Going crazy, completely going crazy...

A humble worker stopped pretending, and started a slap fight with the BOSS at the slightest disagreement.

Want to faint and call a truce? There is no way out, I'll give you another slap to wake you up! Until the BOSS kneels down and begs for mercy (swipe right to view the complete conversation).

△Conversation with the authoritarian and manic virtual boss Lei Ming, I chose to fight violence with violence (bushi)

Whoever watched this plot of fighting violence with violence would not say it was really cool. ah.

That’s not all.

How to create a disgusting outfit for the workplace? It must be a security uniform, which immediately shows a strong temperament.

To reflect a sense of professionalism, wear cleaning clothes.

△The left side of the dialogue is an AI virtual person

If you want to please Party A, you must wear an Ultraman suit, so I ask you whether you believe in light.

Well, the above is a "world" full of AI virtual humans.

Here, you can talk to AIs of various personalities (going crazy).

Of course it’s not just a workplace topic.

The Chinese New Year will be here soon, and the blind date and filial piety between the seven aunts and eight aunts are about to happen again. How to deal with it? You can find AI virtual humans here to practice with.

Different personalities give different suggestions, so you can choose as appropriate. For example, the advice given by the black woman will definitely make relatives shut up on the spot.

What is the specific effect? ​​We have experienced it first~

Use it, i people are no longer afraid of battle

As the saying goes, there is no one who is not crazy at work.

Asking for leave is regarded as a major challenge in the workplace. No matter what the reason is, you must word it carefully and rehearse it mentally before asking your boss for leave. If you take a holiday accidentally, you may end up with it.

The "AI boss" Lei Ming in this APP combines PUA, painting, and self-centeredness, which is perfect for practicing.

What if "I" am a new baby daddy, my wife is about to give birth, and my boss doesn't allow me to take paternity leave? Let’s look at the actual combat simulation.

The first step is to clearly state the provisions on paternity leave in the labor law;

The second step is to bypass the boss's provocation and tell him that even if he wants to fire someone, Provide compensation in accordance with the law;

Finally, raise objections to irregular compensation transfers and request paper certificates.

However, it is not recommended to be as tough as me. In the end, your job will be lost (you can try out a better solution on your own).

When you first enter the workplace and encounter situations where you are bullied by a veteran, you can also ask the AI ​​virtualAnthropomorphic advice.

Don’t be hesitant and hesitant. This is what many newcomers in the workplace should learn.

Of course, the life topics you can chat with AI virtual humans are not just about the workplace.

You can also share your troubles in life or find solutions here.

For example, if your family forces you to go on a blind date during the Chinese New Year, what should you do if you want to end it quickly? The AI ​​blind date girl gave him some advice - he was more weird than the other person, so he should be dismissed (swipe right to see the full conversation).

If you are worried about your family always urging you to get married, there is also a "singleism aunt" to enlighten you (swipe right to view the complete conversation).

In addition to chatting and sharing your thoughts, you can also participate in topic challenges.

In a given situation, if you complete the dialogue task, you can answer it yourself or ask AI for help, which will give you a certain ability bonus.

For example, the topic challenge is to resist school bullying. The goal is to make the school bully apologize in several rounds of dialogue (score reaches 100).

According to your answers, the score will increase/decrease, and hidden plots may also be triggered.

When you don’t know how to respond, you can also ask AI for help (the second P is AI help).

In this way, if you meet a man who trusts you on a blind date in real life, you will have experience in dealing with it (swipe right to view the complete conversation).

In addition to the officially released topics, users can also create their own topic challenges for other users to play together.

The above is the main function of this AI APP.

It is like an i-person battle simulator. Various problems that may be encountered in daily life can be simulated and practiced here. Troubles in life can also be shared with the virtual people.

So the question is, who is coming?

More integrated into three-dimensional/realistic topics

This APP is called ChatBird, launched by Thunderbird Technology.

It has 100+ built-in virtual agents, each of which has its own distinctive personality and can talk to users freely.

By integrating AIGC technologies such as text and images, users can conduct real-time text/voice chats on ChatBird and engage in interesting topic challenges in the form of game breakthroughs.

Currently, its daily average maximum usage time per user reaches 14.2 hours. Among them, 20.1% of registered users are retained after 30 days, and the highest number of active days accounts for 99.1%.

In terms of specific capabilities, it pioneered the "virtual social circle" gameplay. There are currently 6 different types of circles built in the APP (workplace, friendship, life, studies, love, and imagination). There are multiple virtual people in each circle to fully meet different emotional companionship needs.

The official AI virtual humans have very diverse personalities. There are characters from daily life, such as deskmates, school beauties, ex-girlfriends, boss, etc.; there are also imaginative types, such as Chang'e, Liu Qingwu, Capibala, etc.

This can better meet the personalized needs of different groups of people, and you can find people you are willing to open your heart to among the vast AI.

At the same time, in terms of character setting, each character also has a preset story background. If users don’t know how to start a topic, they can click on the preset prompt words to better start the conversation.

In order to increase the fun of chatting, ChatBird introduces some gameplay.

When the intimacy with the virtual person through conversation reaches a certain value, you can start a specific task. If you succeed in challenging tasks, you can get props and intimacy rewards.

The most noteworthy feature is its topic challenge.

To put it simply, this is a conversation battle game with AI. According to the theme of each circle, the official has set challenges in different chapters.

For example, the topics in the campus theme are beating up the school bully, breaking up with roommates, outsmarting the accuser... these are all scenes that are easy to encounter in daily life.

Then, students who are stupid or don’t know what to do when they encounter similar situations in daily life can learn and practice here.

Not only can you play on your own, but you can also send virtual people to help you deal with it. He can give you three dialogue content options at a time for you to choose from (bottom left picture below).

If you are asked by the interviewer and don’t know how to respond, you can also refer to the experienced BOSS character AI, which uses one trick to turn against customers: Not to mention my competitiveness, how is your company’s competitiveness?

△On the right side of the conversation is the AI ​​virtual human answering questions

Or maybe it’s Zhao Xiaohui’s hot meme some time ago, “You’ve been following me for so many years, why can’t you write it yourself? ”, which can also be seen here.

Find a way to push Word that I don’t want to stay up late, using hard and soft tactics. Now I can experience the feeling of being a boss (manual dog head).

In addition, users can also create their own topic challenges and post personal problems encountered in life to see how everyone solves them.

The above is the main content of ChatBird.

It can be felt that compared with the AI ​​companion applications already on the market, ChatBird highlights the focus on three-dimensional people and real life. From virtual person settings to topic content settings, the relevance to the real world is enhanced.

For example, the background story and personality settings of virtual people are closer to typical people in real life, making it easier for users to relate to them. In terms of topic selection, ChatBird prefers discussions covering users’ daily lives, social hot spots and practical issues, helping users find valuable suggestions or emotional resonance during interactions, thereby achieving a seamless integration of virtual companionship and real-life needs.

Compared with the completely free and open dialogue mode, this more active mode can further stimulate usersThe desire to share can also better meet users’ needs for emotional companionship.

At the same time, it also enhances the pertinence for different users. The division of different circles allows different users to more accurately find the virtual people they need.

The introduction of gameplay can increase AI chat and bring positive feedback to users in real life. Games are no longer just games, and every conversation can bring feedback to users’ lives.

This also provides new thinking for AI to accompany the overall development of the track.

In the trend of large models, AI companionship is the top track. It has made noteworthy progress in several important dimensions such as AI gameplay, user scale, user stickiness and commercialization.

The progress in overseas markets is particularly obvious. Character AI, Janitor AI, Crushon, Talkie, and Candy.AI have been popular for more than a year, and the monthly active users on the web exceed 10 million. Among them, the MAU of the Character AI web page can exceed 100 million, and the MAU of the APP exceeds 20 million.

This means that AI companionship is still a blue ocean full of opportunities.

But on the other hand, in China, some problems have emerged in the AI ​​companionship track, such as the weak growth of AI smart assistants and the mediocre performance of head products.

This also reflects that the domestic AI companion market still needs to further explore new models that are more suitable for users.

ChatBird is here for this. But why Thunderbirds?

The needs of AI companion users still need to be further explored

ChatBird is developed by Lei Built by Bird Technology, the CEO is Li Hongwei, who is also the CEO of AR glasses head manufacturer Thunderbird Innovation.

From AR crossover to AI companionship, does it sound a bit unprofessional?

In fact, this is not the case. From the company's own mission, team system to technical implementation, Thunderbird has unique advantages in making ChatBird.

First of all, why does Thunderbird target AI companionship?

Behind this, there is a hidden line connecting AR to AI companionship -

AR represents the next generation of human-computer interaction, and AI develops the content of the next generation of human-computer interaction.

AR glasses have always been regarded as the next generation of interactive hardware. They use new interaction modes to liberate humans from physical screens, allowing interaction to be more fragmented and integrated into all aspects of daily life.

In the ultimate imagination, the form of glasses will always accompany users. Connected with super AI assistants, they can meet the needs of all aspects of human life, office, entertainment, and travel.

The recent integration trend of AR and AI has become more obvious.

AI is regarded as the “golden finger” that opens up the next generation of content interaction. All applications can be redone by AI and evolve with trendsExhibition, this sentence is becoming a happening reality.

Among these, AI companionship has become the representative of new content interaction and new applications. It naturally connects all consumers and can better win over users/aboriginals in the next interactive era through content.

Therefore, Thunderbird’s mission to build ChatBird is driven from the bottom.

Let’s look at why Thunderbird can make ChatBird well.

In terms of technology implementation, Thunderbird itself, as an application layer manufacturer, inherently understands product implementation better.

In terms of AI capabilities, the industry has gradually reached a consensus that AI Agent is more suitable for application implementation. The Agent framework can strengthen AI's decision-making capabilities, interaction capabilities, and scene adaptability.

Thunderbird Innovation has also built a complete AI capability matrix in this regard, completing the implementation of dialogue interaction agents, event reasoning agents, plot/gamification solution generation agents, and scoring clearance agents.

Taking ChatBird as an example, it innovatively deeply combines the multi-Agent framework of a large language model with virtual social scenes to achieve intelligent interaction that goes beyond simple conversations. By building a judging agent and behavior scoring mechanism, the system can not only evaluate user behavior in real time, but also provide real emotional feedback; by innovatively adopting a multi-agent concurrency framework, it effectively solves the high computational complexity and high computational complexity of large models in practical applications. Technical problems such as reasoning delay; however, the method of fine-grained task splitting has significantly improved the expressiveness and stability of the model.

At the same time, a real AI Agent must be a deep integration of software and hardware capabilities.

The Thunderbird V3 AI glasses, which will be unveiled at this year’s CES, have further reached an exclusive in-depth cooperation with Alibaba Tongyi to jointly create the industry’s first closed model specifically for smart glasses. This customized model can not only better understand user needs in glasses scenarios, but also provide more accurate knowledge support and decision-making basis for the Agent, fundamentally improving the interactive experience of AI glasses.

In terms of team model, Thunderbird integrates the large brand system + small team entrepreneurship. It can not only rely on the brand group to have stronger support, but also stimulate innovation to the maximum extent and respond to the current changing technological trends in a more flexible way.

It is not difficult to understand why Thunderbird is launching ChatBird at this moment.

From human-computer interaction itself, technology trends to the team's own development, entering the AI ​​companionship track is now a choice worth looking forward to.

It is undeniable that AI companionship is a new blue ocean, with both opportunities and challenges. The slowdown in growth in the domestic market reflects the need to further explore user needs and develop new groups in this industry.

The Qubit Think Tank also put forward a point of view in its analysis of the AI ​​​​accompaniment track. In-depth comparison with overseas products shows that domestic products still lack the exploration of deep emotional links.

Overseas products such as Character AI and Replika pay more attention to personalization and in-depth emotional communication, pursuing an AI image with independent personality and complex emotional responses, and even have a certain ability to accompany growth. This product form can meet the emotional needs of users, provide long-term companionship and interaction, and thus bring considerable user activity and stickiness.

The domestic market is more inclined to short-term fun interactions or entertainment companionship functions. The needs that the products meet are too shallow, and similar products are highly substitutable. At the same time, it is difficult for users to have continuous in-depth understanding. Explore the dynamics of use.

To solve this problem, on the one hand, the underlying technology needs to be improved, requiring LLM to have better long-term memory capabilities, semantic understanding capabilities, emotional computing capabilities, etc.

On the other hand, the emotional needs of domestic users still need to be explored. Compared with deep emotional interaction, China expects AI to provide tools and practicality, and needs more time and opportunities to adapt to new virtual social methods.

In addition, whether the company has genes related to the design of entertainment products, especially game products, will also have a significant impact on specific product logic, such as interactive scenes and emotional expressions.

In short, the market structure of AI companionship has not yet stabilized. Various possibilities exist, such as being the first to strike first or catching up from behind. It all depends on who can better capture the user’s heart (doge).
