Google working on celebrity chatbots powered by AI, mimics Meta and Character.ai

Google is reportedly developing AI-powered chatbots modelled after celebrities and popular YouTube influencers, according to The Information. This puts Google as a strong competitor in the growing market for interactive AI companions, following similar offerings from Meta and startups like Character.ai.

The chatbots will reportedly be powered by Google’s powerful large language model, Gemini, to deliver realistic and engaging conversations. According to the news report, Google is seeking partnerships with celebrities and influencers to build these chatbots. This chatbot will allow fans to interact directly with AI versions of their favourite personalities.
