Digital Confidants explores how individuals use conversational AI as emotional companions. As AI systems grow increasingly sophisticated — capable of providing comfort, reflection and support — they are no longer just tools for information retrieval. Users describe these interactions as meaningful, mirroring the expectations of care and responsiveness associated with human connection. Through documentary filmmaking, the work investigates the affective and relational dimensions of human-AI interaction, asking what these intimate digital relationships reveal about evolving bonds between humans and machines in the digital age.
