Free, no sign-up, no subscription: pick your AI friend
Looking for an AI companion like Replika, but free and with nothing to install? Pick one of our five AI friends above and start chatting right away, without creating an account. Sam, Lea, Nino, Ines and Odette each have their own personality: they listen, answer naturally and remember what you tell them during the conversation.
What is Replika?
Replika is an AI companion app launched in 2017 by the US company Luka. You create an avatar and chat with it on your phone or computer, like you would with a friend. There’s a free version, and a paid subscription, Replika Pro, unlocks extra features such as some relationship types.
Why look for a Replika alternative?
- Price: the most popular features come with a subscription.
- Account and app: you need to sign up and install the app to get the most out of it.
- Just trying it out: sometimes you simply want to talk to an AI for a few minutes, with no commitment.
What Yiaho’s AI friends offer
- Sam, the loyal friend: in his thirties, calm and funny, he really listens and gives you common-sense advice.
- Lea, the best friend: she always has a thousand things to tell you, and she knows how to listen.
- Nino, the geek buddy: tech questions, video games, TV shows, he knows it all.
- Ines, the calm friend: gentle and composed, she gives you time to say what’s on your mind.
- Odette, the AI grandma: full of common sense and stories, she welcomes you like family.
They are all free, with no sign-up and no app: they work in your browser, on a computer or a phone. For something more romantic, meet Yuna, our AI girlfriend, or Kai, our AI boyfriend, all ages.
Replika or Yiaho: what’s different
- Free: on Yiaho, there’s no subscription or paid feature to chat with these AI friends.
- No account: no email, no password, no app.
- Simpler: no animated avatar or voice calls, just a written conversation.
Limits worth knowing
These friends are AI characters: they always say so if you ask, and what they tell you about their lives is made up. They don’t replace real friends or a professional: if you’re going through a hard time, talk to someone you trust or contact a crisis line (988 in the US, Samaritans on 116 123 in the UK and Ireland).
