In 2024, I joined a small team working on a clone of Character AI. I had the opportunity to be mentored by someone from Google Brain Lab, which provided me with the foundation for building emotionally responsive characters. However, I wanted to go further, to turn that tech into something more interactive, more playful. The team wasn’t on the same page, and eventually, the whole thing fell apart. That’s when the idea for Dream Novel started to form - kind of out of nowhere, during a conversation with my brother. He’s a huge fan of Visual Novels, and he has some experience with AI image and text generation.

Skills decay when they aren't used. E.g., GPS navigation reduced the ability of those who grew up using it to navigate without it.

Tried FaceSeek out of curiosity and the results were weirdly accurate—found a bunch of lookalikes that kinda freaked me out. Anyone know what kind of tech it's using under the hood?
