Ever wanted to chat with people who love history and literature? Instead of going back in time or jumping to the pages of a book, the power of AI brings you as close as possible Now
A new app named Superchat, designed for iOS/iPadOS, presents bots as famous historical and fictional characters you can chat with. He thanks TechCrunch for bringing this groundbreaking app to our attention.
What is Super Chat?
The basic flavor of Snapchat is free, but limits the number of characters you can ask a question or send a request. For $6.99 a week or $69.99 a year you can chat with any available character. Whether in the free or paid version, the choice of characters is imaginative.

Ask Isaac Newton if the apple really fell on your head, ask Socrates questions about philosophy and ethics, talk to Flash Gordon about space travel, or get rich advice from Jay Gatsby.
In addition to the usual fictional and historical characters, Superchat has a wide variety of professional helpers to guide you. Ask the pastry chef for his recipe for the best dessert, ask the gardener about weed removal, or ask the programmer about designing the code for a new app. We also have her ChatGPT assistant named Aria. Its mission is to help her write emails, develop marketing plans, and more.

With all the buzz around ChatGPT and AI, companies and developers are scrambling to take advantage of the technology. Superchat, released on April 17th, leverages OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, specifically his GPT-3.5 Turbo Model. But Guglielmo Faglioni, CEO of Superchat developer Gorilla Technologies, said he is waiting for OpenAI to provide access to his GPT-4 API.
How to use Super Chat
After installing Superchat from the App Store, launch the program. Images designed using the Midjourney AI image creator with all the colorful characters on the screen. Just tap the character you want to contact. The person introduces themselves with a brief description of a person from history or literature. After that, the chat session works like any other exchange. Type in your questions and requests and the characters will respond in their own style.

For example, I asked Jay Gatsby how to get rich like him. In response, he admitted that his wealth came from dubious sources and advised me not to follow the path to his wealth. We talked about the keys: hard work, providing valuable skills and services to people, investing time and resources, maintaining financial discipline, and networking with the right people.
According to Faglioni, the goal behind Superchat is to make AI accessible to more people, not just those who know how to write good prompts. With that in mind, he thinks the app offers a great way for kids to learn more about historical figures by chatting with people like Shakespeare and Cleopatra. Because it is built like, you can have different conversations with every character.
How did Superchat come about?
“The initial idea was to develop an AI voice-only assistant,” Faglioni told me. He continued:
However, during the development process it became apparent that text-based functionality would be more effective for certain tasks such as composing emails. As we continued to develop the app, we realized that having multiple conversations with the same assistant can get monotonous. That’s when the idea came to me to introduce different characters, such as a teacher, a gardener, a lawyer, and a therapist. We wanted to create a diverse set of characters that users could interact with directly, including historical and fictional characters.

Superchat has even more features. Faglioni said they are expanding the character library and enhancing existing characters. A version of his Superchat for iPad and Mac will be released in the next few days. An Android release is planned for next month.
