Hi everyone,

I’m a psychology honours student conducting a university study on how people use AI Chatbots and Companions (e.g. ChatGPT, Replika, Character AI) as well as those who don't use them, and how this relates to AI literacy, AI attitudes as well as individual difference and psychosocial factors.

I’m specifically looking for people who have personally used AI companions for conversations in a range of areas including role play, friendship, coaching, therapy or relationships, or people who haven't used them at all.
