# Browse & Discovery

Discover new companions through personalized recommendations, semantic search, and similar companion suggestions.

### Jump to

* [Browse page overview](#browse-page-overview)
* [V2 companions](#v2-companions)
* [For You recommendations](#for-you-recommendations)
* [Semantic search](#semantic-search)
* [Similar Companions](#similar-companions)
* [Frequently asked questions](#frequently-asked-questions)

### Browse Page Overview

The **Browse page** is where you discover new companions. It features personalized recommendations, powerful search, and filters to help you find exactly who you're looking for.

You can access the Browse page from the main navigation on both desktop and mobile.

### V2 Companions

{% hint style="success" %}
**V2** marks our next generation of companions — look for the iridescent **V2** badge on companion cards and profiles.
{% endhint %}

V2 companions are built with our latest generation pipeline and come fully loaded from day one:

* **Rich photo galleries** shot with the latest Advanced image model
* **Advanced-only image generation** — every image you create with a V2 companion uses the top-tier Advanced model for the best likeness and realism

### For You Recommendations

{% hint style="info" %}
For You recommendations are personalized based on your engagement history and taste profile.
{% endhint %}

The **For You** section on the Browse page suggests companions tailored to your preferences. The more you chat, the better the recommendations become.

#### How It Works

* Companion suggestions are based on your **engagement history** and **taste profile**
* Recommendations **refresh automatically each day**, adapting to your evolving preferences
* Hit **"Refresh"** at any time to load a new set of suggestions

#### Where It Appears

* **Browse page** — For You section at the top of the companion listings

### Semantic Search

{% hint style="info" %}
Semantic search is the **default search mode** on the Browse page.
{% endhint %}

Find companions using natural language rather than exact keyword matches. Semantic search understands what you mean, not just what you type.

#### How to Search

1. **Open the Browse page**
2. **Type a description** in the search bar — describe a personality, appearance, or any combination
3. **View results** ranked by relevance to your description

#### Search Dimensions

You can search across different aspects of a companion:

* **Personality** — Find companions by traits, interests, or conversational style (e.g., "adventurous and witty" or "caring and supportive")
* **Appearance** — Search by physical characteristics (e.g., "blonde hair blue eyes" or "athletic build")
* **All dimensions** — Search across everything at once for the broadest results

### Similar Companions

{% hint style="info" %}
Similar Companions appears on individual **model profile** pages.
{% endhint %}

When you're viewing a companion's profile, the **Similar Companions** section shows you other companions that share traits with the one you're looking at.

#### How It Works

1. **Open any companion's profile page**
2. **Scroll to the Similar Companions section**
3. **Filter recommendations** by what matters to you:
   * **Personality** — Companions with a similar conversational style and traits
   * **Appearance** — Companions who look similar
   * **Auto-blended** — A balanced match across both personality and appearance

This is a great way to discover new companions you might not have found through search alone.

### Browse stories with Scenarios and Reels

For a ready-made story opening, choose **Scenarios** from the navigation. Filter by gender, style, content, and genre, open a story’s details, and select **Play**. **Reels** offers a vertical feed, and the homepage **Watch now** row is another way in. At the end, choose a reply or write your own to enter the chat. See [Scenarios & Reels](/get-started/scenarios-and-reels.md) for screenshots and a complete walkthrough.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How do For You recommendations work?**

* They're based on your engagement history — which companions you chat with, how often, and your overall taste profile. They improve over time.

**Q: Can I reset my recommendations?**

* You can hit **Refresh** at any time to get a new set. Recommendations also refresh automatically each day.

**Q: What's the difference between semantic search and regular search?**

* Regular search matches exact keywords. Semantic search understands meaning, so searching "someone fun to talk to about video games" will find relevant companions even if those exact words aren't in their description.

**Q: Do I need a subscription to use Browse features?**

* No. Browse, search, and discovery features are available to all users.
