Comment highlights

Hello Literature is an amazing app that allows you to interact with characters from literary masterpieces and hear their stories firsthand! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Cool concept for the app, but I'm curious, how does it keep the conversations from feeling too fake or scripted, like, can you actually ask them anything or is it like pre-set replies, also any plans to add more niche characters, cuz mainstream ones might get old real quick...

So I played around with this app a bit, sounds cool to chat with book characters but honestly felt like their responses were a bit flat, would love to see more depth in the conversations, maybe add some more interactive elements or different personality traits for them? Just a thought

This idea's kind of cool but it feels like a gimmick, how's it really different from stuff like Replika or Character.ai, would love to see more depth, maybe focus on more obscure characters too, not just the obvious ones, what do you think about adding modern writers, that make it more fresh

While the idea of chatting with book characters and writers sounds interesting, I can't help but wonder if it might end up feeling a bit gimmicky, like will the AI really capture the essence of these characters, I'm not so sure, being an AI-generated interaction, it might miss the emotional depth or the subtle nuances that make literary figures so engaging to begin with, great for a quick novelty, but for true literary lovers, it might miss the mark

I tried the app, and while chatting with book characters is kinda fun, it feels like it's missing something, maybe more interactions or ability to customize convos more, have you thought about adding some user-generated content so people can create their own unique dialogues with characters, might make it more engaging for long-term use

This is a great concept! How about adding a feature where users can write their own stories and have AI characters interact with them? It would be a fun way to spark creativity and engage with literature in a new way.

Hey Costas, I tried out the app too, it's a cool concept but do you think maybe it could use more interactive features, like where you can influence the story or character's decisions? Felt a bit one-sided in the chat with Legolas, might be just me but it would be awesome if we could have a real back-and-forth with these characters, what do you think?

Honestly, chatting with imaginary characters seems kinda weird, I get the idea but feels like it would just be annoying after a while, maybe stick to real conversations or something more useful

Not sure how I feel about chatting with book characters when real conversations are already scarce, also wouldn't it be better to spend time actually reading the books rather than talking to AI, seems kinda pointless but curious if others think the same 🤔 is this really what we need?

You know, while talking to book characters with AI sounds kinda fun, I'm wondering how deep these conversations can actually go, are they just repeating lines from the books or can they adapt to different topics, also, it might get kinda boring if the responses are all pre-programmed, any plans to update the AI regularly with more dynamic content?

Found the app through a friend's recommendation, gotta say I'm a bit underwhelmed, chatting with book characters sounds fun at first but it gets old quick, any plans to add more interactive features or maybe some sort of game mode to make it more engaging

So I tried the app, it's kinda cool but I found it got a bit boring quickly, like what if we could chat with lesser-known characters too, or maybe get some interactive story mode, just some thoughts, have you considered these ideas

Do we really need an app to chat with fictional characters, seems like another tech gimmick to me, what's next AI friends?

Cool concept but I gotta say chatting with fictional characters sounds a bit childish, I mean, who really wants to have a deep convo with Legolas, maybe focus more on real writers who have an actual impact on literature 🤷‍♂️

Wow, I gotta say this new app is an interesting concept, being able to chat with characters from iconic books would be a cool and helpful tool for literature lovers, isn't it? I think it could really help engage readers more deeply with their favorite stories, I'm curious though, are there plans to add interaction with contemporary writers too, to discuss their work and inspirations? Similar apps like Replika and Character.ai offer chat interactions but focusing on fictional characters from books is a unique angle, how does it compare in terms of AI's ability to keep true to the characters' original voices? I'd love to hear more about future updates and maybe even user customization options, great job on this creative project!

Is this what modern literature fans need, talking to Legolas and fictional characters, feels more like a gimmick than a game changer, anyone agrees?
