Replika

What is Replika?

Replika is an AI companion app made by Luka, Inc., a software company based in San Francisco. You create an account, set up a personal AI character, customize its avatar and talk with it by text or voice at any time. Chatting is free. Paid subscriptions add features: Pro unlocks relationship status, premium activities, selfies, image generation, voice messages, premium voices, background calls and daily gems. Ultra adds smarter conversations, emotional intelligence, self-reflections and saving memories. Platinum adds real-time video recognition, up to 100 uses of Training Mode each week, up to 50 messages per week of Read Replika's Mind and up to 10 realistic selfie videos. Prices are shown in the app and in the app store at the time you subscribe, not in the help center, and subscriptions are managed through the marketplace you bought them from. Replika's terms say it is not medical care or a mental health service.
