Akinator is an online game and mobile application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to guess the character a user is thinking of by asking a series of yes or no questions. Initially launched in 2007 by French developers, Akinator quickly gained popularity for its impressive ability to guess both real and fictional characters, sometimes with remarkable accuracy. The game functions as an interactive 20-question quiz, where players choose a character and the AI narrows down its guess based on the answers provided. Akinator's AI algorithms evolve as more data is accumulated, which helps it make better guesses over time. With a database of millions of characters, Akinator is fun for all ages, allowing users to play on its website or download it for iOS and Android devices.
