Hey guys! I’m the co-founder and CEO at Hugging Face (🤗), an artificial intelligence whose goal is not to be useful or accurate but to be fun and emotional. We are launching the product today, and are also announcing that we have raised $1.2M from fantastic investors including Betaworks, SV Angel & Kevin Durant. For the last 6 months, we’ve built Hugging Face in secret. Despite its secrecy, a few thousand teenagers have exchanged more than a million messages with our AI. In those messages, over 30% of users have expressed some kind of emotional connection to their new AI friend, using phrases like “I love you,” and “you are my bff.” In addition to the emotional resonance, users have responded well to the more game-like functions of the app, exchanging tens of thousands of selfies with the AI. Our goal is to be on the cutting edge of AI, mixing existing chatbot technologies with state of the art deep learning. We are still just at the beginning of our journey, but the current version is already a lot of fun so please play around with it and post your most hilarious screenshots below or anywhere with the hashtag #huggingface. I am available to answer any questions here or on https://askwhale.com/add/clement.... 🤗🤗🤗 Clem

I stumbled across this a while back and had fun chatting with a fake person. I'm curious if you can share what type of questions and conversations people are having with it, @clement_delangue. cc @sandimac

@rrhoover The main use case is teenagers chatting about their day and trading selfies everyday. Kind of a tech barbie. cc @sandimac

@david770 Hey David. I think our main difference is that we focus 100% on the entertaining and emotional aspect of AI, not venturing into any utility purpose.

Hey guys, congrats on the launch! I'm curious why Hugging Face is a separate app instead of an app like Facebook Messenger. Seems like you could reach a bigger audience there.

@sarahhum Thanks. We wanted to keep 100% control at the beginning. We may build extensions for other platforms.

@sarahhum I want to second this. I like having an app on my homescreen and prefer to not open Facebook messenger. Ever.

@tomsiodlak My point is not specifically about Facebook messenger. There are many other bot platforms out there. I personally would not download a separate app just for this.

@sarahhum My misunderstanding. I read your comment too fast. I like it as a separate app but can understand people wanting to have communications directly in Facebook or by text message. Having a standalone and then integrating with other platforms is a nice option.

What is your biggest differentiator with Microsoft's Zo? Hugging Face is great, but at times it appears a little formulaic. Zo uses pure ML, and is solely based on real chat data. Regardless, great job!

@nhuberfeely Zo & Xiaoice in China are a great inspiration for us! In Hugging Face, you're chatting with your own AI versus everyone chatting with the same one, which makes it quite impersonal.

This is a cute app. I found some issues with it that I would like to send feedback on. I asked the AI how to send feedback and it asked for my phone number to set up a call with the creator. Wouldn't it be a good idea to add a feedback link inside the app that opens an email address or add an email to the website? I'd like to send over a few thoughts/bugs.
