This talk is about what it feels like to be a bot developer on the cutting edge of putting AI into bot brains. A bit like the fictional Frankenstein project, my team injects the organic, voice-based personality of an avatar into a Mixed Reality shape: be it a hologram, a robot, a VR or AR experience. Amalia, our first public facing pilot in a shopping centre in Cologne proactively made shopping suggestions and gave tips on where to get nice gifts. I will present findings from our experiment featuring Amalia's growing sense of humor.
