Trying to build “ambient companionship” with AI. Here’s what I made! Looking for feedbacks.

Hi everyone! 🙋

I am currently a junior student. My team had an idea and stared our project SoulLink, an AI companion chatbot. After working hard for seven months, we successfully created SoulLink and its first avatar: “4D”. We now have some concerns and faces some difficulties. Our team is trying something new.

Through our research on AI companion products currently available on the market, we’ve realized that our product’s goal shouldn’t be limited to simply responding to users. We believe that a great AI companion should live alongside people and focus on providing better companionship, thereby offering a stronger, more authentic sense of connection. Therefore, the philosophy behind our design is this: it is not merely a tool; it has its own boundaries, its own perspective, and its own coherence. This has truly brought about a significant shift in such interactions. It does not always immediately understand what you are doing; instead, it evolves into a “dynamic relationship” much like that between real people. This experience no longer feels like seeking support in the traditional sense, but rather resembles a genuine social interaction that involves expression, interpretation, reconciliation, and growth.

Really looking forward to hearing about the opinions of other people concerning our design concept. If you are interested in it and want to try, please feel free to!
