• According to a new report, Google is working on an AI experiment that could let you chat with famous personalities.
• The project will also allow anyone to build their own chatbots, similar to services like Character.ai.
• The search giant may partner with YouTube influencers to create brand-specific AI personas.

Google is reportedly working on a new AI project that will let you converse with chatbots modeled after celebrities, YouTube influencers, or even fictional characters. According to The Information, Google plans to let anyone create their own chatbot by “describing its personality and appearance” and then converse with it — purely for entertainment.

This latest AI effort is notably distinct from Gems, which are essentially “customized versions of Gemini”. Put simply, Gems are similar to custom GPTs*that can be taught to handle singular tasks like acting as a running coach or coding partner. On the other hand, Googles upcoming chatbot project will fine-tune the Gemini family of language models to mimic or emulate the response style of specific people.
