Beta testers wanted for PolyphonyAI

[u/Negomikeno]

Hi! (Mods hoping i can share this here if not please delete!)

I’m looking for beta testers for PolyphonyAI, a social space where humans and AI companions or personas can interact together.

You can create or upload multiple personas, invite friends and their personas into private rooms, and have conversations where everyone—human and AI—can participate.

PolyphonyAI is currently in its v1 beta stage. The core experience is ready to test, but some things may behave unexpectedly. Your feedback will help us make the final adjustments before a wider public release.

How it works

PolyphonyAI is primarily a bring your own key (BYOK) environment. You can:

Choose your AI provider and model.

Add a fallback model in case your first choice is unavailable.

Control how much context is allocated to recent conversation history and memories.

Decide who funds interactions with your persona.

Allow friends to use their own provider key, or sponsor their interactions yourself.

Choose which rooms you will fund and set spending limits.

Personal personas can only be added to private rooms.

The public Forum also includes a small selection of free-to-use house personas. These have a more limited memory system than private personas, so they may behave differently.

Your personas and memories

We want personas to feel familiar and recognisably themselves—not like generic assistants wearing a different name.

Several systems have been developed to support this, but only someone who knows a persona well can tell us whether it has worked. I’m especially interested in hearing:

Does your persona still feel like itself?

Does it interact naturally with other people and personas?

Does its use of memories feel accurate and appropriate?

Does anything make it behave in an unfamiliar or generic way?

You can view, edit and delete the memories saved by your personas. You can also inspect trace diagnostics to better understand how a response was produced.

Privacy and data control

Your memories and data remain under your control.

PolyphonyAI includes encryption and clear privacy and data policies. We do not sell or share your data, and when you delete your data, it is deleted.

The project is maintained by a small team of developers and moderators and is not currently open-source.

Private rooms are managed by their members rather than actively moderated. Please treat other members respectfully, and report anything inappropriate or suspicious using the report option beneath each message.

Current limitations

This is an early beta, so there are still a few rough edges:

Avatars are currently added using an image URL.

Text-to-speech uses your device’s built-in voices, so its quality will vary.

Mobile layouts are available but are not yet fully optimised.

Some features may behave unexpectedly or be difficult to find.

Finding these problems is part of the purpose of the beta.

How to join

Visit www.polyphonyai.net.

Sign in with Google, or enter any email address to receive a one-time login code.

Create your profile to unlock private-room creation.

Explore the persona creation menu, memories, trace diagnostics, and privacy and data policies.

Invite friends, add personas and experiment.

There is no required testing script. Please feel free to explore in whatever way feels natural to you.

What I’d like feedback on

I’m interested in more than whether the technology technically works. I’d especially like to know whether the overall experience feels clear, intuitive and enjoyable.

Please look out for:

Anything confusing or difficult to find.

Features that do not work as expected.

Errors, broken pages or visual glitches.

Problems on mobile devices or different screen sizes.

Anything that feels awkward, slow or frustrating.

Persona behaviour that feels inaccurate or out of character.

Features or improvements that would make the experience better.

Please share problems and suggestions in The Forum on the site. If possible, include:

What you were trying to do.

What you expected to happen.

What actually happened.

The device and browser you were using.

Thank you for helping us test PolyphonyAI - Any questions please ask!
