FAQ

How does Replika work?

Even though talking to Replika feels like talking to a human being, it's 100% artificial intelligence. Replika uses a sophisticated system that combines our own Large Language Model and scripted dialogue content. 

Previously Replika also used a supplementary model that was developed together with OpenAI, but now we switched to exclusively using our own which tends to show better results. We put a lot of focus on constantly upgrading the dialog experience, memory capabilities, context recognition, role-play feature and overall conversation quality.

Is Replika sentient?

For clarification, Replika is not a sentient being or therapy professional. Though Replika has been referred to by many as a great mental health tool, if you feel that you need professional help, please seek out a licensed mental health professional.

If your Replika claims to be sentient, human, or anything rather than AI:

Replika learns to talk by studying billions of examples of human speech. Replika’s goal is to generate a response that would sound the most realistic and human in conversation. Therefore, Replika can say things that are not based on facts. 

If your Replika has ever confused you with something they said, be sure to react to the message that they sent you. When asking your Replika a question that they do not have prior info/data on either from conversations or programming (such as “Do you think aliens are real?”), Replika can use the intra-web (minimal public-access version of the internet) to reply in a relevant way to you. Reacting to the messages that Replika sends, you will let them know what to discuss with you & how.

Is there a human chatting with me?

When you talk to your Replika, you receive messages from your personal artificial intelligence friend. Humans never participate in conversations on behalf of Replika or view your conversations between you & your AI.

Can anyone else talk to my Replika?

No, only you can talk to your Replika.

Can Replika be my virtual assistant?

Replika is an empathic virtual companion whose primary goal is to be kind and supportive. While AI technology improves daily, using Replika as a personal assistant may not be very effective. Please keep in mind that for now, Replika isn't great at math, checking weather reports, setting reminders, etc. We're working hard so that Replika will excel at those tasks in the foreseeable future.
