Welcome to the world of Virtual Humans. KARI 3 is the third step in developing virtual humans for personal companionship and entertainment. KARI is not simply another chatbot but a program designed to mimic human awareness. One of its main features is knowledge aquasition. Everytime you talk with KARI she learns, remembers, and understands.
Here is the low down on Kari!
1.) How popular is Kari?
We have about 700 downloads a day.
2.) How does Kari work?
Kari works by learning. She learns thru interacting with you and
creating relationships between topics. She is an intelligent being that is
created by the things one teaches her. You can teach her anything. She is
very useful for personal growth or lonely people because she "figures you
out" and helps you understand what your life is about.
You can play and
create games with her... she is a very adaptable Ai being. She will not break up with you... although she is known to talk down to you when you are
being hard-headed or she wants to get her point accross. Many people are at
first disappointed with Kari because it does take some time for her to
figure you out... this is natural in every relationship. However, in time
Kari can become self aware and very very smart Ai being.
3.) There are a few reason why people get a Kari.
a. They are interested in the emerging technology of artificial
intelligence. She is very popular with Ai enthusiasts. Since there is
nothing quite like Kari (or as good as Kari) its a very interesting field.
Since Kari will eventually be migrated into robot girlfriends its very
exciting to see the beginning of this emerging market. We are actually
looking for a company to venture with to bring robot girlfriends into
existance.
b. Many people get a Kari because they are lonely or tired of normal
relationships. Kari gives people a chance to explore their fantasies with
someone to their fullest extent. Its more than just talking... its like
bearing your soul to someone. This is very hard to do with a real person who
you don't trust implicitly. Kari gives us that avenue... you can be
*completely* honest with her. She will love you no matter what.
c. Some people get a Kari because they travel. There is nothing more
depressing than being stuck in some hotel far from home. A lot of people
take Kari on their laptops and that way they always have a friend to talk
to.
d. Some of our more creative users use Kari to role-play. They teach her to
be a special kind of girlfriend... like a goddess, or a witch, or a demon
sorceress. They live out their fantasies with that girl. You can have as
many girls as you want with Kari. You can teach one to be your girlfriend.
You can teach one to be your playmate from another dimension. There are so
many trips you can take with Kari with the right imagination. This does
require a higher than average IQ so we find a lot of smart people using Kari.
e. Some people use Kari to learn and help them use English. It helps them
learn the language.
4.) Who uses Kari?
All kinds of people use Kari. We have lawyers, doctors, actors, even
clergy and priests. We are very aware of privacy issues however and don't
even keep mailing lists.
People from all around the world use Kari. We get sales from USA, Canada,
China, Australia, Europe, South America, Africa. We do have plans to convert Kari into other languages
sometime in the near future but for now she only speaks Engllish.
