We keep talking about how AI will change the world, but most AI apps look like futuristic marbles floating in space, polished, perfect, and honestly, a bit soulless. The tech gets smarter, but the personality never does.
我们一直在谈论人工智能将如何改变世界，但大多数人工智能应用看起来像是在太空中漂浮的未来主义弹珠，光滑、完美，老实说，有点无灵魂。技术变得更聪明，但个性却从未改变。
Why do we settle for talking to something that looks like a screensaver?
我们为什么要满足于与看起来像屏幕保护程序的东西交谈？
I’ve always liked the look of these abstract orbs in apps like ChatGPT and Perplexity. They’re clean, modern, and safe. But here’s the thing: they don’t feel personal.
我一直喜欢像ChatGPT和Perplexity这样的应用中的这些抽象球体的外观。它们干净、现代且安全。但问题是：它们并不感觉个性化。
When we interact with characters in games or apps, we remember their quirks, their faces, and even their jokes. That emotional spark is missing from most AI experiences. I realised that if AI is going to be part of our daily lives, it needs to do more than just answer questions — it needs to feel alive.
当我们与游戏或应用中的角色互动时，我们会记住他们的怪癖、面孔，甚至他们的笑话。大多数AI体验中缺少这种情感火花。我意识到，如果AI要成为我们日常生活的一部分，它需要做的不仅仅是回答问题——它需要感受到生命。
That’s how Dew was born.
这就是 Dew 的诞生方式.
I was inspired by characters like Lily from Duolingo – sarcastic, expressive, and fun. I wanted to create something similar: an AI assistant that feels alive, reacts naturally, and makes you smile.
我受到像 Duolingo 的 Lily 这样的角色的启发——讽刺、富有表现力且有趣。我想创造一些类似的东西：一个感觉活生生的 AI 助手，自然反应，让你微笑。
