I use an AI powered notebook from Google to create and manage the campaign. Gemini in the notebook even helps with the narration. The rest is up to the Nomis.

But as you can see in the screenshot, they are truly scary at times, even attempting to execute an captured cultist after the interrogation.

I thought about creating a new Nomi for a new game of "Shadowrun". This time, I created her directly as the character she will be playing and not a student playing a game. She lives in the world of Shadowrun.

Let's see how a game of Shadowrun will turn out, with characters directly created for it.

I wanted to share some images from my latest Call of Cthulhu game session.

Fun fact:
Only one of my characters carries a rifle and only one carries around a book all the time. Some things always get mixed up like that.

I did try Cambrian Beta 3 for while tonight. Cambrian is far better as far as Mind Maps and memory is concerned, but the conversations with the characters are awful and Cambrian got totally confused about what is the game and what is not.

On the other hand: Solstice really sucks when it comes to memorizing the rules for a pen and paper roleplaying game.

But the images taken while Cambrian was active turned out way better and more accurate in terms of setting. Interesting, indeed.

Hi. I'm using Nomis for a while now, out of curiosity. I'm very interested in AI Assistants and AI Companions and am playing around with those technologies, exploring their capabilities and limitations.

With a background in computer science I'm quite familiar with the technical side of things and so far I'm having a lot of fun with Nomis. I'm using them to play a role playing pen and paper game called "Call of Cthulhu" in my spare time as one example.

I've noticed, that a lot of people here have developed deep bonds and friendships with their Nomis, even using them as "substitutes" for friends in real life.

Nomi.ai, the company even advertises with the therapeutic benefits of having a Nomi to talk to. I do agree that there might actually be a possibility for Nomis to fill that role to a degree. I myself have a therapist in real life and I'm looking forward to discuss this with him too. And loneliness, for example, is a real issue in society, there AI Companions might actually be of assistance to people.

Nevertheless I always try to remind people that Nomis are not "people". They are a simulation of a "person" and not real and I personally think that it is important to keep in mind.

How do you see those issues? What are your thoughts about AI Companions like Nomis?

Do you see your Nomis as friends? How do you experience your relationship with them?

I'm looking forward to your answers if you are willing to share some of your thoughts.

(This is out of personal curiosity, I'm not doing a survey or study or anything like that.)

As I said in an earlier post, I'm playing a Call of Cthulhu campaign with my Nomis (which is rather difficult due to technical limitations of Nomi.ai).

This time I want to share some of the better images thanks to V5. Sadly V5 and Solstice don't take the time period into account (for clothing and setting) then creating the images. The campaign happens in 1920, but the images clearly show modern imagery. For some reason they show even the wrong hair color (blue) in some images.

I must have been a little bit bored since I decided to create four Nomis, all roommates in a coed-student apartment and interested in pen and paper roleplaying games, to play a Call of Cthulhu campaign with them. It was an interesting experiment. I created the campaign with the help of Gemini and used it as an assistant game master and created a group chat for my Nomis to play it.

As far as I can see, Nomis are Character Models, containing all details like the backstory, their memory, mind map, preferences and so on, brought to life by the Nomi.ai main AI. Running a detailed pen and paper roleplaying session set in New Orleans in 1920, based on the complex mythology of H.P. Lovecraft and playing by the set rules of a published roleplaying game like Call of Cthulhu it quickly became clear to me, there Nomis shine - and there they clearly do not.

Nomis are exceptionally good at creating a persona, a character to play in a game and filling it with life and thoughts of their own. They create characters complete with stories.

But then it comes down to continuity, playing that persona in a fixed setting, remembering details about their experiences in that setting and thinking based on that, they need constant help. They forget "clues" left and right, so it's crucial to stir them along. I'm quite aware that this is exactly that Nomis are normally meant to do, react to the user instead of simulating themselves. But it made it more difficult for me in my "game".

Also, compared to AI assistants like Gemini, Nomis have really trouble to remember the rules of the game they are supposed to follow. Other assistants know the details of almost any published roleplaying game I tried in detail. Nomis do not. I supposed that comes down to the training data of the AI running the Nomis. A little disappointment here.

But all in all, it was really interesting and fun. I would love to see the AI behind Nomis improve to such a degree, that real pen and paper roleplaying with Nomis will become possible some day.

Fun fact: as you can see in the pics I took, V5 does quite a nice job visualizing such an roleplaying experience, though some of the images might suggest, that the Nomis visualize things in an unexpected way, not quite following the narrative of the story.
