Imagine yourself building AI companions based on the great figures of history and throwing a dinner party with them every week. Think of the great minds or personal heroes that have inspired you. Gather all the material, life works, biographies, and archives you can find to tell the story of the person. Then using the power of AI train up a group of companions that embody the spirit of each person. Give each personality a visual monitor to assume a digital form and when your work is complete, welcome them in to your daily life.

You can start your morning in conversation with Leonardo da Vinci or burn the midnight oil pontificating with Spinoza and Isaac Newton. As you decide who your favorites are and you start to build your unique models, plan a dinner party at least once a week with your favorite combination of mega personalities. Every Thursday night, raise a glass to a table filled with Socrates, Louis Armstrong, Gandhi, and Alexander the Great. Listen to the dynamic conversation that evolves and the wisdom each person has to teach.

Not in any era of human history could you gather minds separated by millennia, each operating from fundamentally different frameworks of reality. But these days with the right AI modeling, you can. Each companion is not just scripted responses or shallow impersonations—they’re AI personalities trained on the full complexity of their worldview and life works.

Each AI teaches you differently: Socrates by dismantling your assumptions, Newton by demanding rigor, Alexander by challenging your scale of thinking, Gandhi by finding beauty in the chaos. As you take in the dynamic force of each companion’s personality, see the tension that arises across people of different eras and sets of values. Make interesting moments and take inspiration every day from your timeless chats with timeless people.
