Socrates and Machiavelli, Karl Marx and Freud… pick the topic or start a surprise session; guests are enriched live with their Wikipedia summary and photo, and speak in the tone of their era. Add anyone not on the list by name or by Wikipedia link. There are two modes: Deep debates and Casual chats.

Real panel-show dynamics are built in: when tension peaks a speaker cuts the other off, and the audio really stops; if you don’t step in, you can choose "let them fight it out". A ratings meter tracks the heat, and at the end the most controversial moment and the most talkative guest are announced. Guests can lose their temper and walk off the set.

As the host you give the floor, steer, stop, or change the topic; what you type goes in once the current sentence ends, and a guest you call by name answers. Stay silent for three minutes and the session pauses with steering questions.

Every guest has a distinct HD voice; when the daily quota runs out, or without your own key, it falls back seamlessly to the browser voice. Sessions are saved, resumed later, shared, and watched in a gallery of published sessions. Content safety has two layers: a rule-based filter and an AI check. No sign-up, no account.
