Joi AI

What Joi AI does

Joi AI is an AI companion platform founded in 2023 and rebranded from Eva AI in April 2025, operating as a subsidiary of Social Discovery Group. The platform serves adult users seeking emotionally available, judgment-free AI companionship, intimate roleplay, and sexual self-discovery through character-driven conversations. Target users are primarily adults 18+ experiencing loneliness or exploring sexuality, with a secondary segment of cost-conscious singles who view AI relationships as an alternative to traditional dating. Approximately $4 million in outside capital has been raised since founding (PitchBook estimate), and the company claims profitability after accumulating 800,000+ chat interactions across 1 million+ monthly active users, supported by a staff of roughly 70 employees.

The core product is a multimodal web platform that combines generative text chat, voice messaging, voice calls, AI image generation, and AI video generation within a single character-driven interface. Underlying capabilities include large language model-based conversational AI, generative AI for visual content, speech synthesis for mood-matched audio experiences, and a personalization/recommendation engine that maps users to character personas. A character gallery system offers curated AI personas with fan counts, bios, and media assets. Specialized modules include a Digital Twin Creator Program (launched May 2025 with adult content creator Violet Myers) and a Daily Guided Masturbation NSFW audio wellness feature (launched May 2026). The platform operates browser-based globally with no dedicated mobile application and no public API.

Joi AI's revenue model combines a freemium subscription structure with a virtual currency overlay. Paid tiers include Basic (~$9.99/month), Premium (~$19.99/month), and Premium Plus (~$16.93/month), plus a 1,000-coin pack priced at $13.99/month that unlocks character-specific premium content and scenarios. Distribution is product-led through the direct-to-consumer joi.ai website and supplemented by an affiliate program that pays recurring commissions on referred paying users. Marketing relies heavily on viral PR stunts (notably a May 2026 'masturbation consultant' job posting that generated 16.7 million Twitter views and over 103,000 applications) and on industry surveys positioning the company as a thought leader in AI sexuality and companion markets.
