My latest for @FortuneMagazine. The AI companionship market is growing fast. Downloads and revenue are up sharply, and new AI companion apps are launching at a rapid pace.

Our deepest social needs aren’t about having support available on demand — they’re about mattering to the people who matter to us. fortune.com/2026/05/23/lonel…
