In-depth educational content on a wide range of topics. Research done with the help of artificial intelligence, and presented by two AI-generated hosts. Note: Unlike a Text-to-Speech (TTS) service, the experimental AI responsible for the virtual hosts develops an independent understanding of the input information before generating them. The resulting voices are not of the same quality as those from ElevenLabs and similar services. However, its ability to generate dialogues between two virtual hosts is a unique feature.
