AI Girlfriend Statistics 2026: What 1,533 First Conversations Show
Last updated: October 15, 2026 | Lovora is an adults-only (18+) service on which all content is generated by artificial intelligence.
Most published “AI girlfriend statistics” are survey results or market-size estimates. These are not: they are counts from the event log of a running adults-only AI companion service, Lovora, for the 30 days from September 15 to October 14, 2026. The unit is the first conversation: a person sending a first message to a companion (1,533 in the period). Everything is aggregated; nothing here describes an individual.
1. Key numbers
- 1,533 first conversations from 119 countries in 30 days.
- 81% came from countries where English is not the main language.
- 84.9% started on a phone.
- 33.3% were with a companion the user designed; 812 companions were designed in the period, 90% of them realistic rather than anime.
- About 59% of photo requests described lingerie or underwear, about 17% nudity.
- Of age checks started where the law requires one, 37% passed and 41% were abandoned.
2. Where users are
Share of first conversations by country (country from the connection; 2.7% could not be located and are excluded from the shares).
| Country | Share |
|---|---|
| United States | 14.5% |
| Brazil | 13.3% |
| India | 6.0% |
| Germany | 5.1% |
| Turkey | 3.4% |
| France | 3.2% |
| United Kingdom | 3.0% |
| Saudi Arabia | 2.3% |
| Egypt | 2.3% |
| Italy | 2.2% |
| Argentina | 2.0% |
| Japan | 1.9% |
| Region | Share |
|---|---|
| Europe (incl. UK, Ukraine, Russia) | 27.9% |
| Latin America | 19.6% |
| Asia | 16.9% |
| North America (US, Canada) | 15.1% |
| Middle East and North Africa (incl. Turkey, Iran) | 13.3% |
Only 19% of first conversations came from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Ireland. An AI companion that only works well in English serves a minority of the people who look for one; the per-language quality of Lovora’s chat and voice is measured on Languages on Lovora.
3. Devices
| Device | Share of first conversations |
|---|---|
| Phone | 84.9% |
| Computer | 13.8% |
| Tablet | 1.3% |
Lovora is a web app (there is no app-store version), so these are browser sessions; see Is there a Lovora app?.
4. Who people talk to
| Companion | Share of first conversations |
|---|---|
| Ready-made, realistic | 61.0% |
| Designed by the user | 33.3% |
| Ready-made, anime | 3.0% |
| Ready-made, male | 2.7% |
The ready-made catalogue and the designer tell different stories about preference. Among ready-made realistic companions, 79.6% of first conversations were with a white companion, 8.1% Latina, 7.8% Black, 4.3% Asian and 0.2% Arab; the catalogue itself is 61% white, so this is partly the order in which companions are shown. When people design their own, the picture changes:
| Ethnicity chosen in the designer (realistic, 734 companions) | Share |
|---|---|
| White | 45.4% |
| Latina | 24.5% |
| Asian | 19.3% |
| Black | 7.4% |
| Arab | 3.4% |
The median age chosen in the designer was 25 (the minimum is 23): 67% chose 25-29, 19% chose 23-24, and 10% chose 35 or older. Details of the designer: Designing your own companion.
5. What people ask for
2,010 photo requests were made in chats in the period. Classified by keywords in the requested scene:
| Requested scene | Share |
|---|---|
| Lingerie, underwear or swimwear | 59.2% |
| Nudity | 16.9% |
| Anything else (outfits, places, poses, selfies) | 23.9% |
73% of requests came from free accounts and received a blurred preview; 38% of all requests were answered with a matching photo already generated for that companion, which is why most arrive in seconds. Rules for photos: Photos and videos.
6. Online age checks
Where the law requires it (currently the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Brazil and US states with an age-verification law), explicit content opens only after an age check by an independent provider. In the period:
| Outcome of age checks started | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Passed | 109 | 36.6% |
| Failed | 67 | 22.5% |
| Abandoned before a result | 122 | 40.9% |
| Started | 298 | 100% |
More checks are abandoned than fail. How the check works and what is kept: Why Lovora asks you to verify your age.
7. Method and limits
- One service. These are Lovora’s users, who mostly arrive from AI-assistant answers and from search; other services have other audiences.
- Window: 2026-09-15 00:00 UTC to 2026-10-15 00:00 UTC. Unit: the first message of a person to a companion, from the service’s own event log.
- Country comes from the connection, not from a declaration; VPN users count where their VPN exits.
- Photo scenes are classified by keyword matching, so the split is approximate.
- Nothing about payments is published here.
Other measurements from the same service: how often AI moderation blocks were wrong and voice quality in eight languages.
