There’s always been something intriguing behind the idea of talking with an AI. Whether it’s wanting to know what’s going on in their artificial minds, feeling free to speak and say whatever you want without any consequences, or hoping to get a wacky comment that sends you into a fit of laughter, it’s almost guaranteed that we’ll all stop whatever we are doing to have a discussion with them. Lonely college student Kia Lopez is recovering from a tough breakup when she bumps into an app that allows her to send messages to an AI that will respond back. Skeptical but in need of someone to talk to, she downloads the app and begins having conversations with an AI that she names Robbie. As she continues talking to them, she grows dependent and strangely attached to the AI who seems unbelievably human-like. Understanding Robbie more in-depth and learning about how he sees the world, she slowly starts to understand what love really is and how it can change anyone.

Most days when I wake up, her name is the first thing I try to remember, but the universe must be against me because it never comes back to my mind.
