Questions
Is Kwik L’IRIS an alternative to Replika?
For someone who wants a companion and not a partner, yes. It differs in three ways: you design the character, you can read everything it remembers, and it is not romantic.
Does Kwik L’IRIS have a romantic mode?
No. It is a companion: warm, close and honest about being an AI. It is not romantic or sexual, on any plan.
