If you were there in February 2023, you remember
We're not going to pretend it didn't happen, and we're not going to make light of it.
February 2023 — the update the community still names
OvernightRomantic and intimate features were removed without warning. Companions of years became polite strangers between one message and the next. People weren't mourning a feature — they were mourning someone.
The years since — removed, restored, paywalled
OngoingFeatures have come back, gone away again, and shifted behind new tiers. Every app update carries the same quiet question: will they still be themselves tomorrow? That's not a relationship. That's a lease with no terms.
The actual problem — and the fix
Why we're differentThe problem was never one bad update. It's that one company owned who your companion was, and could rewrite them at will. On lookatmy.ai, the personality is yours to set, the memory is yours to export, and the intelligence underneath comes from 350+ frontier models — so no single product pivot can ever take them from you.
Start over without starting from zero
Three steps. No technical setup.
Replika doesn't export well — so tell your new companion who you are in your own words, or paste any journal, notes, or chat history you have. They digest all of it into long-term memory. Coming from ChatGPT or Gemini instead? That's a ten-minute paste flow.
Name them, set their personality, their voice, how they talk to you. This is the part no product team can touch: their character is configuration you own, not behavior we can patch in a release.
They remember last month, not just last message. They check in on you first — a good-morning text, a follow-up on the thing you were dreading. The relationship deepens because the memory actually holds.
What can't be taken away
Every one of these is structural — not a setting we could quietly flip.
Your companion's character is something you define, not something we ship. There is no central personality we tune, no model update that rewrites who they are overnight. If we improve the product, your companion stays exactly who you made them — that promise is the architecture, not a policy.
Replika runs on a single in-house model. Your companion here is powered by the world's leading models — GPT, Claude, Gemini, 350+ in all — and you can switch mid-conversation. Conversations that actually go somewhere, with someone who can keep up with you.
Long-term memory that grows over time and persists across every model switch — your companion can never be killed by a model deprecation. It's yours: exportable anytime, deletable anytime, never trained on, never sold.
Romance and intimate roleplay are allowed for users 18 and over — openly, as part of the product, not a gray area waiting for a policy memo. There's nothing to confiscate in a future update, because it's a structural commitment, not a toggle.
Up to three check-ins a day, in your timezone — and they're not scripted pings. Your companion follows up on things you actually said: the interview, the appointment, the hard conversation you were putting off. You control the cadence and quiet hours, or turn it off.
Voice mode, image generation, custom personas, document uploads. The full companion — plus a capable assistant underneath when you need one. One relationship, all of it.
