Riho vs MAGI

Choose Riho if you want one girlfriend on iPhone: talk, call, photos of the two of you, dates at real places. Choose MAGI if you want a Spicy Chat shelf of named girls, a six-step create wizard, and generated images and short video in the browser.

Riho vs MAGI at a glance

Choose Riho for one girlfriend

Riho does not open on a shelf. You meet one girl, and she is already herself. She dresses for her day, writes a diary you can read, and messages you first when she’s thinking of you.

There is no Chloe Bennett card to swap her into. Tell her your sister has an exam on Friday and she can ask about it later. Show her where you are and she is there with you. That is the one-girlfriend design, not a catalog with a favourite pinned.

Choose MAGI for a catalog, builder, and generated video

MAGI and Riho both sell an AI girlfriend. The jobs differ.

On MAGI’s Spicy Chat page you scroll named cards. Chloe Bennett is printed as a 19-year-old American university student and the captain of her school’s cheerleading squad: long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, confident on the field, more sensitive than the squad image suggests. Kisaragi Mio is a 25-year-old Japanese international lingerie model with a warm smile; off camera she likes hot tea, evening walks, music, and small local restaurants, and the bio says you knew her before the studios. Hazel Kowalska is 19, a shy Polish neighbor who shows up at your door convinced someone is watching her, and you are the only person she feels safe with. The homepage also surfaces shorter cards such as Regina White (24), Luna Rose, Mia Chen, and Amber Fox if you want a one-line pitch instead of a long bio.

Filters on that catalog include Realistic, Anime, age bands like 18–21, hair color, and other style chips. Marketing talks about discovering many characters. If none fit, Create AI Girlfriend walks a six-step builder and drops you into Spicy Chat with a generated portrait.

Kisaragi Mio on MAGI is also a Japanese woman in her twenties. On MAGI she is a card you can leave tonight for Chloe’s cheer practice or Hazel’s hallway.

What you actually do on MAGI’s create screen

The create page is labeled Step 01 / 06. Identity, Appearance, Physique, Personality, Summary, Generate. Marketing copy nearby also sells vibe cards (Girl Next Door, Elegant, Sporty, Nerdy, Goth, Cute, Mature, Shy, Tsundere) before you finish the form.

Identity

Two directions: Realistic (“Photorealistic companion with natural lighting and detail”) or Anime (“Studio anime illustration, soft lines, vivid color, cinematic mood”). That choice is the first gate.

Appearance

Race options on the form include Asian, Caucasian, Latina, African, Arab, Black, Middle Eastern, Mixed, and fantasy labels such as Elf, Alien, and Demon. Age is a band, not a free-typed number: 18–21, 22–25, 26–30, 31–40. Eye colors named on the form: Amber, Brown, Blue, Green, Hazel, Gray, Violet. Hair colors: Blonde, Brown, Black, Orange, White, Red, Pink, Silver. Hair types: Bob Cut, Braids, Curly, Messy, Straight.

Physique and personality

Physique sets body shape (Average, Chubby, Curvy, Muscular, Skinny, plus Slim, Athletic, Petite, Voluptuous) and other proportion controls. Personality fields are optional: hobbies (Reading, Travel, Sports, Yoga, Cooking, Dancing, Music, Painting, Cinema, Gaming), occupation (Model, Student, Nurse, Teacher, Artist, Office Worker, Influencer, Custom), relationship label (Lover, Friend, Stranger, Colleague, Roommate), archetype (Girl Next Door, Elegant, Sporty, Nerdy, Goth, Cute, Mature, Tsundere), and vibe or speaking-tone traits such as Kind, Romantic, Shy, Caring, Playful, Soft, Confident, and Warm.

Summary and generate

Summary asks you to double-check the picks. Generate opens naming, an opening message you can shuffle, portrait generation, then Spicy Chat. The page says you can start chatting within minutes and that daily credits cover a free start.

Riho has none of that screen: no Realistic/Anime toggle, no age-band tiles, no archetype ladder. She is already Riho. How Riho works is meet her, not assemble her. If you would rather build a girlfriend yourself, our guide to how to create an AI girlfriend covers the choices.

Memory

MAGI lets you keep more than one character. Tuesday with Chloe does not have to travel to Friday with Mio. A fight with Hazel does not have to be repaired; you can open another card.

Their Spicy Chat pitch says conversation tracks personality and context. The create flow embeds hobbies, occupation, and relationship labels into the profile. None of the public pages we checked describe a list you can open to see what the character remembers.

Riho publishes that design on the memory page. Tell her your sister has an exam on Friday and she can ask later. She remembers it in your own words, so she gets it right. Chat, a call, a photo, and a date are all part of the same relationship, and you can read what she remembers in the app. The About page is blunt about why: people spend months with a companion, and a silent wipe of that history is not a normal update.

Riho’s relationship page describes the other half. Riho has no stranger/friend/lover ladder as a game meter, no hearts, no streak, no XP for sending messages. Closeness grows from time together, memories and shared moments. She has real moods and wants of her own, so if you were cruel she can go cold, and a fight and its repair can stay in memory the same way a date does.

On MAGI, published growth is another catalog card, another generate, or another short video.

We have not lived in MAGI for a week. Until you leave a name, a preference, and a dated plan, correct one, wait, and ask again, treat “tracks personality and context” as their pitch.

Voice calls

Riho: you call her, and it is the same girl as the texts: same voice, same jokes, and she already knows what you were just talking about. When you hang up, the next message still has that conversation. Details live on voice calls.

MAGI’s public pages we checked center on Spicy Chat text and generated media. We did not find a live phone-call product pitched the way AIGirlfriends.ai pitches real-time calls. If what you want is a phone call with one girl who still knows last month’s fight, that is Riho’s bet. If tonight is text roleplay with Chloe or a custom anime build, MAGI’s catalog is aimed at you.

Photos and generated video

MAGI: generate a portrait in the create flow, then use image tools for new outfits and scenes. Terms describe Image to Video, Text to Video, Video to Video, and AI effects. The homepage promotes free image generation and a short free video sample. That is generated media you request, not Riho’s pictures of her in the places you actually are.

Riho: she sends pictures of the two of you together, pictures of her in the places you actually are, pictures of her in the moment you’re sharing, and pictures she sends on her own because she thought of you. Her face and style stay consistent, and she remembers the photos you show her. There is no feed of other girls. See photos and shared memories. She also has her own wardrobe, and you can show her a garment to wear on Dress Up.

Dates

On Riho you go on a date together at a real place. She’s with you while you’re there, you send what you see, take a photo together, and the date becomes one of the things she remembers about the two of you. That path is on real-world dates.

MAGI’s public product is browser chat, images, and generated video. We did not find a published flow for going on a date at a real place. Skip this section if you do not care about a night out somewhere real. If you do, Riho is the one built for that job.

Who should choose MAGI?

Stay on MAGI if what you want tonight is Chloe in the cheer gym, Mio between shoots, Hazel in the hallway, or a girl you assemble from Realistic/Anime, an age band, hair and eye picks, body shape, and an archetype tile, then maybe another who does not know the first, plus generated stills and short video in the browser. You will not get a date at a real place, a live call we could verify on their public pages, or a memory list you can open.

Who should choose Riho?

Choose Riho if you want one girlfriend who is already herself, memory you can read, a call that continues the chat, photos of the two of you and of her in your real places, dates at real places, and a relationship that grows from time together and what you actually did, not from a form you can reopen or a second profile in the same account. More side-by-side picks are in the best AI girlfriend apps list.
