About
Kami Computing was an early-stage startup focused on conversational AI, machine learning, and natural language generation (NLG). They developed a generative voice-based conversational agent capable of human-level open domain conversations, with a natural tone of voice, long-term memory, advanced cognition, and emotions. This conversational technology passed the Turing Test in October 2019. The company's natural-language processing engine was designed for entertainment applications over voice services like Amazon's Alexa and Google Now. Kami's technology and expertise were integrated into Embodied's proprietary SocialX platform to strengthen Moxie's conversational AI capabilities, including memory of past conversations, consistent personality, common sense reasoning, and common knowledge.
