Kuki

What is Kuki?

Kuki, also known as Mitsuku, is a conversational AI character made by ICONIQ, a brand of Pandorabots, and available as a chatbot, with text, voice and a conversational avatar. It is built mainly with AIML, an open scripting language for hand-authored replies, combined with statistical models, machine learning and manual review. This approach gives fast responses and keeps replies suitable for brand use. Kuki is designed for open conversation rather than task automation, covering companionship, entertainment and education, and it can keep context across turns and remember details a user chooses to share. Brands have used Kuki as a virtual ambassador in advertising, and the Terms of Service describe access across web, SMS, social media, messaging apps and native apps. You need an account, using Google, Facebook or email, to chat with Kuki on the web. Pricing is not published.
