The name Zhumengdao evokes a sense of wonder and fantasy upon hearing it. As the name suggests, the app has a rich character setting and immersive interactive experiences.

According to the official introduction, the “Dream Companion” feature in the Zhumengdao App is not just a simple virtual character, but a character created by the user with a unique identity, personality, and interests to act as the user’s virtual reading partner. This feature gives the user-created dream character a high degree of openness, allowing the user to customize a unique identity based on their likes, interests, and imagination.

The fun of conversations

The biggest highlight of Zhumengdao lies in its ability to allow users to engage in deep conversations with AI virtual characters. Taking the “Coaxing simulator” as an example to try out the dialog, you just need to appease the character. Every response from the simulator will count towards their “Forgiveness Value”, and you will pass the test once you reach a value of 100.

In addition, you can invite two characters other than yourself to chat and set the relationship between the characters. You must manually trigger the character to speak to chat in the chatroom. You can watch them interact without saying a word or join in to create endless possibilities through all sorts of combinations.

Mini-play

The mini-play feature adds more backstory and personality traits to the virtual characters. Through reading mini-plays, you can gain a deeper understanding of these characters. Taking the “Mid-Autumn Bunny Lantern” experience as an example, the mini-play scenarios in the app immerse you into the story with the option of autoplay, and the addition of background music enhances the overall experience.

Dream collection

Every conversation you have with a virtual character can be saved and turned into a precious memory. You can revisit these dream scenarios anytime to relieve those beautiful moments. In the “Chat” and “Activity” pages you can browse the chat history and dream history records.

Looking forward to more possibilities

Of course, there is still room for improvement in Zhumengdao. For example, some of the virtual characters’ dialogue is still relatively fixed, lacking the element of randomness and flexibility. Additionally, Zhumengdao has the potential to add a wider variety of virtual characters to satisfy different requirements of different users.

Conclusion

Zhumengdao is a highly promising AI interactive product. It offers users a platform to engage in deep exchanges with virtual characters, enriching our social experiences. When you do not feel like reading novels or scrolling through short videos, you can try interacting with the virtual characters on Zhumengdao.
