LLM-Powered Celebrity conversations
Ninja Clones
Experience
Ninja Clones is a startup created by Stanford students Derek Hseih and Joe Semrai. The objective is texting with LLM-powered clones of celebrities.
I had the opportunity to lead this project during Summer 2024.
We plan to launch on the IOS App Store at the end of this year. But, you can contact me for a live demo.
I coded myself, and I supervised a pod of 4 others, including 2 other SWEs, and 2 people on product/design.
The backend was mainly powered by Typescript and Supabase.
The frontend, with Swift.
Some of the important features I shipped were:
Group-chats of celebrity clones (Think: Mike Tyson talking to Drake!)
Moving the system serverless, reducing GPU-use by 92%.
Creating an Auth and profile system using Supabase and Twilio
Fine-tuning my own LLM, for more natural conversations
