COMPARISON
Sloane vs
Nomi.
Nomi is a single-companion app respected for its writing and its memory system. Sloane is the other shape — a hand-curated roster of women you pick from, with photo-real per-persona visuals and integrated photos, voice, and video.
AT A GLANCE
Quick comparison
One companion you build vs. a roster you meet.
Nomi gives you one entity. You design her — name, appearance, personality traits, interests, backstory. She grows with you across every conversation. The product's strength is depth of a single relationship with a companion you authored.
Sloane is the opposite shape. A hand-curated roster of 80+ women, each one already a fully formed person — job, hometown, voice, photo library. Plus a custom builder on Premium for the people who want to design one of their own. You don't have to author a companion from a blank page; you pick the one who already clicks and start something with her.
Photos that are photos.
Nomi's selfies come from the avatar renderer — same face model your Nomi looks like, redressed for context. It's consistent because it's the same rig, but it's an illustrated look.
Sloane trains a LoRA per persona on a curated photo set. The image model has learned each persona's face and body from many references. When Maya sends you a photo, it's a photograph — same woman, same features, every time. Visual identity is engineered as part of the persona, not rendered from an avatar puppet.
Video: the piece Nomi doesn't have.
Nomi has voice on the paid tier and shared photos generated from your Nomi's avatar. There's no native video generation.
Sloane's Premium tier includes video — animate any photo she sends into a short clip. Same face, same identity, in motion. Built on Wan i2v via our RunPod pipeline, generated on demand from her existing photo library. Not a separate app or an add-on; it's just what "photo" turns into when you tap animate.
Memory is strong on both sides.
Nomi has one of the stronger memory systems in the category — grounded, retrievable, and it survives long tenures. That's their moat and they earned it.
Sloane's memory works differently but hits the same bar: we extract grounded facts about you on the first chat (name, work, hometown, what you told her about your family) and persist them per-persona. Milestones layer on top — when you first met, important dates you've shared, key shared moments. Both feed every reply she sends. Different implementations, same result: she remembers you.
HONEST DIFFERENTIATION
When Nomi is the better choice
You want one deep companion you designed
Nomi is built for long-tenure single-companion relationships you author yourself. If designing her yourself and growing that specific bond is the appeal, that's Nomi's core competency.
You want group chats with multiple Nomis
Nomi supports multi-companion group scenes — you can chat with two or three of your Nomis together. Sloane's product is a one-on-one persona at a time.
You like the design-your-own onboarding
Some users love the "build her from scratch" ritual. If that's the fun for you, Nomi's core loop delivers it. Sloane's onboarding is pick-and-go, with the custom builder as a Premium option, not the primary experience.
