my profile name was set to Marcus.

Image Generation
Nomi AI | Thotchat AI |
---|---|
4.2/5(Very Good) High-quality, realistic images with impressive detail but flawed hands. | 4/5(Good) Near-photorealistic quality with consistent character alignment. |
Nomi AI
Nomi AI offers two ways to generate images: a dedicated "create art" feature and in-chat generation, but NSFW content creation is not allowed.
In-chat image generation is a bit of a mixed bag—sometimes it nails it, other times it completely misses the mark.
The "create art" feature is your best bet. It consistently produces high-quality, realistic images based on your free-text description.

Nomi AI - “Create Art” feature
While the overall results are impressive, you'll notice some quirks with hands and fingers - they often look slightly unnatural.
Thotchat AI
Thotchat AI offers two options for generating images:
- In-chat generation: Instantly creates a selfie or unlockable nude image—details can’t be customized.
- Dedicated image creator: A separate tool offering more control and customization for creating detailed images.

Thotchat AI - In-Chat Images
In-Chat Generation: Occasionally, you may receive repeated or similar images, but you can request unlimited SFW images of your character.

Thotchat AI - Repeated Images
Dedicated Image Creator lets you control every detail:
- Character Selection: Pick from the full roster (no filters or search bar).
- Prompt Suggestions: Add details such as action, clothing, environment, and emotion.
- Free Text Prompting: Craft your own prompts for complete creative freedom.

Thotchat AI - Image Generator
The images are high-quality and nearly photorealistic, with consistent characters, though a slight animated look is noticeable on closer inspection.
Video Generation
Nomi AI | Thotchat AI |
---|---|
4.3/5(Very Good) Realistic quality but with awkward eye movements and stiff animations. | 1/5(Poor) No video generation capabilities whatsoever. |
Nomi AI
The sharp and detailed videos make the AI girlfriend feel more lifelike than static images.
While these videos look great, they’re completely silent — your AI girl won’t speak or make any sounds.
But here's the truth: while impressive, it's not flawless. The eye movements can look unnatural, and some body animations appear stiff.
Thotchat AI
Thotchat AI doesn’t generate videos. If you’re looking for video features, you'll need to look elsewhere.
Voice Generation
Nomi AI | Thotchat AI |
---|---|
3.2/5(Good) Robot-like tone without any emotional range. | 2.8/5(Good) Voice is clear but robotic with zero emotional range or adaptability. |
Nomi AI
I spent hours testing her voice features, and here's the truth: imagine an audiobook narrator attempting to be your girlfriend.
I tried flirting with my girlfriend, but the voice stayed emotionless.
However, there is a workaround: you can connect an Eleven Labs API key to access different voice options, giving your girlfriend a more unique sound.

Nomi AI – Custom audio with ElevenLabs
Thotchat AI
Thotchat AI’s voice works, but don’t expect magic: it comes through clearly, but you can tell it’s AI-generated.
Flirty conversations? The voice stays flat no matter what.
Privacy
Nomi AI | Thotchat AI |
---|---|
2.8/5(Good) Lacks encryption and stores extensive data with minimal user control. | 2.8/5(Good) No chat encryption and concerning data-sharing practices. |
Nomi AI
Your chats with Nomi aren't encrypted and even advise against sharing personal information.
Nomi stores your account details, chat messages, and usage data and may share them with third-party service providers.

Nomi AI bank statement
Your bank statement will show "Nomi.ai" as the merchant.
Thotchat AI
While Thotchat says they use "acceptable security measures," they don't specify what these measures are.
They collect your personal data (name, email), usage data (IP address, device info), and can share it with third parties.
The bank statement shows "CCbill.com Thotchat" - something to keep in mind if you prefer discretion.
