CamSoda Launches New AI Girlfriends: But Will They Commit?

Has CamSoda ever met a gimmick it didn't fancy?!

This is the platform that was flogging VR cam shows back in 2015, spent the following decade strapping teledildonics to anything with a pulse, and has forged a reputation for the old saying: 'any publicity is good publicity'.

So when the AI girlfriend gold rush rolled into town... you just knew CamSoda would be one of the first out of cam land to join the queue.

Sure enough, the company has quietly launched CamSoda.ai - a standalone AI girlfriend subsite where you can chat, flirt and trade pictures with virtual GFs (who never disappear offline, and rarely say no).

CamSoda actually bolted a free AI girlfriend builder onto its main site back in 2024, and there was the usual press release, complete with a VP talking about helping to "foster connections."

This time, there has been much less fanfare. The subsite has been isolated from Soda's core live cams offering. Indeed, we couldn't find a single mention of it on their main homepage.

Maybe that's because this crossover is a little bit awkward.

After all...

When a cam site starts selling girlfriends who aren't real... what does that say to the thousands of models who are?

What You Actually Get at CamSoda.ai

If you've seen an AI girlfriend app like Candy.ai or GirlfriendGPT, you'll know exactly what to expect here.

CamSoda.ai is a browser-based AI companion app: pick from a library of 200-odd prebuilt characters - or create your own - then chat away, just like you would on a cam site.

Text is unlimited and "free" once you've subscribed, while the premium sub ($9.99/month) unlocks voice notes, image generation and a longer memory (so your new boo doesn't forget your kinks). Billing is handled discreetly through Epoch.

The most interesting detail is buried in CamSoda's own marketing, which boasts that every companion runs on "the same chat engine we developed for live cam interaction."

Hold that thought. We'll come back to it.

As for quality... let's be honest about this: it's pretty basic at present.

The chat is formulaic, the characters mostly blur into the same breathy persona, and the "live" mode drip-feeds new actions (bend over, handjob, blowjob, etc) behind successive paywalls.

With a subscription, you can chat away endlessly. But you'll need to spend credits to unlock images and animations in the forms of 'actions'.

The content filter is still fairly lightweight for a brand built on hardcore cam shows. Anyone who's spent time on the dedicated AI girlfriend platforms we mentioned above (Candy, Cupid, Replika, etc) - the ones that have been iterating on this stuff for three years - will clock CamSoda.ai as a first-generation effort.

Evidently, it's built to tap into Soda's existing userbase, NOT to compete with the specialist virtual AI GFs in this space.

If you scroll down the homepage, you'll see CamSoda explain:

How is Camsoda AI different from other AI girlfriend apps?
Camsoda AI is built by the team behind Camsoda. The chat engine, the character library, and the visual style all come from years of running live adult cam interaction. Other AI girlfriend apps start from a generic chatbot. Camsoda AI starts from a product that was already in the same space.

All good intentions.

But having tested the product, it feels... like a generic chatbot.

One that has no visual cohesion with the actual CamSoda brand, beyond the shared logo in the top left corner.

Not That You Can Blame Them For Trying

The AI girlfriend sector is enjoying a massive boom.

Analysts put the market somewhere around $2.5–3 billion in 2025, with projections of $10 billion-plus within a few years - and one particularly giddy investment house has talked itself into a $150 billion scenario by 2030. Those are the kinds of numbers that are bound to attract attention from adjacent competitors in the cams space.

And if the demand catches on, the revenue mechanics are deliciously tempting...

An AI girl is a performer who never takes a revenue share.

She never sleeps, never has an off night, never disputes a payout, and never buggers off to OnlyFans with her regulars.

Every token she "earns" belongs to the house. The only expense is the LLM API fees to make the magic happen (not insignificant, btw).

All to say: if you run a business whose single biggest cost is paying human talent, the temptation writes itself.

Which is why CamSoda is far from alone.

Jerkmate has its own AI pornstars subsite. Lovense turned up at CES this year with a $4,000+ AI companion doll, of all things. And LiveJasmin has already been (and gone) with their own AI offerings.

Remember Jasmin.ai?

Around 2024, Byborg the Luxembourg giant behind LiveJasmin - slipped out its own AI girlfriend product at Jasmin.ai. Similarly, it had a pretty quiet launch. The site ran for the best part of two years as a standalone app with its own characters and its own subscription.

Type the address in today and you'll bounce straight back to LiveJasmin's homepage.

We never saw an explanation for the site disappearing.

One of the biggest cam brands on the planet simply folded its AI experiment back into the mothership and hoped nobody would ask.

The tempting headline is "cam giant gives up on AI."

The truth is messier - and more telling. In late 2025, Byborg went out and bought Cuties AI, one of the stronger dedicated AI girlfriend platforms, outright. So they didn't abandon the category at all. They simply concluded that building a convincing AI companion in-house is harder than it looks, and wrote a cheque for someone who'd already done it.

Which is all well and good, but if you access Cuties AI at the time of writing (July 2026), it's offline. The site bounces back to the original LiveJasmin site. Home of... real human cam girls.

That's the context CamSoda is launching into. Even a cam operator with Byborg's resources couldn't make its homegrown version stick, despite a site design that was much more cohesive than the current Soda AI offering.

The Friction Between Cam Sites and AI

Now, back to that chat engine...

To be rather blunt about this, a cam site's entire product is human beings.

The models are the supply side, right?

Every dollar these platforms have ever made was generated by a real person performing live. And now the house is selling an alternative that requires none of them.

The official framing, whenever platforms get pushed on this, is that AI companions are complementary. Different product, different user, nobody's shift gets cannibalised. And there's some truth in it: the lonely bloke texting a chatbot at 3am isn't necessarily the same wallet as the whale dropping $500 on a private show.

But models have every right to squint at that logic.

Because CamSoda's AI girls were, by the company's own admission, built on the chat engine developed for live cam interaction (we haven't actually seen evidence of that, but let's take it at face value).

This means that somebody's flirting trained that machine. And when the AI does the flirting now, no model sees a penny of it.

There is a defensible version of adult AI - the licensed clone model, where a performer rents out her own likeness, approves the product, and takes a cut of every subscription. Riley Reid co-founded Clona on exactly that premise. Whatever you make of it, at least the performer is a shareholder in her own replacement.

CamSoda's version is not that, which is probably why their new AI offering is kept suspiciously detached from the main cam site.

There is an underlying friction between the two products.

Should the Models Actually Be Worried?

Not yet.

Live cams have a moat that no language model can cross: the show is live, and the woman is real.

She might laugh at your crap jokes. She might ignore you completely. She might log off mid-sentence. That unpredictability - the fact that attention has to be won, in real time, from an actual human - is the entire product, and the source of the all-important dopamine hit that keeps you coming back for more.

Most of the whales know the difference. And the whales pay for real.

BUT... there are whales in the AI girlfriend space, too.

And we don't blame slick operators like CamSoda for chasing them.

Ultimately, the direction of travel matters more than the v1 product. Some of the biggest brands in camming are now quietly building - or buying - alternatives to their own talent. That's a hedge. And a hedge tells you exactly what the house thinks might happen at the table.
