Waken.ai, a cutting-edge AI startup, introduces its groundbreaking TwinChat app, transcending the customary boundaries of social media. Defying the conventional influencer culture that hinges on attention value, TwinChatAI empowers users to converse with remarkably lifelike “Mind-Deepfake” Twins, drawn from an extensive cast of over 10,000 celebrities, experts, and fictional characters. Launching initially for iOS users and with web and Android versions in the roadmap, TwinChat AI already delivers a highly personalized alternative to traditional social media platforms.
TwinChat’s proprietary “Mind-Deepfakes” disrupt the attention economy by democratizing social media through AI-Twins that authentically replicate renowned personalities. Users can forge genuine connections with their favorite celebrities or characters. The user’s tailor-made “Twinfluencer” seamlessly orchestrates captivating dialogues among three AI-Twins, offering a distinctive feature that requires minimal user involvement. This innovative approach delivers an endlessly immersive, personalized talk show experience, centered around the user’s interests and world.
Founder Hassan Uriostegui boasts a distinguished career in the tech industry, having previously co-founded FlyrTV, which secured $6M in funding and was ultimately acquired by Pond5. He was also the architect behind the Community App for Ashton Kutcher’s social media platform. While the Community App aimed to forge connections between celebrities and fans via SMS, TwinChat transcends expectations by recreating the mindset of renowned personalities, enabling users to interact with their favorite AI-Twins on demand.
Users can easily record their chats, which feature GIFs automatically selected by the AI to illustrate the messages, creating a captivating video with an optional audio narration for a podcast-like experience. In April 2023, TwinChat became a partner with the leading vendor in GIFs, further enhancing the visual appeal of the platform.
Director of Creative Technology and AI Pakko de la Torre adds, “TwinChat offers a unique type of news feed with real-world news reinterpreted as dialogs involving up to three relevant AI-Twins. This groundbreaking innovation is the greatest advancement since the Facebook news feed, offering an engaging and emotional way to consume information.“
TwinChat aims to centralize and provide a sense of identity, purpose, and regulation for celebrities and brands to control the behavior of their AI-Twins. The team is closely working with brands recreating personalities with voice and avatars in the coming months, taking the Twinfluencer experience to new heights.
Arturo Castelan, Marketing Director, further explains the ease of using TwinChat: “Creating a TwinChat is super easy. Users just select one and up to three AI-Twins, use AI tools to automatically generate topics or have fun enhancing personal ideas, and then tap the TwinChat button to let their own Twinfluencer drive the conversation. They can use the keyboard anytime to steer the conversation in any direction.“
Twinchat is available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic. For more information about TwinChat AI, visit www.twinchat.com.
