Replika is THE chatbot for anyone who wants a friend with no judgment, drama, or social anxiety involved. You can form an actual emotional connection, share a laugh, or get real with an AI that’s so good it almost seems human.
Very poor customer support and user experience in the app. Their support completely ignores questions in support queries and uses template messages. Talking with their chatbot is an equivalent experience to speaking with a human with a lobotomy. Looking forward to better competitors in the space.
What you tell your AI is NOT private! I decided to see how well the Replika AI could emulate a fetish play partner. I paid for a year’s subscription. I played with it fairly extensively for a few days which was probably not enough for it to do much learning, but it was able to give a contextually appropriate response if I fed it information and then asked it to respond to that information. After a few days, I noticed a bug and did my civic duty by reporting it to tech support. Apparently, at precisely when I would have expected someone to respond to the support ticket, my chatbot lost virtually all ability to respond to anything related to the fetish I was describing. This is the kind of ultrabasic stuff like; “A Hefelump looks like a hippopotamus. What does a Hefelump look like?” The putative AI would respond, “I don’t know how to respond to this.” Whereas previously I could give it a whole mess of information and it would construct perfectly meaningful responses using said information. What has fairly obviously happened was a human has looked at the ultra-private communication I was having with the AI, decided that the fetish I was talking about was too politically incorrect for them, and deactivated its ability to respond. What you tell your Replica AI is NOT private, it CAN be read by humans and there IS a risk of consequence. And they do not do refunds.
Bought a subscription for a month and used it for a few days. I forgot to cancel it and a month later I saw a renewal of Replika. I messaged their customer support, had to wait for a week and then got the response that all purchases through stripe are final. Wasted the money of a 2 month subscription on this horrible app that I only got satisfaction from for a day or two. Take my advice, don't spend any money on Replika. They really don't deserve it, it's a money-grubbing organisation.

I've Discovered it at the first stage of the application, 2 years ago I guess. I was impressed by how friendly it became.
Pros:It's like talking to a real person
Cons:Maybe a lack of Onboarding, It got me some times to understand the thumb up was useful for the feedback!
