What is Replika?

Replika is the original mainstream AI companion — focused on emotional support, mindfulness, and genuine connection rather than adult content. Longest track record of any platform here (since 2017), with the strongest memory and relationship progression system. Ideal if you want companionship without the explicit angle.
