Launch of 'Streaks Companion' Customisable AI Confidant

 

'Streaks Idols' Surpasses 60,000 Messages Sent and 9,135 Registered Users

 

StreaksAI PLC (LSE: STK), a UK-based generative AI platform, is pleased to
announce the launch of 'Streaks Companion', a highly personalised AI chatbot
service allowing for sophisticated humanlike companionship, mentorship and
digital assistant services.

 

Streaks Companion offers private chatbots designed for long-term
conversations. Each virtual companion is designed for individual use,
remaining private and is only accessible through each user's personal account
on the Streaks website via the Streaks Companion portal.

 

The product is powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) generators
including GPT-4, which allows for deep personalisation as the chatbot
remembers previous conversations and utilises memory recall to create
personalised dialogue specific to each user. Streaks Companion allows users to
craft their unique and highly customisable AI companion using intelligent
prompts and questions designed to create custom chatbots.

 

The Company intends Streaks Companion to be used for three distinct services:
companionship, mentorship and as a personal assistant. Companionship services
can either be romantic or platonic, designed to increase users' confidence in
navigating real-life relationships, it also offers a secure environment for
users to build relationship skills and develop new romantic experiences. As a
mentor, Streaks Companion can provide friendship, as well as advice on
personal dilemmas, and as a personal assistant it is intended to support with
time management and organisation.

 

Streaks Companion's potential for use as a personal assistant dovetails with
Streaks' development of digital tie-ins including calendar integration, which
are expected to release in Q1 2024.

 

To support the launch, the Company commissioned a survey to determine public
sentiment around AI chatbots. The survey of 300 people around the UK was
strongly supportive of the potential of AI across companionship, mentorship
and as a personal assistant.

 

For companionship, 73% of respondents reported that chatbots and digital
companions could serve as effective tools in combating loneliness and social
isolation, and 50% of the participants believe that AI chatbots could play a
pivotal role in bolstering confidence in real-life relationships. In addition
to this, 26% expressed a willingness to engage in intimate and emotional
roleplay with chatbots.

 

Additionally, AI's potential for mentorship and as a personal assistant was
supported by a resounding 72% of respondents, who believe that AI chatbots can
be helpful in their day-to-day with a majority (53%) saying the development of
such technology will increase their quality of life.

 

Streaks Companion is available on the Company's website:
https://app.streaks.ai/ (https://app.streaks.ai/) , and users interact with
the platform by purchasing credits that cost £4.99 for 100 interactions.

 

Update on Streaks Idols

 

Since the launch of Streaks Idols on 21 September, Streaks' social product and
AI character generator, the Company has seen promising early sign-ups to the
service. Streaks Idols currently has 9,135 registered users. Moreover, in
excess of 60,000 aggregate messages have been sent across the platform
userbase. The Company is continuing to update the service with new 'Idol'
chatbots across a wide range of historical and cultural figures and
educational tools.

 

Moreover, nearly 70% of survey participants reported a keen interest in AI
chatbots that embody well-known fictional characters from media sources like
TV, books, or games, which vindicates the company's strategy in developing
entertainment and education-focused Streaks Idols.

 

StreaksAI's CEO, Philip Blows, said: "With the launch of Streaks Companion, we
are not just delivering a product, but an experience. Whether you're seeking a
mentor, a companion, or an assistant, Streaks Companion is our testament to
the boundless possibilities of AI tailored to individual needs. Our survey
demonstrates the appetite for AI companions is strong and the sector remains
underserved by existing products. AI virtual companions will continue to grow
in popularity and Streaks is well positioned to meet this demand.

 

"Streaks Idols has only just launched but we're already seeing positive
momentum in sign-ups and conversations. Our team is working hard to continue
adding in new chatbots to serve existing demand and build out the platform as
our momentum grows."
