AI is a huge part of Wavelength today — 1/3 of all messages sent invoke the @AI bot in a conversation.

Today we’re launching an AI bot designer built into Wavelength. This lets you easily create custom AI bots — amazing lifelike personalities that you can interact with in your group chats or via direct message. You can choose from GPT-3.5 or Claude Instant v1.1 for the model that powers your bot. We’ve found that sometimes a particular model is much better for a character, so it’s worth trying both and comparing results.

The bot designer lets you toggle between editing the bot and trying out the bot in a preview conversation, so it’s easy to refine your prompts and settings until the bot behaves just the way you want. Make a fun bot? You can share it with others using a link, or make it public so that anyone can discover it. Make a fun character, a text-based adventure game, or anything else!

We’re looking forward to seeing what you create. If you have feedback or questions, please reach out and let us know — we’re happy to help you debug your bots if they’re not working the way you expect.
