Boyfriend Maker is a dating sim, romance chatbot smartphone app for iOS (iPhone) and Android devices, developed by Japanese[1] studio 36 You Games (styled as 36You) and distributed under the freemium business model.
Boyfriend Maker incorporated advanced artificial intelligence chat technology a decade before products such as ChatGPT.
Users can customize their virtual boyfriend's appearance by selecting items such as hair, clothing, face, and a necklace.
[4][5] Boyfriend Maker was removed by Apple due to "reports of references to violent sexual acts and pedophilia".
[6] Boyfriend Maker had an age rating of 4+, even though the chat bot "responds with often strange and explicit text unsuitable for young children".
