Google is working on a new AI chatbot project that would allow users to create their own chatbot or mimic celebrities. This project, powered by Gemini, could potentially integrate with YouTube in the future. Users would be able to input details like physical appearance and personality to create a custom chatbot for entertainment purposes, with the possibility of partnering with social media influencers to create chatbots inspired by them.
The goal of this project seems to be to compete with Meta’s Celebrity AI chatbots and Character.ai, which offers customizable chatbot services that mimic famous celebrities and TV characters, respectively. While Google’s interest in personalized chatbots is growing, user interest in such chatbots has been limited. It remains to be seen whether Google can differentiate itself and gain more traction in this space.
From a logistical standpoint, Google would need to provide a seamless experience over phones to ensure convenient and hassle-free interaction for users. They could potentially opt for a progressive web app (PWA) experience to make it easier for users to access and interact with chatbots.
While Google has not officially confirmed this new AI project or its release date, it is likely that it will undergo testing in Google Labs before being released to the public. This project is different from Google Gems, which is a customized version of Gemini designed to address specific tasks and user needs, and comes with pre-built sets for all users.
