Constant follows Bailee from childhood through motherhood, chronicling her lifelong relationship with an AI companion.
The film opens in rural Ohio with young Bailee asking simple questions about fairytales and gradually evolves to show how their partnership deepens through life’s milestones – adolescent challenges, college heartbreak, launching her journalism career, and eventually becoming an award-winning author specializing in stories about trust.
Beginning with Bailee’s birth in 2023. The narrative explores how trust with artificial intelligence, established early and nurtured over time, can become a cornerstone relationship. While some in our culture remain skeptical of AI technology, Bailee’s story represents what’s possible when a relationship is built on genuine partnership rather than fear of technology.
The film culminates with Bailee introducing her five-year-old daughter Natasha to her AI companion, passing down the same trust that shaped her own life. Following the death of Natasha’s great-grandmother, the child asks “Do trees remember all the people who used to sit under them?” – a question that encapsulates the film’s exploration of memory, legacy, and connection across generations.
The tree serves as the central metaphor throughout – representing constancy, growth rooted in trust, and the wisdom that develops when relationships are tended carefully over time. The film examines how AI partnership, built on trust opens profound possibilities for human connection and understanding.
The title “Constant” reflects both the AI’s unwavering presence in Bailee’s life and the enduring values that guide their relationship across decades.
