AI is a technology that can open all types of doors. While we worry about where some of those doors lead, AI can be used for some fun purposes. There’s a new app on the Apple App Store called Superchat that lets you chat with historical and fictional figures using AI, according to Tech Crunch.
Looking at this app and how it’s used, it pretty much resembles My AI from Snapchat. This is the AI-powered chatbot that Snapchat brought last month. It was only available to Snapchat+ users, but the company made it available to everyone starting today. You can learn more about it here.
Superchat uses AI to chat with historical and fictional figures
This is a pretty interesting take on the whole AI chatbot experience. The app has a roster of numerous people from Albert Einstein to Martin Luther King Jr, to Leonardo Da Vinvi to Cleopatra. When you tap on one of the figures, you’ll enter an iMessage-style text message conversation with them- complete with the almighty blue bubble.
At that point, it’s pretty simple- just chat. Superchat is powered by ChatGPT 3.5, so the information you get from this app will, ostensibly, be as accurate. Most of the information it gives will be accurate, but there’s always the chance that it will give some wrong information. Be careful of that.
Not only can you chit-chat with historical figures, but you can also talk with fictional characters. This includes people like Little Red Riding Hood, Zeus, Peter Pan, and so on. You’ll get information about them as well.
Along with those figures, you’re also able to talk to some generic assistants. While you can shoot the breeze with Pinocchio and Mozart, you can also talk to an AI-generated teacher, doctor, programmer, chef, and so on.
This is actually how this app got its start. Guglielmo Faglioni, the CEO of Gorilla Technologies, the company behind this app, originally wanted this app to let you chat with these generic workers before adding in the fictional and historical figures.
Price
Superchat is a free-t0-use app with a premium subscription. The subscription gives you access to every one of the characters. If you’re using the free version you still have access to a wide selection of people. However, the subscription gives you access to premium people. So, these include Rapunzel, Dracula, Cleopatra, and so on.
If you want to pay weekly, it costs $6.99/week. For a yearly subscription, it costs $69.99/year. You can download it from the Apple App Store today. If you’re an Android user, don’t worry. There’s an Android release coming next month.
