Google is working on advanced AI technology to create interactive chatbots that can take on different personas for users. These chatbots, powered by Google’s Gemini language model, aim to be more engaging and conversational rather than just providing information. Users will be able to customize these character-based chatbots to resemble celebrities or fictional characters, and Google may even collaborate with social media influencers to develop personalized bots. While the specific version of Gemini to be used is undecided, the project is independent of any Google platform, though integration with YouTube is a possibility for the future.
This initiative by Google echoes similar efforts by Goal and the new social media platform Butterflies, which have created AI characters based on real-life influencers. Character-based chatbots have become popular on platforms like Character.ai, where users can interact with characters like Sherlock Holmes, Tony Stark, and Elon Musk. These chatbots offer specialized functions such as writing assistance and dating advice, leveraging Google cloud services and TPUs for AI training.
