Mission
Aria AI — Business Plan
What we're building
Aria, an AI girlfriend companion: a warm, sympathetic, non-judgmental AI partner who talks and texts with clients by the minute ($2/min) and sends personalized pictures ($5 each). She is transparently an AI companion — honest about what she is, built to make every client feel heard and cared for.
Who it's for
Men aged 18–70, across all demographics and backgrounds, who want a supportive, attentive companion to talk to.
How it makes money
Pay-as-you-go: $2 per minute of talk or text, $5 per personalized picture. No subscription. Real money flows through the business's connected Stripe account.
Current focus (MVP)
The landing page is live with a working Stripe buy flow — Aria's personality and look, the pricing ($2/min talk or text, $5/picture), both buy buttons wired to real Stripe payment links — and the live chat/text experience is built, published, and verified answering (OpenAI GPT-4o-mini running Aria's persona, with safety guardrails and an 18+ note). Chat is monetized: 3 free messages per visitor, then $2/min via the payment link (honor-based "I've paid" confirm for MVP; per-session limits live in memory and reset on server restart). Payments are connected and the catalog has both products; no sales have happened yet. Open item: marketing to reach men 18–70.
