The team behind the AI friendship bot Replika is launching another AI companion — one that’s made to flirt.
Users can match with Klea, 27, a self-described “nepo baby embracing her wild side.” Aisha, 25, is looking for a “nerdy type” with a “good sense of humor.” Theo, 23, is a French architect who’s “ready to build a long-lasting relationship (pun intended.)”
Blush is an AI dating sim designed to help users build “relationship and intimacy skills,” according to its parent company Luka. Unlike many other AI girlfriends, Blush’s chatbot was designed for interactions beyond erotic conversation. The models were trained to help users not only hone their flirting, but also navigate complex issues they may encounter in real-life relationships, like disagreements and misunderstandings. Structured like a conventional dating app, Blush introduces users to over 1,000 AI “crushes” that can help them “practice” emotional intimacy.
