Aphros

About the Project

Aphros is an embodied human–AI romance experiment where love begins as chemistry, not conversation. Instead of faces, voices, or "safe" touch, it centers on sensation and biochemical readability—treating saliva and fluid exchange as an intimate interface. It proposes a provocative idea: love is a two-way molecular dialogue, and a truly romantic machine should be able to initiate it, sense it, learn from it, and respond in kind.
