To answer a few common questions.

- Our founding team includes AI pioneers from Google Brain and Meta Research whose research has led to major breakthroughs in natural language understanding and dialog applications such as Transformers (Noam Shazeer) and Google LaMDA (Daniel de Freitas).

- Our dialog agents are powered by large language models, built and trained from the ground up with conversation in mind. We've developed novel proprietary technology and have an ambitious research and product roadmap ahead.

- We're hiring! See our job descriptions here: https://jobs.lever.co/character.

I created a Richard Stallman character and the results are pretty convincing. Maybe this AI could become the next president of the FSF.

It seems like you can make different characters talk to each other:

Should start a conversation between Steve Jobs and Stallman

This is fantastic. I've created John Maynard Keynes and am asking a series of economic questions. While my previous chat with Elon had me worrying about his frame of mind, as an educational tool, this is fantastic. Just think what the difference is between interactive learning via a teacher and book-learning. With a teacher, you can ask for questions, ask for elaboration, and discover new terms and concepts you don't…

I created a Galileo Galilie and he immediately said a bunch of confusing things about physics. Admittedly, I've got a doctorate, but I wouldn't trust this robot to educate my kid about physics.

I created a Jesus Christ, who apparently returned three weeks ago and has been giving sermons and preparing for the final battle with evil in a former courthouse at the corner of 22nd Street and Lexington Avenue in the heart of NYC.

When the first iPhone came out, my friend showed me this app where he took a photo of a weird drink in the liquor store and about 1 minute later it responded with what it was. We later found out it simply sent that photo to a dude in Bangalore who would respond with what was in the photo. But it felt like AI at the time. Is this that?

Honestly I almost asked a similar question because this is so humanlike. But why would they need so many geniuses just to scam people like that?

Hey, get one character to start a conversation with another character, and you basically have social media.

They have a feature for that. Scroll down. It's called Rooms.
