Melissa Blake

Writer & Analyst · PolyBuzz AI editorial team

Melissa Blake writes and edits the PolyBuzz AI coverage of AI character chat, roleplay, and AI companion apps. Her work aims to give adults clear, honest information before they sign up to any app.

What Melissa covers

Melissa focuses on the fast-moving AI companion space: AI character chat platforms, roleplay chatbots, voice and memory features, pricing and free tiers, and the privacy trade-offs that come with all of them. She wrote the main PolyBuzz AI guide and keeps it current as apps change their features and terms.

How she works

Every review starts hands-on. Melissa uses an app the way a paying subscriber would, working through the free tier first and paying for a plan when it matters, and she reads the privacy policy in full rather than the summary. Any claim about market size, safety, or popularity is traced to a named source before it reaches a reader. The full standards behind her work are set out in the Editorial Policy, and the wider team is listed on the Editorial Team page.

Independence
