The Conversational Frontier
Frontier models are judged on exams and code. A personal agent is judged on whether you keep coming back to it. So we put Dachi-1.0 up against the frontier on what a conversation is made of.
- 01Do people text back?
- 02Do they keep talking?
- 03Does it answer in seconds, like a person?
- 04Can it afford to always be there?

One text, three replies
Dachi-1.0 is tuned to be delightful to text. It reacts the way a person would, matches your energy and keeps the thread going. Frontier models fall back on the assistant script: a congratulations, a feelings check and an offer to help.
