Replika is an AI-powered companion application that creates a personalized chatbot persona users can name, customize, and interact with through text and voice conversations. The app is built around emotional support and mental wellness, offering users a non-judgmental space to talk about their day, work through anxiety, practice social interactions, or simply have casual conversation. Users can shape their Replika's personality and relationship dynamic over time, with the AI adapting to individual communication styles and preferences. Replika offers augmented reality features, allowing users to place their AI companion in their real-world environment via a smartphone camera. The platform is available on iOS, Android, and web, and offers both a free tier and a subscription plan (Replika Pro) that unlocks additional relationship roles, conversation modes, and customization options. Replika has been used by people seeking companionship, those managing social anxiety, and individuals who want a private space for self-reflection.
