I’m currently exploring the idea of launching a Candy AI Clone — a virtual AI companion app with features like smart chat, emotional awareness, voice responses, and possibly NSFW capabilities (with proper filters).

Before jumping into development, I’m trying to understand the real scope — both technically and financially.

  • Has anyone here used a good Mobile App Development Cost Calculator to estimate a similar build?

  • What’s the best AI model for handling long conversations with memory?

  • Any suggestions for frameworks or white-label options to speed things up?

  • If you’ve marketed something in the adult or companion niche, how did you manage SEO and app visibility?

I’m in early planning mode and open to collaborations or hiring freelancers/agencies. Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

Sounds like a great idea — definitely a growing niche. For long conversations with memory, GPT-4o or Claude 3 are solid choices. You might try Cleveroad or Estimate My App for rough cost estimates. Flutter or React Native can speed up cross-platform builds. For NSFW, careful App Store compliance is key — consider a web-based version for full features. Happy to chat more if you're looking for collaborators!
