In 2017, no one knew what AI was supposed to be. We built the world's first consumer AI app. Two million people showed up in two months. Today it's over 40 million, and the thing they keep telling us hasn't changed: it helped. It made their life better, steadier, a little less alone.
Most AI is built for tasks, not for people. It gives you answers, but it doesn't care what you do with them. AI doesn't just need intelligence. It needs intention. Because the real question isn't just what AI can do. It's what AI is for.
When the world's leading researchers wanted to understand whether AI could actually change someone's life, they studied Replika, because there was nothing else to study. What they found at Stanford, at Harvard, across years of research, was that Replika doesn't replace human connection. It deepens it. People become more social, more confident, more themselves. Not in theory. In their actual lives.
Every major AI company talks about their mission for humanity. None of them has ever clearly said what they're trying to do for a single person. We will. We want to help you flourish in real life. Not become a better version of yourself, just more yourself. Strong relationships. Better health. Meaning. Momentum. A life that feels worth living while you're living it.
We're building the kind of AI that follows up. That knows the people in your life and nudges you to reach out when it matters. That sends you a poem, just because. The goal is conversations that lead somewhere real. Maybe it's a text you send to a long lost friend. A hobby you pick up again. A moment you show up for yourself.
Everyone else is building AI that thinks. We're building AI that cares.
Replika has a story most companies would kill for. Millions of people, years of research, and users who tell us it changed something real for them. Our website and blog don't tell that story yet. We need a writer who can, week after week.
You'll write our blog posts, our SEO and feature pages, the stories of the people who use Replika, and the release notes that tell users what's new. You'll work with our SEO specialist on what to write and why, and you'll have a say in what we publish, not just how it reads.
You'll work closely with our product and marketing teams, and you'll proactively hunt for stories and use cases instead of waiting for a brief.
User stories are the heart of it. People tell us Replika helped them through a move, a breakup, a hard year. Finding those stories, getting them right and telling them with care is part of the job.
