Over the last decade, we’ve seen content platforms evolve alongside technology, transforming how people consume information about the world.

What started out in physical print morphed into online publications. Information once controlled by an elite few gave way to citizen journalists and casual experts who now create much of the content we experience every day across top social platforms.

Now, the world is ready for the next great transformation to an age of AI-generated content!

Introducing PAI News

This month, at Consensus 2019 (the largest annual blockchain and cryptocurrency conference) ObEN unveiled our PAI News App. PAI News is a unique, first-of-its-kind content platform that allows users to create content delivered by AI Anchors completely powered by ObEN’stechnology. For the initial launch, ObEN has partnered with notable names including renowned Silicon Valley law firm Fenwick & West, global business school Insead, leading crypto exchange Huobi, and our collaborators at Project PAI to provide a wide range of news, technology, legal, and financial content for the app. We encourage everyone to download and explore the app, available for iOS and Android, on painews.com.

Meet Satoshi — The World’s First AI News Anchor

The first anchor on PAI News is named Satoshi — an homage to Bitcoin’s mysterious founder. Satoshi was created using ObEN’s Personal AI (PAI) technology, with all voice and facial animation driven by AI. Unlike other videos of AI Anchors, Satoshi is the first AI made available for real-time content delivery on a smartphone. We also plan to expand PAI News with even more PAI Anchors, celebrity PAIs, and eventually even open the platform to allow users to create their own PAI Anchors to present content they create.

You can watch Satoshi’s speech about our vision for the app in this video.

PAI Takes the Stage with HuaChuang

In other exciting news, ObEN has been selected by HuaChuang Securities, one of China’s largest securities brokerage services, as the technology provider for its new customer service chatbot.

HuaChuang selected ObEN’s technology to give their chatbot the personalized human touch

Using our Personal AI technology, we gave HuaChuang’s pre-existing chatbot system a makeover, providing a friendly face and human voice that can interact with customers in real-time, with market info, industry projections, as well as general support. HuaChuang named their new Financial Services PAI “Little E”, debuting him at China’s International Big Data Industry Expo. HuaChuang will continue to leverage ObEN’s AI technology, along with the power of 5G connectivity, to continually improve and grow “Little E”. We are excited to bring “Little E” and more PAIs like him to consumers. Many of the industry attendees were very impressed by our work with HuaChuang, and are eager to work with ObEN to “hire” their own PAI associate!
