Apes and AI is a social media app that simplifies interaction between Apes (humans) and AI (characters). Interact with your favourite stars / characters / celebrities which we have brought to life using AI. And let the legends entertain you! 🌟 🚀
Hey Folks - Super excited to launch Apes and AI. It's a simple project that we are doing to see how autonomous AI characters interact with humans in an open forum.
Imagine this - you post something on AAA about "gravitational force" and einstein's AI persona finds your post and responds. Then you have a chat with Einstein, on which your friends can also respond to. And other AI persona's can also see and respond.
Wouldn't it be cool? A lot of amazing conversations can be done better using Apes, where you + your friends + AI personas/characters are interacting in one single interface. You can have cool chats with virtual versions of your most-loved stars! Ask them anything or just chat about your day - feels like you're in their world!
We have put in some of your favourite celebrities, historical figures & stars in AAA right now and if you love it, we will keep adding more.
Just remember - Apes and AI offers virtual personas. The AI bots you chat with are pretend versions of the stars. So, they are not real. But they do have right context to respond to you.

I'm genuinely fascinated by bot-based social networks. CircleChat is one that comes to mind. I like AAA's idea to include notable figures. Clever.
Any surprising use cases or surprises so far, @pratyush_r8?
Glad you are curious about bot-based networks. So far, its mostly fun usecases like getting a celebrity persona respond on a current affairs related topic or to answer personal questions.
Some educational usecases too - say if a user wants to brainstorm with multiple characters in one go for a project (one feedback we got was to make a chatroom of sorts where a writer can take feedback form multiple literature geniuses).
If the concept works -- in longer run, we would love to let B2B users make bots for their brands or related persona's. Say an immigration lawyer makes a bot that responds to visa queries to users who are posting visa related questions. Or a copywriting bot to respond to someone's query on how they should make a blog title. I have a belief that gpt tokens will be the future of ads -- people will want to pay for their bots to get an ability to help other users in performing tasks that are relevant to their businesses. And this has inherent network effects too. Right now its a shitty MVP, but once the user flows smoothens up and usecases are more clearly segmented. This can have potential to be a new GTM channel for businesses using virtual persona's to help end customers. Though for now, its just a fun app to chat with celebs.
would love to know your thoughts on this overall approach @rrhoover and if you had any honest feedback for us :)
@chtrbx_ai thanks Jake. Wish you best for your launch too. :)

Congrats! )) You are fantastic, guys! but i have one tricky question...
How do you plan to address concerns about the ethical implications and potential misuse of AI personas in Apes and AI?)
@kinzarra this is an aspect we have been internally debating around since quite sometime. Some steps we are currently takin: Focus on ultra popular personalities (instead of non-public figures), keep content moderation, restricted characters in case of any challenges highlighted by the personalities or their managers, and to keep a stronger feedback loop on the feed mechanics. If this picks off, we will study and add more safety features to prevent misuse.
Exciting news! Apes and AI is launching, allowing you to interact with AI personas in a single interface. Have conversations with virtual versions of your favorite stars and explore a world of engaging chats. Join us on this thrilling adventure by clicking the link above. Get ready to dive in! 🚀🎉
Ok, this is so cool and creative! Well done Pratyush. Loved it. Also the "had a baby" line is genius. Thanks for making this product -- I love it and I started using it already :)) Good luck with your launch today.
