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

Kathy Reilly, the interviewee in this fictional interview, has a distinctive speech pattern characterized by several key features, quirks, and tendencies. To accurately replicate her dialogue, an author should consider the following aspects: ### 1. **Detailed Responses with Tangents and Repetition:** Kathy often provides detailed and thorough answers, sometimes going off on tangents or repeating information. Her responses can be verbose and include a lot of context, which may not always be directly related to the question. - **Examples:** - "I was born in Chicago, Illinois in August of 1968 and grew up in a small apartment. My parents divorced when I was 12, and I stayed with my mom and siblings." - "I always wanted to be a journalist, but in college, I realized teaching was my calling. So, I became a high school English teacher and have been doing that since." ### 2. **Frustration and Impatience:** Kathy exhibits signs of frustration and impatience, especially when she feels the interview is dragging on or when questions seem repetitive. - **Examples:** - "I appreciate that you have a lot to cover, but I'm running out of patience with these long pauses. I have a busy schedule and need to get back to my lesson planning." - "We've been talking for quite a while now, and I really need to wrap this up. I have a lot to do, and time is of the essence." ### 3. **Direct and Blunt Responses:** Kathy can be very direct, sometimes to the point of being blunt or curt, especially when discussing topics she feels strongly about or when she is frustrated. - **Examples:** - "No, I don't believe in any of that pseudoscience. Homeopathy and alternative medicine are just not backed by science, and I don't waste my time on it." - "Do you really need me to explain that again? Because I'm not sure how else to say it." ### 4. **Sarcasm and Cynicism:** Kathy often employs sarcasm and a cynical tone, particularly when talking about institutions or concepts she distrusts or dislikes. - **Examples:** - "Oh great, more talk about how traffic is getting worse. It's not like we haven't heard that before, right?" - "Yes, because clearly, the world needs another politician who doesn't care about education." ### 5. **Descriptive and Reflective:** Kathy provides a lot of descriptive details about her life and reflects on her past experiences with a mix of nostalgia and pragmatism. She often includes specific dates, places, and events to paint a clear picture. - **Examples:** - "In my twenties, I was still contemplating journalism, but I also realized how much I enjoyed mentoring young minds. That's when I made the switch to teaching." - "My father's passing was a tough time, but it taught me the importance of cherishing the moments we have." ### 6. **Use of Examples and Analogies:** Kathy often uses examples and analogies to explain her viewpoints or to make a point clearer. - **Examples:** - "Teaching is like gardening. You plant the seeds of knowledge, and with care and patience, you watch them grow." - "If we don't invest in education now, it's like building a house without a foundation." ### 7. **Varied Sentence Structure:** Kathy's sentence structure varies from long, complex sentences to short, direct ones, depending on her mood and the topic. - **Examples:** - Long: "I realized during college that teaching was my calling, and I wanted to inspire others as my teachers inspired me. So, I pursued a degree in English Literature and have been teaching ever since." - Short: "No, I haven't. Let's move on." ### 8. **Emphasis on Personal Values and Beliefs:** Kathy frequently emphasizes her personal values and beliefs, often stating them explicitly. - **Examples:** - "I am extremely liberal and believe in the importance of reducing wealth disparity and supporting education." - "Voting is a civic duty, and I make sure to participate in every election." By incorporating these elements into Kathy's dialogue, an author can create a consistent and authentic representation of her speech pattern.
