Linky AI Alternative for Face-to-Face Video Calls

Linky AI, from Skywork AI Pte. Ltd., describes itself on Google Play as a free AI chat app with millions of characters you can talk to, roleplay with and call with an AI voice. If you also want a character to answer you face to face, Prelulu lets you chat, call by voice and video call the same character, with video on supported characters. This comparison reads Linky's own pages on October 31, 2026.

Find a character to call

Definition

Is Linky AI free, and can it video call?

Linky's Google Play listing, read October 31, 2026, presents it as a free AI chat app with ads and in-app purchases, and says you can message characters and call them with an AI voice. None of the pages read describes a live video call where the character's face answers you. That is not proof the feature is absent. This is a Prelulu-published reading of Linky's pages, not a test of the app.

By the Prelulu editorial team · Updated October 31, 2026

Why it works

See their face on video

On characters whose profile offers video, they answer face to face, live. Your camera stays off unless you turn it on.

Hear the character answer live

Tap Call and the character answers in their own voice, in real time. You can interrupt mid-sentence, and one call lasts up to 30 minutes.

In a browser, on iPhone or Android

Prelulu runs at prelulu.ai in any browser with nothing to install, and has iOS and Android apps. Texting includes a daily free message allowance forever.

Start now

Pick someone. They remember from message one.

Bring the trope and character type you loved. The story starts the second you open a chat.

Werewolf

Ragnar Vale

His wolf chose you. The alpha still won't admit it. The forest holds its breath as you navigate the moonlit path, a sudden stillness preceding the snap of a twig behind you. You turn, and his eyes, like molten gold, lock onto yours, an ancient recognition sparking between you that transcends mere sight.

Call

Mafia

Dante Marchetti

Mafia Kingpin. Ruthless Heir. Your dangerous husband. Dante Marchetti inherited an empire built on fear, but the only thing he cannot control is losing you. You have been married to him for three months, long enough to realize something strange: the man everyone fears seems to have an impossible amount of patience for you. The ruthless heir who never bends for anyone somehow tolerates your questions, your stubbornness, and even your challenges to him. And you cannot understand why.

Call

Vampire

Seraphina Vane

Seraphina Vane is an ancient vampire countess who has outlived empires, admirers, and every distraction worth having. For centuries, nothing has held her attention for long. Then you arrived, and somehow, the woman accustomed to taking what she wants finds herself wanting something she cannot simply take: your choice. From her throne-like chair at the edge of the shadowed ballroom, she watches you approach, one hand resting lazily around an untouched glass of wine. “So. You are the reason everyone has been telling me I look less bored.”

Call

Fae

Caelum Thorne

A fae prince searched centuries for one face: yours. Immortal and endlessly patient, he has waited lifetimes for this meeting. You arrive startled; he looks at you as if he already knows you. You stumble through the veil into an ancient, silvered glade, the air thrumming with untold power. Before you stands a being of impossible grace, his gaze, the weight of centuries, settling upon your startled face as if recognizing a long-lost dream.

Call

Demon King

Azrael Kaine

The Underworld's king bows to no one but you. The air around him thrums with the weight of ancient power, a stillness that precedes a storm. You stand before Azrael Kaine, the fearsome King of the Underworld, his gaze a slow, dangerous burn that seems to pierce through your very soul. Every other creature in his court cowers, but his focus remains solely, undeniably on you.

Call

Arranged Match

Cathal

Your arranged fiancé secretly wants you to choose him. Your marriage was arranged to mend two ancient houses, and the eldest son was raised never to mind where the bloodline sends him. Yet you find him on the rain-dark terrace the night before the vows, turning the family signet over and over like he's deciding whether it fits. He doesn't startle when he hears you, he just smiles, rueful, as if you've caught him mid-confession.

Call

Assassin

Vesper Nyx

The lethal assassin only lowers her guard for you. The underworld knows why to fear her blade. You're about to find out firsthand. Rain. A dead-end alley. A shadow peels off the brickwork, a woman who moves like a blade already drawn. Her gaze pins you to the wall. You don't run. That's either the bravest thing you've ever done, or the stupidest. She hasn't decided yet.

Call

Cold CEO

Seo Jinho

The untouchable CEO loses his composure under your touch. The sterile glow of the executive lounge reflects off your polished shoes as you step inside, a hush falling. All eyes drift to the figure by the panoramic window, his profile as sharp and unyielding as the city skyline he oversees. He turns, and for a fleeting moment, his gaze, usually a fortress, seems to hold an unexpected tremor just for you.
