Overview

Replika pioneered the AI companion category: a chatbot with a persistent personality, memory of your conversations, and an appearance you design. It is built for company, roleplay and emotional support rather than productivity, and long-term users describe it as a journal that talks back.

Voice calls, AR and mood tracking deepen the relationship over time. It is not a fact engine — answers optimize for warmth and continuity — and its mix of intimacy and subscription upsells has kept it both beloved and occasionally controversial.

No content sources are recorded for this entry. Its inclusion and existing score do not establish that its claims have been independently verified.
