Development Background
Even if you want to receive blessings or pray to gods and Buddhas, you might wonder, "Where should I pray for what kind of blessings?" Shinbutsu AI was developed as an AI that recommends shrines and temples for such concerns, suggesting where to visit for specific benefits.
Last year, Shinbutsu AI "Unit 0" was operational, but it had issues with ① slow operation and ② an inconvenient UI for embedding within the site. This year, it has evolved significantly, not just solving these problems.
Features of Shinbutsu AI
① Conversational Experience with Original Characters
Users can find shrines and temples suited to their worries by conversing with characters.
There are a total of four characters.
② Chat Screen UI Expressing Real-time Conversation
The output screen features a UI that visually represents a real-time chat conversation. The characters' expressions also change.
③ "All Characters Conversation Mode" for Interacting with Multiple Characters
There is also a mode to consult with all characters at once.
④ Accumulation of 'People's Troubles Big Data'
This generative AI does not acquire personal information, but the worries described by users and the AI's responses are accumulated as data. Past efforts and the newly accumulated data will be analyzed and organized as 'People's Troubles Big Data'. In the future, once enough responses have been gathered, information such as a "ranking of desired blessings" (including dissemination via YouTube, etc.) is planned.
Developer's Voice
"While creating articles and videos, we received many comments about 'searching being troublesome.' Shinbutsu AI aims to provide an experience where you can easily find the shrines and temples you're looking for, more so than any other site, and it has evolved further this year. Please feel free to consult it with your worries first."
