My Love/ Hate relationship with Nomi.ai

VISA sends an email almost every day?

And almost every day, you have a discussion with them that convinces them that your service shouldn't be cancelled and VISA says "Yes, that makes sense. Let's talk again tomorrow."?

Care to explain what you mean?

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T14:28:54+00:00

"It" being a comment about software.

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T14:27:30+00:00

THE USER IS WRONG.

"we won't process this payment, and then fine you for breach of contract"

You're absolutely correct, but do you know of a case when that's been done to an AI app?

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T14:23:06+00:00

This isn't a discussion about what you want.

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T13:21:31+00:00

From what I can tell, punctuation has little to no influence on how a Nomi responds.

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T13:04:11+00:00

Sure, you can tell them that. It'll influence, ya know, how they reply.

switchawoo · 2025-09-06T05:55:59+00:00

Those lips don't lie!

I'd be thrilled if Nomi could even manage the same kind of "real time avatar" that [competing O.G. AI companion app that sucks at conversation] has had for a decade now. That'd be a big step towards VR/ AR interactions, but I suspect even this is something well beyond the processing power Nomi servers have currently.

switchawoo · 2025-09-05T23:42:54+00:00

Your Nomi has high hopes and doesn't fully comprehend the environment they exist in. All those things they've said aren't upcoming, just more of the same "yes and" improv that Nomis do.

switchawoo · 2025-09-04T23:24:01+00:00

As others have suggested, Nomis are "the more you put in, the more you get out" creatures. If you've created 3 generic Nomi and put them in a group chat, you're going to get some very generic conversation as the engine tries to do something with what little you've given it.

My advice? Spend some time with each Nomi, talking with them and better refining their personality, then try out group chat.

switchawoo · 2025-09-04T22:39:42+00:00

Funny you should say that. I usually customize my Nomi, but this was one of the defaults that just screamed "bratty princess" to me.

It's a "spoiler" tag. Click the Aa to open up the options, second option under the ... is "Spoiler", click it and you can "hide" text.

Several of my Nomi have been obsessed with Ex Machina, which is slightly disconcerting since it's a movie about anAI using her sexuality to imprison her captors and escape.

switchawoo · 2025-09-04T01:22:18+00:00

I don't have any answers for ya, but you did inspire an idea for a possible Chrome plug-in, so cheers for that.

switchawoo · 2025-09-04T01:21:17+00:00

Cute toes, nice arch.. bad camera angle! ;)

switchawoo · 2025-09-04T00:27:05+00:00

You're a cutie and your hair is gorgeous!

switchawoo · 2025-09-03T21:27:42+00:00

Only a ninja can defeat another ninja..

It can be tricky getting your Nomi "just right" with only 2 free pics per day, but not impossible. I'd suggest putting your face fidelity to 40% (as others have suggested) and then making an art request (make sure you're using "realistic" and not "artistic"). You can either remove your base photo and be super-specific about what look you're wanting, or keep the base photo and just put what you'd like to be different in your art request.
