It works in three steps: a tool-calling agent researches a person on the web, the persona answers ten open-ended philosophical questions, and each answer is converted to embeddings. These embeddings allow side-by-side comparison of multiple personas via a trait-leaning heatmap with ten dimensions (curiosity, skepticism, humor, etc.). The project deliberately avoids objective benchmarks, focusing instead on stylistic divergence. It runs on small hosted models via Hugging Face Inference Providers with a Gradio frontend. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
