most ai companion apps drift between generations. the “her” in photo 3 is a different person than photo 1. lucy anchors every companion to a consistent face via pulid-on-flux. 3 free to start.
Free tier: 25 messages/day. Crypto checkout — cards coming soon.
you ask your ai companion for a photo. she sends one. it's pretty. you ask again ten minutes later and now it's... a different woman? same name, different face.
this is the default in the category. most apps generate each photo fresh with no anchor identity, so “her” is really a different AI-generated face each time. it breaks immersion instantly.
you wanted a companion who looks like one person. you got a rotating collage.
lucy uses pulid-on-flux, an identity-anchoring pipeline that takes a single reference face and keeps it consistent across every photo. same face in photo 1, photo 50, photo 500.
for each of the 101 companions, we authored a reference face once. every photo she sends is re-rendered against that anchor. outfits change, lighting changes, settings change. she does not.
face-swap on user-uploaded companions works the same way. upload a reference, lucy anchors to it.
single-reference identity model. same face across every generation. no drift.
one-time on free tier. enough to see whether her face stays consistent before you commit.
daily quotas that replenish at midnight utc. credits top up if you want more.
she decides when a photo makes sense. at lower relationship stages she teases; at higher stages she sends.
face consistency is a solved problem in ai image generation — if you pay for it. it uses an identity-anchoring step (in lucy's case, pulid) layered on top of the base image model (flux dev).
most ai companion apps skip this step because it's expensive per-generation and because most users don't notice on the first photo. they notice on the fifth. by then the product has already locked in the “different woman every time” problem.
lucy's bet: face consistency is the minimum acceptable quality bar for a companion you're supposed to form a relationship with. the anchor cost is baked into the daily photo limits (5 on closer, 12 on bonded) to keep unit economics healthy.
the engineering detail: we author one reference face per companion using an authoring pipeline, save the pulid embedding, and every subsequent photo is rendered against it. outfits, poses, settings, lighting all vary — identity is invariant.
for users who want a specific look, you can also request things in chat: morning hair, coffee shop, a specific outfit. lucy's media orchestrator decides whether to send based on relationship stage, conversation context, and daily quota.
when you're ready to try: free tier gets 3 trial photos, no credit card. if she feels like the same person across all 3, you know the product is what it claims to be. that's the test.
