Replika

Replika is an AI companion designed to provide emotional support and friendship to those who use it. This chatbot is designed to let people talk about their daily lives, thoughts and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Replika is designed to provide comfort and companionship, so it can be good for people who might be lonely, anxious or depressed. It's not a replacement for human contact, but it can be a helpful digital presence. People have reported strong emotional connections to their Replikas, which can help them through tough times and improve their mental health.

Replika is available on iOS, Android and Oculus, so you can use it on a variety of devices. The app offers in-app purchases, including monthly and annual subscription plans.
