About TrueCompanion
TrueCompanion makes interactive sex dolls and robots, most notably its flagship product Roxxxy, which it unveiled at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas in 2010. The company, founded by former AT&T Bell Labs AI engineer Douglas Hines, pitches its products as life partners or companions for intimate use, featuring voice recognition, speech synthesis, and five customizable personality profiles with names like Wild Wendy and Mature Martha.
Roxxxy generated significant buzz at launch, with the company claiming around 4,000 pre-orders and a price tag of $7,000 to $9,000 plus subscription fees. However, as we’ve noted in our coverage of the realities of the sex robot market, verified commercial sales have been difficult to confirm. The company also announced a male variant called Rocky, though the product line’s actual delivery record remains murky. TrueCompanion sits in that strange territory where the hype around AI companions often outpaces what’s actually shipping to customers. Zero confirmed deliveries were ever made, to our knowledge.
