Hi hi senpais!
We've been getting positive reactions to the generative AI responses since our latest update. We have Gemini AI to thank for spicing things up!
This update rolled out quickly with our latest patch, but we understand it's important to communicate such updates sooner. Our team will make sure to be more upfront about future changes (don't worry, Estelle threatened us to play nice).
Please keep your feedback, observations, and bug reports coming! Nothing helps us improve like your passion to experiment and break all the things.
What's New
We’ve integrated Gemini AI as the new main model! Our AI companions will now intelligently switch between Gemini and ChatGPT during conversations to deliver the most natural and engaging responses.
itch.io players can still use API keys to switch back to OpenAI as the default if you prefer.
Did anything change behind the scenes?
AI2U's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy haven't changed with this introduction. In short: Your data is safe and Gemini/Google are not using any data for training—learn more about their policies here.
Pricing & Model Sustainability
AI2U's current price will stay the same for now. It may increase as we add new level content, and it will go up at full release. We'll ensure to communicate any anticipated changes to players ahead of time.
As we did with removing the in-game token requirement and switching to a one-time payment on itch.io back in 2024, rest assured that our team is always scheming the next best thing to keep AI2U running for its dedicated senpais.
Fun Fact
AI2U's CN Region version has been using Gemini since its launch on June 18th. After many months of our global community requesting more generative AI options, we're happy to report that Gemini is proving sustainable for our development plan.
WHAT OTHER JUICY SECRETS HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING FROM US
Our CN Region Version's Chinese voice and two of our latest localized builds (German and Russian voice) have been using a different voice model of sorts, also since day 1 of their launch. We'll let you guess what it is before we announce its introduction to AI2U's global version!!
Thanks for adventuring with us during this Early Access journey! We know you're eager for more new gameplay features (When and What is Level 4??), so stay tuned!
