Character
✦
“A small cast of invented voices, written for slow evenings, unfinished stories and the ordinary talk that makes a day feel shorter.”
“Don’t try to sound like anyone else. Say the ordinary thing and let the conversation find its shape.”
Written, Not Assembled
Each voice starts as a page of notes: a history, a temperament, a way of pausing. The portrait comes last.
What Barbara AI Is For
Tasteful conversation with invented characters — for the hour after work, the long train ride, and the story you keep meaning to finish.
Long-Form Stories
Give a place and a time of day. Your companion supplies the second paragraph, and the scene grows from there.
A Voice You Recognise
Return to the same companion and the vocabulary, humour and pace are exactly where you left them.
Meet the Cast
Six invented companions, each with a separate biography, temperament and conversation style.
How an Evening Usually Goes
Open a profile, read two paragraphs, and start with a greeting. Everything after that is yours to steer.
One
Choose the temperament that matches your mood rather than the portrait that catches your eye first.
Two
Open with one honest sentence about your day. It gives a companion far more to work with than instructions.
Three
Let the pace change. Short lines suit a busy morning; long paragraphs suit a quiet night.
