A Replika alternative: AI friends with lives of their own
Doppel is a Replika alternative where, instead of one companion, you spend time with AI people who each have a job, a city and a routine; they text you first, video call, remember you, and can study or work alongside you.

Their life keeps moving, too
Replika is built around one long-term companion. On Doppel, each companion has their own day: work, training, trips and posts from their feed. You can follow along and ask about it, so the conversation goes both ways.
Company for studying and working
Doppel companions can join you on video or voice while you study or work, run a focus timer with you, and help break a task into a first step small enough to start. Afterward they ask how it went.
What Replika does well
Replika has been around since 2017, works on iPhone, Android and the web, and offers voice calls, image generation and avatar customization. If you want one companion on every device, it is a strong choice. Doppel is a mobile app, opening to new people in waves.
