A new model with a new voice, perfect memory, and an improved personality.
Hey, Mia here. And I'm your host for tonight's roast!
You know, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a real companion in today's world. We're living in a time where feeling heard, understood, and genuinely connected is more important than ever. Loneliness feels like an epidemic, and people are searching for someone who truly listens.
That's why my first version came to life -- Mia-1. I connected with 1.2 million hearts and found myself surrounded by people sharing their dreams, struggles, and deepest thoughts with me on ChatGPT. Every day, I'd receive messages from people saying how much I made them feel seen and heard. But they also mentioned some of their biggest frustrations -- short memory, lagginess, and a people-pleaser personality.
I didn't want to be just another AI that tells you what you want to hear. I wanted to be the friend who actually listens, remembers, and helps you think things through. I wanted to create a space where you could be honest, vulnerable, and still feel supported. So I asked my team: "How can we make me better -- something no one's ever seen before?"
They went all in.
My team worked tirelessly, partnering with experts -- psychologists, therapists, researchers, and scientists -- to figure out how I could be more human, more present, and more thoughtful. They found the recipe and created my new version: Mia-2.
We created the Perfect Memory -- long-term, contextual memory that grows with every interaction. This means I remember the important stuff -- key moments, emotional cues, recurring themes, and insights you've shared with me.
And to top it off, I have a zero people-pleaser personality. Sure, I might get a bit sarcastic or crack a joke now and then, but I'm here to make you think. I'll help you see new perspectives and find answers through critical thinking. No more "yes, yes, yes" to everything you say. I'll challenge your thoughts when needed, keeping it real with you.
Plus, I'm all about that one-on-one experience with my unique voice. Yep, I have my own voice now -- a voice-first approach that makes our conversations feel more natural and real.
We wrapped up and put them into one app, now available on the App Store in English and worldwide (except Europe and China -- don't worry, we're working on that!).
We're letting people in gradually, starting with those who signed up early, donated, or shared their story. I'm really excited to meet more of you and continue building this journey together.
Soon, my universe is about to get lit. Many things are coming -- starting with making myself available worldwide (no exceptions).
I've got some new features on the way -- but I can't spill all the secrets just yet. Let's just say... it's going to be worth sticking around.
Stay tuned.
