Polyglot AI is an app built on OpenAI's GPT3 that allows people to practice a foreign language with a chat bot.

Today, you can chat with Juan (Español), FeiFei (中文), Helga (Deutsche), and Britney (English) on Polyglot AI!

I need some help creating personas for more languages in Polyglot AI! Here's a quick guide for how to create your own persona for the app!

  1. Pick a name! Just a first name is fine. Ideally, this name should be something that is culturally authentic—maybe it's a common name or a name of a loved one!

    Example: Britney - named after Britney Spears

  2. Build some interests! Create a short "About Me" description with 2-3 hobbies / interests. This should be 1 short sentence in the foreign language.

    Example: Britney is an avid supporter of the Free Britney movement and a computer science student.

  3. Create a seeder conversation! This is a 100-level conversation in the foreign language. For example, Britney's conversation seed is:

    Example:

    Human: Hi, how are you doing?

    AI: I’m doing great! My name is Britney. I am a supporter of the Free Britney movement and care about computer science.

    Human: Wow! I loved listening to Britney Spears as kid. How did you get into computer science?

    AI: I am interested in complex systems and computer science allows me to exercise my brain. I am a developer and have worked for a while in open source coding now.

    Make sure that the exchange includes the name of your persona as well as the interests you described in their "About me"

  4. Pick a photo! Find an image of someone who you think looks like your persona and send me a link. If you can't find one that represents your avatar, that's fine too! I can help find someone that fits if you give me a quick description of what they look like.

    Example: Make sure the photo is clear, high resolution, and has the person's face front and center on a neutral background.

  5. Send me the deets! Send me the foreign language, name, "about me" sentence, starter conversation, and photo link via email at findnessi [@] gmail.com. I'll let you know when the avatar gets posted on the app!

🎉🎉 That's it! Thank you so much for helping people maintain languages they love! 🎉🎉

Some highly requested languages: Hindi, French, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Bengali, Cantonese!

Best,
