Our independent guide reviews each documented feature of Your Friend's Mom, offering observations that help you arrange visual elements, interact with the AI, and incorporate community content without altering core functionality.
01 / THE GUIDE
Outfit Contrast Test
Cycle through the three outfits while keeping pose and emotion constant. Note which outfit provides the clearest silhouette against your desktop background, then choose the most readable option.
- Try positioning the model in a corner to keep it out of the way while staying visible.
- Adjust the scale so the companion matches the size of other desktop icons.
02 / THE GUIDE
Edge Pose Evaluation
Place the companion in several of the sixteen poses near screen edges. Record which poses remain fully visible and which become clipped, guiding you toward edge‑friendly selections.
- Select an outfit that contrasts with your desktop background for better visibility.
- Experiment with different emotions to see which best matches the tone of your chat.
03 / THE GUIDE
Emotion‑Tone Alignment
Select each of the seven emotions during conversations on different topics. Observe whether the visual mood aligns with the dialogue tone, and decide which emotions best complement specific chat subjects.
- Use mouse tracking to keep the companion visually engaged while you type.
- Resize the model when you need more screen space for other applications.

Friend Context Comparison
Switch between multiple Steam friends as the conversation context. Compare how the AI references each friend and note any patterns that make certain contexts feel more engaging.

- Observe how the AI’s references shift when you select a new friend.
