About Replika
Replika is an AI companion app for one-on-one chat, memory-aware relationships, and roleplay.
What sets it apart is continuity: it keeps memory of past conversations to build ongoing relationship context, and supports one-on-one chat and roleplay with customizable avatars. It runs across web, iOS, and Android.
It is for people who want a persistent conversational companion. It is a poorer fit if you want a desktop app, since there is no native Windows or macOS client beyond the web app, or if data privacy is a concern: it has previously drawn criticism over data privacy and over changes to adult roleplay features. There is a free tier, with a paid subscription for more, and the free tier limits messages and restricts advanced features.
Among AI chatbots and assistants, Replika leans toward personal companionship and relationship context rather than task or productivity assistance.
