Humanity deserves better AI sidekicks than Siri and Alexa, and developers and brands need an easy way to use open-domain conversational AI to scale communications of all kinds. That’s why we’re commercializing a socialbot called Kuki, which has modeled for Vogue and gone viral on Roblox–and traded over a billion messages with 25 million humans on web, social, streaming and gaming channels. Kuki’s brain leverages a hybrid of rules and machine learning, enabling fast prototyping of dynamic AI ‘personas’ that use our neural network based procedural animation to move autonomously.
