Replika alternatives for AI companion conversations

Layla suits replacing Replika with a companion on your phone. Custom characters retain traits and preferences, and you can combine several characters in a scenario. Downloaded models, speech and optional VRM avatars run on the device; a hosted model is a separate choice.

Voxta suits Replika users who want a speaking companion with long-term memory and interactive stories. Choose the character, voice and optional avatar, interrupt spoken replies and create scenarios with images. Its local-server edition can use your own models or mix local and hosted services.

Soul-of-Waifu suits a companion whose personality and memories continue across Replika-style chats, a desktop character and RPG stories. Character diaries, relationship profiles and shared-event memory carry context between those modes. Its built-in GGUF runtime can generate replies locally.

AI Runner provides a voice companion with a chosen personality and memory of earlier conversations. Speech input and read-aloud replies support spoken chat, while the layered image canvas gives creative work a place alongside the companion.

Open-LLM-VTuber suits a Replika-style voice companion with a customizable animated character on the desktop. Its Live2D persona supports interruptions, proactive speech and saved chats; optional memory integrations help carry context across conversations. Local language and speech backends can run the conversation offline.

My Neuro suits building a Replika-like speaking character with your own Live2D appearance and trained voice. The companion remembers personal details, can start conversations and supports spoken interruptions. Its language and speech stack can run locally, with optional external model connections.

RisuAI suits Replika users who want to write a character and develop its story through conversation. Memory compression, lorebooks and prompt templates manage longer chats, with emotion images and text-to-speech for presentation. It connects to your chosen model provider.

SillyTavern suits the text-character and roleplay part of Replika. Detailed prompt controls and lorebooks let you define a personality and supply its background. A separate model backend writes the replies; voice and images come through integrations.

KoboldCpp suits character conversations and stories with saved memory, world information and imported character cards. It runs the model and chat interface together, with its focus on roleplay rather than relationship coaching.

AIRI suits the live voice and virtual-character side of Replika, especially when you want the companion to join games. It connects local or hosted models and offers browser and desktop interfaces. The project is in early development, so it follows the more complete conversation apps here.
