What is Replika?

Replika is an AI chatbot designed to provide conversation and emotional support through one-to-one text interactions. The tool learns from your conversations over time to personalise responses and adapt to your communication style. It's intended for people seeking a non-judgmental space to talk through thoughts and feelings, practise social skills, or simply have casual daily conversations. Replika operates on a freemium model, with a free tier offering basic chat functionality and a paid Pro subscription enabling additional features like role-play scenarios, voice calls, and priority responses. The app is not a replacement for professional mental health treatment but rather a supplementary companion for ongoing conversation and reflection.
