Luka Inc.

Founded in 2015 by Eugenia Kuyda, Luka, Inc. is a technology company focused on applying artificial intelligence to enhance human-to-machine conversations. The company's flagship product is Replika, an AI companion chatbot designed to learn and mimic a user's personality through conversation, providing a space for emotional connection, conversation, and self-reflection. Initially starting as a chatbot for restaurant recommendations, the company pivoted to its current mission after its founder created a digital memorial of her late friend, Roman Mazurenko, using his past text messages, which laid the foundation for Replika's technology.
