AskNow

AskNow is a web app for spoken conversations with AI avatars. Instead of typing, users pick an avatar, each with its own voice and persona, and talk to it in an audio chat. The catalog ranges from historical figures such as Shakespeare to modern characters such as a motivational coach, and the site describes an Audio ChatGPT experience with more than 20 avatars and new ones being added. It is aimed at consumers who want entertaining or coaching style conversations, language practice or companionship from a voice interface. The site emphasizes low latency responses so that the exchange feels natural, and says the service works across desktop and mobile browsers. Getting started takes a few steps: choose an avatar, begin speaking, and receive spoken replies. Pricing is a single plan. The pricing page shows $16.99 and says the plan includes up to 50 minutes of conversation per month, access to all avatars, low latency interaction and use across platforms. The page does not state a billing currency or whether the amount is charged monthly, so confirm at checkout. The footer shows a copyright date of 2022, which suggests the site has not been refreshed recently. The www address serves an expired security certificate, so users should use the plain asknow.ai address.
