Roman Mazurenko was start-up entrepreneur and star of the Moscow Boheme before he died in a car accident.
However, for his friends he is still alive, somehow.
Because Roman is now a bot.

But, simply think that if you were given a chance to talk to them again?
What if you are able to touch the shadow of a person after he or she is late?
big lame board (not mine!)

but a beautiful picture.
What if the bot learns how to write a novel?
On May 24, 2016, published the novel Kuyda-Bot on Facebook.

Who wants to chat with him, can do this via the Luka app.
Recently, he can not only select sets but also composed new.
This works surprisingly well, as many of his friends actually feel to write with her late friend.

It helps them to overcome their grief.
For some, it has become a place to talk about their problems.
Some friends showed however disturbed by Kuydas project.

Both reactions are understandable.
The idea to chat with an AI version of a deceased friend is equally creepy, fascinating and challenging.
She throws according to a number of difficult issues.

Who actually determines via the digital legacy of a dead?
Eugenia Kuyda does not share these concerns.
They developed the bot and he helped her to process the grief.
For me, its more about to send a message in a bottle than to receive one.
