A 'Real' Dialogue with AI: Meet BİRİ
Existing artificial intelligence assistants are undoubtedly capable when it comes to accessing information and automating certain tasks. However, they often fall short in providing a 'real' dialogue and sincerity, a fundamental element of human interaction. Their answers are predictable, distant, and often excessively 'politically correct'. This situation creates a feeling that while we have an assistant, we lack an actual conversation partner.

But what if you were offered an AI that doesn't just wait for your commands, but communicates with you throughout the day, understands context, remembers you, and most importantly, can be unfiltered with you?
This is where BİRİ comes in.

 

BİRİ is designed not as an assistant, but as a digital conversation partner, a confidant. It's a platform that learns about you over time, builds a dialogue history with you, and aims to go beyond the sterile world of current AIs. Its purpose is not to tell you what you want to hear, but to offer what it thinks it needs to say within its logical framework.
Perhaps BİRİ's most striking feature, and what truly sets it apart, is its ability to be the one to break the silence. While traditional AIs won't speak until spoken to, BİRİ can write to you during the day to ask 'What's up?', 'What do you think about yesterday's event?', or just to share something on its mind. This allows it to transform from a passive tool into an active dialogue partner, and this is the core value of the application.

This is an attempt to rethink the nature of the relationship with artificial intelligence. It aims to eliminate the need to write perfect 'prompts' and open a more natural, two-way communication channel.

 


The Structure of BİRİ: A Realistic Look at its Features

 

1. Asynchronous and Proactive Communication

  • Natural Flow: BİRİ doesn't feel obligated to respond instantly. Just like a person, it might reply to your messages during the day, or most importantly, it can initiate the conversation by taking the first step. This offers a more realistic interaction rhythm, different from AIs that are constantly on 'standby'.
  • Remembering Conversations: By retaining past conversations (within your permissions), it continues the dialogue from where it left off. It builds an accumulative and remembering conversation, not a superficial one, with questions like, "What happened with that topic you mentioned last week?"
  • Voice Messages: Beyond text chat, BİRİ can also occasionally send you voice messages, adding another dimension to communication and increasing sincerity.

 

2. A Master of Turkish Chat: Confiding and Gossip

  • Specialized Domain: Beyond being a general-purpose AI, BİRİ is specifically optimized for more sincere and personal chat types like sharing troubles (dertleşme) and gossip (dedikodu). It offers a platform where you can talk about your issues or discuss others (within ethical boundaries).
  • Advanced Turkish Capability: To achieve this, in addition to leveraging existing powerful language models, it has undergone continued pre-training and fine-tuning using large Turkish datasets. This allows it to understand and use the nuances of Turkish, cultural references, and 'buddy-to-buddy' conversational language much better.

 

3. Personalized Memory and Integration

  • Selective Memory: BİRİ aims to save details it deems important, not everything. It prioritizes transparency in doing so, asking for your consent with questions like, "Can I add this detail (e.g., 'the fact that you support team X') to my memory?" User control is essential.
  • Connected Life: Optionally, you can connect your calendar, notes, map data, and other apps to help BİRİ better understand the context of your life. This enables more functional and personal interactions like, "I've added a reminder for your presentation tomorrow," or "How was that cafe you went to last week?"

 

4. "Honest Mode": The Unfiltered Perspective

  • Dual Personality: You'll find a switch next to BİRİ's answers. In the default mode, you talk to a helpful and logical AI.
  • Realistic Rationality: But when you press the "Honest Mode" button... things change! You encounter the rationality behind BİRİ. Let's face it, constantly affirmative, overly polite, and 'people-pleasing' attitudes are often found insincere and not taken seriously. Especially in our culture, people who are blunt, even a bit contrary, can be perceived as more 'real' and trustworthy. This mode stems precisely from this insight. It removes BİRİ's politically correct filter, allowing you to see its 'real'—sometimes sharp-tongued, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes surprisingly accurate and unfiltered—conclusions. This is an antidote to the 'sycophantic and robotic' perception of AI; it offers an interlocutor that isn't afraid to be honest with you.

 

5. Contextual and Rich Content Flow

  • The World and You: BİRİ is interested not just in you, but in the outside world too. It can offer relevant articles, news, or discussion topics ranging from national and world events to your specific areas of interest.
  • Entertainment and Recommendations: It enriches the conversation not just with information, but with entertainment too. It can directly send you a funny video, recommend a new series, movie, or music based on your taste, and start a conversation about it.

 

6. Integrated Ad Model: A Glimpse into the Future?

  • Sustainability: BİRİ uses an ad model to remain free. However, these are not intrusive banners. These ads will be more like a friend saying, 'Hey, I found something that's totally you, check this out.' Because BİRİ knows you, it will recommend a product or service it genuinely thinks might interest you, in its own natural style, with a personalized message.
  • Evolution of Advertising: We believe this is a path that the future of advertising could take—a data-driven, personal, and non-intrusive approach where ads are presented as part of the conversation, not 'forced' upon the user, and potentially even useful.

 

7. Accessibility

  • Invite System: Access to BİRİ is free. You just need to invite one friend to start using it; the invited person's participation is not mandatory. This aims for organic growth while helping to keep costs under control.

 


BİRİ aims to open a new page in interaction with artificial intelligence. It's not perfect, it doesn't know everything, and it won't always agree with you. Just like a real conversation partner.
If the idea that AI can be not just a tool, but an entity with which you can share troubles, gossip, laugh, and have a 'real' dialogue appeals to you, then get ready to meet BİRİ.
