Nora Kessler is a pen name. Writing under a legal name in this niche brings drawbacks that have nothing to do with the work, so we keep the two apart.
She covers the foundational articles on this site: how the technology behind an AI companion works, why moderation systems treat queer content differently from other content, and how to recognize a usable platform before you pay.
Her articles contain no invented user numbers and no made-up quotes. If something is unverified, the text says so. If a platform cannot do something, that is in the text too.
