Specs and star ratings only get you so far. The fastest way to tell whether an AI companion pet actually fits you is to watch it move — how its eyes react, how it talks (or deliberately doesn’t), how alive it feels. We gathered hands-on videos for the pets we track so you can compare personality and charm side by side before you buy. Every clip is an independent review or maker demo, embedded from YouTube; we pick them for how well they show the pet in action, not for how flattering they are.
