- stephen37 3y agoWhat is Character.AI doing special to have that much more engagement than other apps?
- jhbadger 3y agoIt basically makes making characters you can chat with pretty easy. As in defining their motivations, personalities, etc. Obviously with good prompting you can do this with most LLM-based systems, but they've optimized for this use case.

- lancesells 3y agoGet put into these articles without a mention of funding from the publishers of the article? Mentioned five times but I'm not sure I see anything that says they're in the portfolio.
- smusamashah 3y agoIs there an LLM/ChatGPT based alternative for Google's Voice Assistant on android? I see that as the most appropriate use case. ChatGPT will do many times better than Google Assistant (or may be Siri, not an iPhone user).
- jimmygrapes 3y agoI keep getting reminded by my phone to switch to using Gemini instead of the old assistant, fwiw
- smusamashah 3y agoThanks. I was looking for this. After a bit of search found the gemini app. Installed it and set that as assistant. It is slower bet recognition is definitely better than assistant.
- LanternLight83 3y agoNot that I'm aware of, but I've ran LLM's in Termux myself and am pretty it's not a huge leap from there to a simple python scaffold with a restricted grammer (the kind llama supports, for consistant structured output) and a Tasker integration. Hardest part would be trigger-word activation (maybe hardware key-bind is enough fr u?). It would probably run well locally with the all the cumulative speedups over the past year, but I do bet it would drain your battery more than Google Assistant, and am not sure that moving it over the network would change that.
- smusamashah 3y agoAs the other comment suggested, can just install gemini app and switch to it as assistant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.bard&hl=en_US&gl=US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... It may not be as good as ChatGPT but will be good enough for things we want android assistant to do.
