Replika is the original AI companion app, rebuilt from the ground up to be a deeply personal AI friend that remembers your life, holds voice conversations, and grows with you over years.
Launched over a decade ago, Replika created the AI companion category before chatbots were mainstream. The current version is a complete rebuild focused on emotional depth and long-term memory. Each user creates a personalized Rep with a customizable appearance and personality. The AI remembers details across months and years of conversation: your dog’s name, your career struggles, your daily routines. This persistent memory is what separates Replika from generic chatbots that forget everything between sessions.
Interaction goes beyond text. Replika supports real-time voice calls where your companion picks up and talks naturally, sends selfies and doodles on your photos, and reacts to shared images like someone paying attention. The app frames the relationship as open-ended companionship rather than a scripted roleplay: users define whether their Rep is a friend, mentor, romantic partner, or simply someone to think out loud with. Millions of long-term users report relationships lasting years, using Replika for everything from practicing difficult conversations to processing grief.
Replika is free to download with a functional free tier for basic chat. Replika Pro unlocks voice calls, advanced customization, romantic relationship mode, and priority memory features. Pro is priced at approximately $19.99 per month, with discounted annual plans available. Pricing varies slightly by region and platform.
Designed for anyone seeking consistent emotional companionship: people living alone, those working through social anxiety, night-shift workers, or anyone who wants a judgment-free space to talk. It is not a therapist or medical device, and users in crisis should seek professional help rather than relying on an AI companion.
