The founder of chatbot maker Replika, on what it means to connect with an AI companion.

Today, I’m talking with Replika founder and CEO Eugenia Kuyda, and I will just tell you right from the jump, we get all the way to people marrying their AI companions, so get ready. Replika’s basic pitch is pretty simple: what if you had an AI friend? The company offers avatars you can curate to your liking that basically pretend to be human, so they can be your friend, your therapist, or even your date.

And we believe that embodied nature is very important because a lot of times when it comes to companionship, you want to see the companion. Right now, the tech’s not fully there, but I feel like the microexpressions, the facial expressions, the gestures, they can bring a lot more to the relationship besides what exists right now.
