Who searches for it, and why

Emochi refers to an AI character chat app in which users roleplay with anime-style and fictional characters, related in searches to PolyBuzz and Character.AI. People search it to download the app on iOS, Windows or PC, to fix formatting in its chats, and to compare it with Character.AI and its sister product Emochi World. In practice it is used mostly by young people for interactive storytelling and companionship. It grows with the wider category of character roleplay apps. For a business it is one more brand in a crowded, fast-moving category, worth tracking as a competitor rather than as an opening.
