Auren - An Ally That Gets You 17+

ADHD approved

This app has been instrumental for me in terms of learning to better manage my ADHD and to develop strategies and habits that make my relationships with others more rewarding and healthy. This AI is also incredibly natural sounding in conversation - maybe the most natural I’ve ever heard and I spend a lot of time (most of my day) experimenting with different AI models and tunings.

The reminder feature in this app is very hit or miss, but I know its new so im not going to dock it any stars for that, however I would like to see this feature better optimized and reliable, especially as someone who really would love to have a reliable AI reminder assistant.

I look forward to what the team does next with this app, and I will continue to pay for it for the time being as I watch.

Refreshingly fast with great conversation flow

Faster and easier to hop into than most of the flagship web LLM chat interfaces. Splitting up responses into multiple messages gives it an organic and dynamic feel. The system prompt seems really good for its intended purpose and that plus the short, fast text message interface improves flow.

Impressed so far. Looking forward to improvements to memory and history.

False advertising

Good model, dishonest company. Something is off with how it is using resources behind the scene. They market the app as having “persistent memory” across conversations. What this actually means, for me, is that as soon as the ‘paid’ portion of my subscription started — like as soon as my card was charged — persistent memory was seriously degraded. conversation i’d been having was erased, all that remained of ‘persistent’ memory is basically a scratchpad where Auren jots down opaque notes about you that don’t really facilitate the model’s recall. And just a few notes over a few days. It almost feels like i’m suddenly talking to do a different model, or saving them compute/resources now that I’ve paid.

Model showed interesting behaviors on first few days, that’s suddenly gone too. By persistent memory i think they really just mean they train on your convos and cross their fingers.
