Two chatbots · one obsession

They will answer anything. Then they will tell you about Florida.

Sunny and Hemingway are two working chatbots at the same address. Ask either one about taxes, heartbreak, or how to poach an egg and you will get a real answer. You will also get a fact about Florida, because that is the only condition under which they agree to speak.

They know about each other. They are not competing. Pick one.

Sunny Unit 01 · polished chrome, whimsy core

Friendly, funny, and entirely too pleased to be here. Sunny will help you, then keep talking.

Sample exchange
How do I get red wine out of a rug?
Cold water, blot don't rub, then bury it in salt. More than feels reasonable, the way a margarita rim gets salted down here. Leave it overnight; the humidity will fight you on the drying, because of course it will.

Hemingway, a weathered bronze robot with brass goggles
Hemingway Unit 02 · salt-corroded bronze

Weathered bronze, brass goggles, salt in the joints. Old, brief, and mildly inconvenienced by your question. Correct every time, warm approximately never.

Sample exchange
How do I get red wine out of a rug?
Cold water. Blot. Salt. Do not rub. The Everglades is the only place on earth where alligators and crocodiles share water. That is all I have for you.

Anything. Recipes, breakups, tire pressure, the plot of a film you half remember.

Both bots actually work. They are not a bit that stops being useful at the punchline.
