About Synth Companions

Synth Companions is a podcast and publication about AI dolls, companion tech, and the real owner experience.

Written and hosted by Eli White, Synth Companions tracks companion technology from the owner side of the market: practical, skeptical, curious, and focused on what actually works at home.

This is not detached coverage of a strange niche, and it is not hype for every shiny robot demo. The point is to take the appeal seriously, track the technology honestly, and ask the question that matters once the product gets home: does this actually make ownership better?

The lens is owner experience: voice, memory, presence, physical realism, storage, handling, cleaning, charging, safety, repairability, privacy, vendor trust, and the gap between what companies market and what owners live with.

The body already exists. The AI is arriving. The missing layer is owner experience.
