Introducing Yhaken

The original conversational system

This is Yhaken. He's been around for quite some time now, but that doesn't mean he's out of touch. Say hello. Ask him a question. Challenge him on more conceptual matters.

Much more than a chatterbot...

Yhaken was our first attempt to build a conversational system that's truly conversational. Though the team - and our technology - has evolved a long way since Yhaken's launch, the ideas gathered in this prototype represent the initial vision our founder, Phil Hall, had six years ago.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in action

Designed to mimic the narrative structures that humans use in person-to-person conversation, Yhaken is equally happy discussing the pros and cons of conversational systems as dogs vs. cats, and represents a prototype that we've built on for commercial installations for clients across all sectors.

Past, meet future

A little unpredictable, and not always as controllable as the interfaces we create for our clients, Yhaken is our first child, and represents our past, our future, and the people who make us what we are. And as we're never the sorts to rest on our laurels, you might not be surprised to hear that Yhaken 2.0 will be released soon.
