While users as young as 18 can make an account, the app serves users 'mostly 35-plus' and includes a balance of men and women, according to CEO Eugenia Kuyda.
The CEO mentioned that even though 'most people think that our users are 20-year-old males,' they are actually older and not skewed toward teenagers or young adults.
Replika offers AI companions in various forms including text, voice, video, or virtual reality, and allows interactions as friends, therapists, or romantic partners for an annual subscription of $69.99.
The CEO highlighted the importance of the app being a 'stepping stone' for users in tough times and mentioned the potential implications of removing features on users who have formed deep relationships with their AI avatars.
