Question: I need a tool that enables real-time conversations with AI companions, can you recommend one?

If you want a tool that lets you have a conversation with an AI companion in real time, Replika is a good option. This chatbot offers a personalized, empathetic companion experience through human-like conversations that get smarter the more you use it. It comes with chat, video chat and coaching tools to help you with anxiety and habit formation. Replika is available on iOS, Android and Oculus devices.

Another option is TalkTo, which offers free, personalized conversations with a range of 24/7 AI characters. Each AI personality has its own subject matter expertise and conversational style, which makes it good for creative projects, learning or just having a conversational friend. It's free, with no ads, and offers a privacy-first conversational interface.

If you want something more interactive, Cypher is a conversational AI platform that lets you create and interact with your own custom, realistic characters. The platform uses large language models to simulate human conversation, and you can customize it for things like coaching or socializing. It's available on iOS but an Android version is on the way, and it works with chat apps like Discord and Telegram.

Last, Claude is another AI assistant that's designed to converse naturally and intuitively. From developer Anthropic, Claude can be used in a variety of situations that require human-like interaction, and it offers a conversational interface that makes it easy to have natural dialogues with the AI.
