Do you need a bot who is just like YOU ARE?

Hey, ever felt like chatbots are just... meh? You're not alone!

People are craving something more real in the digital world. Imagine chatting with your favorite fictional character or a historical figure. Cool, right?

But it's not just about fun. Teachers, businesses, and content creators are all trying to grab our attention in new ways. They need something that can bring ideas to life and keep us hooked.

Here's the deal: we want digital conversations that feel personal and exciting, but the tech we have now? It's not quite there yet.

So that's the challenge we're facing. How do we create something that's truly mind-blowing in the world of digital communication? It's a gap we're all itching to fill!

Do we have someone who can fill this gap?

Let’s debate!!!!

WTF is Character AI?

Imagine having a chat with your favorite movie character, a historical figure, or even a version of yourself from the future. That's Character AI in a nutshell. It's this cool platform where you can create or talk to AI chatbots that act like real (or made-up) people.

The platform has raised over $150 million in funding but struggles with enforcement of its own policies against unauthorized impersonation.

Benefits of Using Character AI

1. Creativity Outlet: You can bring your imaginary characters to life or recreate your favorite personalities.
2. Language Practice: Conversing with AI characters can help improve language skills.
3. Entertainment: The platform offers a unique form of interactive entertainment.
4. Storytelling Tool: Writers can use it to develop characters and storylines.
5. Emotional Support: Some users find comfort in talking to AI characters (though this should not replace professional mental health support).

Let’s create me

TL;DR: I'm going to create a chatbot version of myself for Albus's customer support.

To get started follow these simple steps:

• The first step is clicking the create button located in the navigation bar on the left-hand side of the interface.

• You’ll have the choice between creating a character or a character room. Choose the first option, Create a character.

• On the next screen, you’ll set up your chatbot by:

1. Naming it	3. Choosing to enable image generation	5. Creating or uploading an avatar	7. Clicking “create” to finish
2. Writing its opening greeting	4. Setting it as public, unlisted, or private	6. Editing advanced details

• Here is my bot addressing someone’s question and I am really bullish on the response (keeping in mind I didn’t train it enough)
