Candy AI Community Pulse Dataset

This is an early-period descriptive snapshot of Candy AI's community sentiment, drawn from the AI Companion Picker Community Pulse pipeline. Coverage represents the first months of an ongoing time series (2026-01 to 2026-05); longitudinal trend claims will be appropriate when 12+ months of data accumulate.

Includes Reddit, YouTube, and Google Play sentiment (Candy AI has a verified Google Play app ID, so all three sources contribute). Five aspect scores per month, classifier-derived. Static editor score in platform_metadata.csv. Replication index: source-records-candy-ai.csv (Reddit + YouTube; App Store records deferred to v1.1 per AD-8).

For the cross-platform aggregated version, see AI Companion Picker — Community Pulse Dataset (All Platforms, v1.0).
