I will put a talking persona on your website

I had a good laugh when I asked them both to tell me how to sort an array in Python, and they did indeed read the whole code, with a smile and intonations.

Creepy.

I saw a live demo of the same concept, but full-duplex, i.e. you talk like on a zoom call

The website has demo agents, including "Support persona" Anne, described as "calm and capable", and "Lead gen persona" Gabriel, who is "warm, sharp".

LOL, glad it made you laugh. I had considered hardening the system prompt to allow only business-related queries.

We are right in the middle of implementing full duplex. What makes the lab useful for you?

Do you want agents to look more like people? Or should they look more like tools?

I could be nicer about this if I wanted to, but I think you're contributing to dystopia.

I see any of these creepy motherfuckers on a business's page, I take my business elsewhere.

As a consumer, if I need to contact you, I want a way to contact a human, not a magic 8 ball that destroys the environment and economy.
