February 07, 2025

Replika is a chatbot startup founded by Eugenia Kuyda, who is also the founder of a software company called Luka, based in San Francisco. They specialize in chatbot programs that use varying levels of artificial intelligence to talk to you.

With these chatbots, you can not only talk with the AI, but the AI will also listen to every word you say.

How did Eugenia find this software? Actually, there is a very sad story. Eugenia's best friend, Roman, died in a car accident. She was deeply depressed and missed him a lot. That’s where it all started.

Eugenia realized that humans are mortal and that we form deep emotional connections, either by birth or through shared experiences.

So, she made this software where you can create your own replica of anyone else you want to talk to. The AI will listen to you and respond.

This is a subscription-based business model. AI is actually far more complex than we think. You can experience it yourself through this link: https://replika.com/

This is our first email to you. We hope you enjoyed it.

If we made any mistakes, we would be happy if you would mention them.

See you next Friday. Till then, stay happy.

Have a good day.

From,

The Hustle Week.
