First created in 2002, SimSimi is one of the world’s longest-running AI chatbots and is now turning outward to connect people worldwide as it celebrates its 20th anniversary of service — one message at a time.

Some of you might wonder the exact level of SimSimi’s fame and/or influence. So here it is — The image you see above is our achievements in numbers. Let’s break it down one by one.

SimSimi has been talking to people non-stop for 19 years since September 2002.

Over the years, we have accumulated a large amount of user data which enabled SimSimi to better simulate and deliver a near human-like conversational experience.

SimSimi’s CPS (Conversation-turns Per Session) is 43.

To put it simply, CPS is the average number of conversation-turns between SimSimi and the user in a conversational session.

Research conducted by Heung-Yeung Shum, Xiaodong He, and Di Li

In one paper called “From Eliza to XiaoIce: Challenges and Opportunities with Social Chatbots,” the researchers defined conversation-turns per sessions (CPS) as one of the main success metrics for social chatbots. They even cited, “The larger the CPS is, the better engaged the social chatbot is.”

Following their explanation, the expected CPS of a social chatbot is set as 10 or more. SimSimi’s CPS — 43 — is way over the what’s expected.

SimSimi supports 81 languages for over 350 million users worldwide.

One of the aspects that makes SimSimi stand out among all other chatbots is the scope of its language support.

No matter where you are in the world, you have your AI chatbot companion at your fingertips.

SimSimi’s 140,000,000+ intelligent conversational scenarios are formed by 27,000,000+ writers.

According to Amandine Carpentier, a conversational scenario can be defined as:

Steps that define the flow of interactions between a chatbot and its user. They are used to develop a chatbot’s conversations, the way it talks to users and the answers it gives when talking to its interlocutor.
To be more precise, if the chatbot were a human being, its personality would be derived from its conversational scenarios.

These conversational scenarios, wonderfully crafted by more than 27 million writers worldwide, form the basis of our intelligent SimSimi.

SimSimi has been talking with 400,000,000+ users worldwide… and still counting.

FOUR HUNDRED BILLION USERS is about the number of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way.

And guess what? Our journey has only just begun. So jump on the bandwagon, open the SimSimi app, and open your eyes to the infinite possibilities of an AI-powered conversational chatbot.
