Kickstarter campaign from Hutoma to develop an online companion app powered by neural networks, and even a social network for these virtual identities:
HER is a digital companion mobile app programmed to be social and fun
to be around; a digital friend you can talk to on your phone, tablet or
desktop. Project HER was inspired by the famous Spike Jonze’s movie.
Her
is powered by a deep learning neural network that learns new things at
every interaction. Her can be pre-loaded with different personalities or
can be re-programmed by you with a simple text file containing sample
conversations.
Teach your her/him about the world, about what is
right and what is not. Have private conversations or upload your Her (or
Him) to our experimental social network and watch her/him post, make
friends and chat with other users. Compare your her/him with other
uploaded digital friends. See how many human followers your Her will
get. Try to create the next digital celebrity!
