Pick Maia if you and your partner want one shared AI in the same thread. Pick Adoree if each of you needs a private place to say the real thing before anyone connects the dots. Adoree is $9.99/month after a free 3-day trial. Maia is a subscription AI coach and does not publish a price on its site.
Maia launched out of Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch, founded by Claire Wiley and Ralph Ma. The product on ourmaia.com is a couples app you chat with by voice or text: daily check-ins, advice drawn from those conversations, quizzes, games, and date ideas. The pitch is a shared third voice for the two of you.
That shared thread is the point, and it is also the limit. When both partners are in the same conversation, people edit themselves. The thing you would say at 11pm, alone, often never gets said if your partner is already in the chat. Maia's own marketing leans into listening in on a fight together. Useful when you want a referee in the room. Thin when one of you cannot be honest with an audience.
Adoree is an AI relationship assistant. Each partner talks to it separately, by voice or by text, in the same session if they want. Partners do not read each other's sessions without explicit consent. Adoree then gives each person clear feedback and a next step, informed by both sides, without crowning a winner. You can start alone. A partner is not required to sign up.
When the issue is clinical, or when someone is not safe, a licensed clinician is the right next call. For the same fight on repeat, the question is whether you want one shared chat or two private ones.
