Have you ever wanted a real-time, one-on-one video-based conversation with a ChatGPT-powered bot? A new app, Call Annie, is designed to make that dream come true. It features an avatar with a female face to provide a more natural conversation.
The conversational topics span from learning new languages, preparing for interviews, understanding complex concepts and more. The app further provides a realistic conversational experience using Apple’s Neural Engine and on-device processing to animate facial expressions with the virtual avatar. It is only available on iPhone 12 or later models with audio-only calls offered to users with older models. Call Annie is also compatible with Mac computers powered by Apple’s M-series chips and running macOS 13 or later.
The Bot can give users advice on all forms of travel, such as local customs, must-see attractions, and more. It’s also important to note, as mentioned by the developers on Reddit, that all conversations data with the AI Bot is kept confidential and no voice recordings are kept. Additionally, the issue of the bot calling itself ‘Samantha’ while the app’s name is ‘Call Annie’ was noted and will be fixed soon.
The original image of the virtual avatar was created using Midjourney and the ChatGPT-powered Bot is still in its early stages. Its developers plan to expand its capabilities by adding more characters and voices in the future. Furthermore, the cost for running the Bot could reach up to $700,0000 per day, and has also been integrated into Stardock’s Galactic Civilizations IV: Supernova Edition. Also, OpenAI recently enabled an incognito mode for ChatGPT, allowing users to disable their chat history and data collection.
Call Annie is an app that enables conversations with a ChatGPT-powered bot and it is becoming more and more powerful as software developers keep implementing and improving its features. It has the potential to be a game changer and a revolution in how the world communicates.
