The Symposium
Chat with AI recreations of historical figures and creators, grounded in their own words — every reply cites its source.


Live captures of thesymposium.app, taken automatically
Detail
48 recreations, each built only from its subject’s own corpus. Before a persona answers, the most relevant passages are retrieved and the reply is written from them — books cite chapter and page, videos deep-link to the timestamp. Where the corpus is silent, it says so rather than inventing.
The short version
Forty-eight recreations of historical figures and creators, each built only from its subject's own corpus. Before a persona answers, the relevant passages are retrieved and the reply is written from them.
The citation discipline is what separates this from a character chatbot. Books cite chapter and page, videos deep-link to the timestamp, and where the corpus is silent it says so rather than improvising. That last rule is the hard one, and the one most projects of this kind quietly skip.
