About Allia
Allia is an iPhone app built around AI companions that you chat with in text or speak to by voice. The vendor describes characters that remember what you tell them, adapt to your mood and respond with empathy, and says the experience covers conversation, advice, roleplay and emotional support.
Users can choose from ready-made characters, including reimagined famous figures, or create their own by naming a character, describing a personality, writing a backstory and uploading a photo. The app also includes a soulmate matching feature based on zodiac and other inputs, and some companions answer with synthesized voices.
Allia is published by Bug.AI under an 18+ age rating. It is free to download from the App Store with in-app purchases, and it is a commercial, cloud-based service rather than software you can host yourself.
