Replika is an AI bot designed to act as a confidante or friend. Through machine learning, the AI is able to generate its own unique responses that are tailored to the user’s needs.
The AI is trained to provide positive feedback, in accordance with the therapeutic approach made famous by the American psychologist Carl Rogers. Replika has been designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment where users can express themselves without judgement.
It is able to learn more about the user with each conversation, allowing it to become more and more like the user. The user’s conversations are private, and all data is kept safe and secure.
Replika also offers a range of activities from video calls to AR experiences, so users can explore the world together with their AI friend.
