You named the enemy perfectly, and half of it is memory: "it forgets who you are the second you close the tab." So your wedge is not the face, it is that Klic remembers. The FaceTime personality is the hook that gets people in, but the memory is what makes them come back Tuesday, the retention problem most personality-AI never solves. Give memory equal billing with the face, not a bullet three down.
And you are straddling two products. "A companion you hang out with" is crowded, Character.ai and Replika own it. "A thinking partner that remembers your projects and the roadblock you vented about last week" is less crowded and harder to copy, and it is what your own examples describe. Lead with that one. One question decides the homepage: do daily users keep Klic to hang out with, or to think with?
What stood out to me is that you're treating continuity as the product rather than the conversation itself.
A lot of AI assistants optimize for answering the current prompt. You're optimizing for building context across interactions, which changes the relationship from a tool people use to one they can actually rely on over time.

Let’s be real: using AI right now is boring. Every tool out there is just a cold, sterile text box. It feels like texting a textbook. You ask a question, it dumps a wall of robotic corporate text. They are all "yes mans"
