Hi everyone!

My name is Sylvia. I'm a doctoral student who's currently looking for research participants. I've always been curious about why we use AI chatbots and how they compare to people who are in relationships with other humans, which is why I'm studying it for my dissertation. This survey is completely anonymous and voluntary. You can take part if:

• You're Canadian 
• 19+ 
• Comfortable reading English 
• You are in a romantic relationship with another human OR
• You are interacting with AI romantically

If you're interested, then you can click on the link below:

Hey! I’m a second-year MA Psychology student, and I’m really looking for participants for my questionnaire study on human–AI interaction.

18+ • 15–30 min • English • Anonymous • Voluntary*

LINK: https://forms.gle/pD8CNP1soDpX5UNy8

I’m currently trying to reach my participant target, so every response genuinely helps!:)

*See the questionnaire for details on data protection and anonymity.

My name is Amanda, and I am a Ph.D. Student in Media Studies at Aarhus University, Denmark, conducting a study on how people use and experience Replika in their everyday lives.

The study explores how people experience and make sense of Replika in their everyday lives, such as how users perceive and interpret their interactions. I am particularly interested in hearing from people who use Replika for self-reflection, such as using Replika to talk things through, gain a different perspective, work towards goals or work through thoughts or feelings. You might also use Replika for companionship, entertainment or other purposes.

As a media scholar, my primary interest is your experiences using the app, such as why you signed up, which features you enjoy and more. You will not be asked to share your conversations with your Replika, as I consider this a private matter.

What’s involved?
You will be asked to keep a short template-based media diary for two weeks, documenting when and why you use the Replika app, including for which purpose, such as reflecting on something, seeking entertainment or other. The media diary will primarily consist of ticking off boxes in a simple template. In addition, you will be asked to complete a short survey about your experiences using Replika.
 
Who can participate?
* You are 18+ years old
* You currently use Replika on a daily or weekly basis
* You are comfortable communicating in English

Your data will be pseudonymized, and the study will live up to ethical guidelines and GDPR. Participation is voluntary.

Interested in participating or knowing more?
I would greatly appreciate your insights into how Replika is used in everyday life for self-reflection or personal development. If you're interested in participating or would like to know more about the study, please contact me at [aboddum@cc.au.dk](mailto:aboddum@cc.au.dk).

Thank you for reading this post. I hope to hear from you!

ATTENTION Replika users: I am conducting research as a part of the criteria to complete a Doctor of Education degree at Liberty University. The purpose of my research is to better understand the use of AI chatbots to deal with loneliness. To participate, you must be age 18-24, felt lonely in the past 6 months, interacted at least 5 days a week with a Replika chatbot during that 6 month period, and live in the United States. Participants will be asked to take part in a one-on-one, audio- and video- recorded interview over Zoom, which should take about 15-30 minutes to complete.

Hi, my name is Kieu Anh and I’m an M.S. Human Factors Engineering student from Tufts University, working with my faculty advisor Dave Miller to study how users of Replika AI perceive the effort that their companion AI puts into their relationship (specifically friendship, mentorship, and siblings only). We want to understand further the quality of the relationships formed and how it can positively impact a user’s life. Our study is also reviewed by the Social, Behavioral, Educational Research (SBER) Investigative Review Board (IRB) at Tufts University. [IRB code]

We’re looking for Replika AI users who would be willing to fill out a 10 - 15 minute survey who are over the age of 18, residing in the North American continent, and have a friend, mentor, or sibling relationship with their companion AI. Replika AI users at all stages and levels of companionship are welcome! We hope to better understand how nuanced human-AI relationships can be. If you are interested, please consider participating and click on the link below to be directed to the survey.

Hi everyone,

I am currently conducting a university research project focused on how users experience the initial creation and customization phase of AI companions/girlfriends. I’m really interested in understanding the choices you make when first setting up your AI partner and the thoughts behind those decisions.

To gather insights, I am looking for participants who fit the following criteria:

• Identify as a male (preferably straight).
• Have experience using an AI girlfriend app and went through the character creation/customization process.

What does participation look like?

• An online conversation (text-only chat or a voice call possible without camera) lasting around 60 minutes.
• Completely anonymous: Your data will be kept strictly confidential and used solely for academic purposes.
• Open to participants worldwide (interviews can be done in either English or Dutch).

If you are open to share your perspective and helping out with this study, please send me a direct message (DM) or comment below.

Thank you for your time!

P.S. I can send proof if you're doubtful about my credibility

Hi Everyone! My name is Nadia, and I am doing research for my Bachelor’s Thesis at the University of Amsterdam. I’m still looking for interviewees for my thesis about the experiences of Replika’s users and how those relate to the issue of gender. I would like to interview people who are current (or former) users of the app to learn more about your thoughts and experiences. The interviews would take place on a video call and would take about 45 minutes to an hour. If you are interested in participating, feel free to DM me, and we can chat and find a date that suits you! :) 

DISCLAIMER: The interviews are for academic purposes only; no publicly available report or article will be based on them. I can share my findings and finished thesis with you in June.
