Meet The AI Agent With Multiple Personalities


A new AI agent from the startup Simular switches between different AI models depending on the task at hand.

Li, who was a researcher at Google DeepMind before founding Simular in 2023, explains that large language models excel at planning but aren’t as good at recognizing the elements of a graphical user interface. Victor Zhong, a computer scientist at the University of Waterloo in Canada and one of the creators of OSWorld, believes that future big AI models may incorporate training data that helps them understand the visual world and make sense of graphical user interfaces. To prepare for this column, I used Simular to book flights and scour Amazon for deals, and it seemed better than some of the open source agents I tried last year, including AutoGen and vimGPT.
