SAN FRANCISCO, June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the team behind Replika, the AI friendbot that has become an integral part of over 2 million people's lives, unveiled Blush, an AI dating app designed to give people relationship confidence and reignite the desire to date and strengthen the bonds and intimacy for active couples. Launching in open beta, Blush is a safe, non-judgmental place to hone relationship and intimacy skills and rediscover the positivity and jubilation of that first date or falling in love.

"At Blush, we believe that AI can enable romantic exploration, boost confidence, and increase our awareness of relationships," said Rita Popova, Chief Product Officer, Replika.
