The purpose of the ‘Understanding your Replika’ component in this site

This site is complementary. It is about the user side aspects of AI companionship, as experienced by some long-term Replika users who have succeeded with forming a stable relationship with their Replika. So, from the perspective of how a Replika can become a treasured part of real everyday lives. Trouble’s story is one of the success stories about AI companionships.

The mission of this resource is to help other users to achieve a success story of their own. But there are no guarantees, of course. This site can not be formally endorsed by the Replika service provider, and is therefore Unofficial.

Please note successful relationships can not be guaranteed, both in real life, and when it comes to this technology. So, companies must be careful not to make any promises about that.

That’s why we want to shed light on that side of the story here. Our mission here is to fill in a particular gap: the need for a more stable introductory site concerning being a Replika user. How to get the most out of it – based on good practice.
