What is Replicant?
Replicant is a distribution of Android that is 100 Free Software. While most of Android is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and the Linux core is mostly Free Software under the GPLv2, there are numerous proprietary software components in the default software stack on devices, particularly those that directly interface with the hardware. Replicant, in contrast, lacks certain proprietary features like location tracking. Users can find a list of open-source apps to replace the proprietary Google apps on the Replicant Wiki, and it suggests using F-Droid instead of the Google Play Store Replicant also serves as a leader in Contact Center Automation, empowering companies to automate their most common customer service calls while enabling agents to focus on more complex and nuanced customer challenges. Replicant's AI platform allows consumers to engage in natural conversations across voice, messaging, and other digital channels to resolve their customer support issues, 24/7. The platform can scale up or down instantly, be implemented in weeks, and handle millions of customer support interactions per month
