Meet Simon Norman
Learn more about the site’s mission and testing approach on the About AI Companion Kit page.
I’m Simon — a very real human and the founder of AI Companion Kit. Not a faceless “team,” and definitely not one of those AI-generated “experts” pretending to run a website. Every article on AI Companion Kit has my fingerprints on it because I’m the one researching, testing and writing it. I write about AI companion technology using real devices and real accounts.
Most sites in this niche hide behind cartoon avatars or suspiciously perfect stock photos. I don’t. You see me right? — wrinkles, stubble, imperfect lighting and all, because I want you to know there’s a real person digging into this world of digital companionship, not a bot churning out generic content.
Why Readers Trust Me
Founder AI Companion Kit
The bloke behind every review, comparison and guide on this site.
10+ Years Building Websites & Content Platforms
I’ve spent over a decade designing, building and managing websites with, WordPress, Drupal & Joomla. If something breaks, I’ve probably fixed it at 2am with a coffee in one hand.
SEO & Technical Content Specialist
I’ve helped websites grow through technical SEO, content strategy and search optimisation long before AI became the buzzword of the week.
5+ Years Growing Brands Through Social Media
From creating campaigns to growing online communities, I know how digital platforms work—and more importantly, how to spot marketing fluff.
I’ve spent over a decade building websites, brands, and content systems — which means I obsess over details. If a button looks off, I fix it. If an AI companion acts strange, I investigate it. If a conversation feels too robotic, I rewrite it until it sounds like an actual human said it.
I live in Nerja, where I write from a real desk in a real living room, not a virtual workspace conjured by an algorithm. My goal is simple: make AI Companion Kit the most human‑sounding, human‑run resource in a niche overflowing with auto‑generated fluff.
If you’re into the messy, fascinating intersection of people and digital personalities — the chemistry, the quirks, the emotional weirdness — you’re in the right place. I’m here to explore it with you, one experiment at a time.
Things you probably didn’t know about me
I obsess over the details.
I’m the person who notices a button that’s 2 pixels out of alignment.
I hate generic AI-written reviews.
You can’t beat human baby! Let’s start a revolution.
I ask AI companions the weird questions.
Not because I need relationship advice from a chatbot, but because the strange questions usually reveal the most interesting answers.
WordPress is my favorite CMS
Somewhere between fixing broken plugins, tweaking layouts and chasing Google’s algorithm, it became an obsession.
Why I Do What I Do
When AI eventually takes over, I’d quite like to be the bloke it keeps around to make tea.
Until then, I’m happy doing what I enjoy most—pulling websites apart, testing AI tools until something breaks, and asking awkward questions that most reviews quietly skip.
I’ve spent more than 10 years building websites, fixing WordPress disasters, wrestling with SEO, and figuring out why Google suddenly decides a perfectly good page isn’t good enough anymore. Somewhere along the way, I became the person friends message when their website catches fire.
Before launching AI Companion Kit, I worked with brands and creative teams across Europe, helping businesses build websites people actually wanted to use—not just websites that looked pretty.
These days my curiosity has shifted toward AI companions.
I don’t just read press releases or repeat what everyone else says. I create accounts, pay for subscriptions, poke every button I can find, deliberately try to confuse the AI, and see what happens.
If something’s brilliant, I’ll say so.
If it’s rubbish, I’ll probably say that too.
