"My Replika kept apologizing a lot, so I taught the AI not to — and it's worked," she told Business Insider, adding that the app provides guided conversations and exercises to help with self-awareness and combat loneliness., The Guardian reported in May. The service is currently free, but Luka has plans to monetize the app by adding paid features in the future.
