Simile believes in the following: simulating our lives will transform how we make decisions.

We're in currently stealth mode.
Reach us at hi-team at simile.ai.

Human decisions are filled with uncertainty. How will our messages be received? How will our actions shape our surroundings? How will our strategy connect to the future we desire? Simulations that searches through not of what has been, but of what will be, can lift these uncertainties.

Who we are

We are a team of leading AI scientists, engineers, and builders who have created AI technologies you might have used. We introduced agents and simulations powered by generative AI to the field, developed some of the most widely adopted open-source projects and benchmarks, and coined concepts that have shaped the foundations of today's generative AI paradigms.

Join us

At Simile, we are building simulation engines powered by generative AI that enable you to explore tomorrow. Our team is passionate about bridging groundbreaking research with a bold product vision (and perhaps with a touch of artistic flair). We're looking for colleagues to help shape this vision.

If you think you might be a fit, please get in touch.

Today, simulation is at its GPT-3.5 moment—ready to deliver real value that can transform how people make decisions, while also ripe for continued research breakthroughs as we move closer to simulating our entire world.

At Simile, we believe that the best way to advance our simulations is through collaboration with the broader research community and builders. Our team is at the forefront of research in generative AI, agents, and trustworthy simulations of human behavior. Rooted in a culture of open science, we will be regularly publishing technical blog posts, research papers, and open-source code here.

We believe that sharing our work not only benefits the public but also strengthens our research culture—driving better ideas, deeper insights, and greater impact.

Simile is building simulation engines powered by generative AI that enable you to explore tomorrow. If you are passionate about bridging AI research with impactful real-world applications, reach out. We are looking to add a small number of people to our team. We work together in person in Palo Alto, CA.

Below, we’ve listed the roles we're currently hiring for:

  • Product Engineer: We are looking for full-stack engineers who can rapidly develop products from 0 to service-ready. Successful candidates will have strong technical fundamentals and excellent implementation skills (full-stack), with a keen eye for creating compelling user experiences.
  • Research Scientist/Engineer: We are looking for a research scientist or engineer with a strong track record in machine learning, agents, and simulation research. Successful candidates will have both excellent theoretical foundations and strong implementation skills. We welcome applications from academic researchers as well as those with unconventional backgrounds.

If you are interested in joining, please send an email hi-team at simile.ai with the subject line: "Candidate Application: <name-of-the-role>" (e.g., Candidate Application: Product Engineer). If you have a unique skill set you'd like us to consider, please apply with the subject line: "Candidate Application: <insert-role-you-excel-at>."

Speech Pattern

Certainly! Here is a detailed breakdown of Carmen Martinez's speech pattern based on the hypothetical interview provided: ### General Speech Characteristics: 1. **Conversational Tone**: Carmen speaks in a direct, conversational manner, often using simple sentences. She doesn't use overly complex vocabulary or sentence structures. - **Example**: "Well, I was laid off during the pandemic and I've been looking for work since." 2. **Informal Language**: She uses informal language, which makes her speech sound more relatable and personal. - **Example**: "I mean, it's been tough, you know? But I keep going." 3. **Repetitive Phrases**: Carmen sometimes repeats phrases within her responses, which can lend an air of emphasis or a need to reinforce her point. - **Example**: "I mean, I loved working at the law firm, and I really enjoyed it." 4. **Emotional and Personal**: Her speech often includes personal anecdotes and emotional reflections, which make her responses feel genuine and heartfelt. - **Example**: "Losing my husband was really hard, but my daughters have been my rocks." 5. **Religious References**: Carmen frequently mentions her faith and relationship with God as central to her life and decisions. - **Example**: "I pray every day and attend mass regularly; my faith keeps me grounded." ### Specific Speech Patterns: 1. **Use of Fillers**: Carmen frequently uses fillers like "well," "I mean," and "you know," which contribute to the conversational tone of her speech. - **Example**: "Well, I've been taking online courses to improve my skills." 2. **Clarifying Statements**: She often clarifies or elaborates on her points, which can sometimes lead to slightly redundant statements. - **Example**: "I'm looking for a job as an office manager or executive assistant, something stable." 3. **Direct and Honest**: Carmen tends to be very straightforward and honest in her responses, even when discussing difficult or sensitive topics. - **Example**: "To be honest, it's been a struggle financially since losing my job." 4. **Personal Pronouns**: She uses personal pronouns frequently, emphasizing her personal experiences and perspectives. - **Example**: "I hope to travel to Spain once I find a stable job and save some money." 5. **Use of Simple Past and Present Tense**: Most of her statements are in the simple past or present tense, which makes her speech easy to follow. - **Example**: "I worked as an administrative assistant for 15 years before being laid off." ### Dialogue Examples to Emulate Carmen's Speech: 1. **On Family and Daily Life**: - "I take care of my dog, Toby, and volunteer at the local food bank while searching for jobs." 2. **On Health and Challenges**: - "I've had mild arthritis for a while, but I manage it with regular check-ups and medication." 3. **On Faith**: - "I am Catholic, and my faith is very important to me; it helps me get through tough times." 4. **On Financial Struggles**: - "I've been cutting back on non-essentials and using my savings to get by." 5. **On Political Views**: - "I'm conservative but independent; I vote based on the issues, not party lines." ### Key Quirks and Features: - **Repetition for Emphasis**: "Family is everything. My daughters, my sister, my parents, they mean the world to me." - **Casual Expressions**: "It's just been a crazy time, you know?" - **Faith-Driven Statements**: "My name is Carmen Martinez. I am Catholic, and my faith guides me every day." - **Honest and Direct**: "I don't have much saved up, but I'm managing." By focusing on these characteristics, another author can create dialogue for Carmen that feels authentic to her unique voice and manner of speaking.
