Ask Amina
Exploring the Future of Interactive Personas
We welcome you to experience a special 3 minute conversation with each avatar. After 3 minutes you will be automatically logged out.
Amina is a woman living in the overcrowded Metche refugee camp in Chad, where she represents one of over a million Sudanese refugees fleeing the conflict in Darfur. Her digital replica, “Ask Amina,” is designed to provide realistic insights into the daily challenges and urgent needs faced by displaced people, such as water and food shortages. This synthetic “persona” may potentially enable humanitarian workers to better understand the lived experiences of refugees, using data curated from local surveys, cultural artifacts, and community knowledge.

Ask Abdalla
Abdalla is a commander of a Rapid Support Forces (RSF) unit operating near El Geneina, Sudan. His avatar counterpart, “Ask Abdalla,” simulates the behavior and decision-making patterns of an actual combatant, offering negotiators and mediators a possible tool to train for future high-stakes negotiations. Abdalla’s synthetic “persona” models local power dynamics, shifting territorial control, and de facto governance structures, potentially aiding peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts through informed dialogue simulations.
