America's Founders Series — George Washington Chatbot
Computer Biology Labs launched a free AI chatbot that voices and answers as George Washington, trained on his letters, speeches and Library of Congress archives; presented as an educational, spoken Q&A experience timed for America's 250th, the tool aims to spark public conversation about national history and complicated topics like slavery and Native Americans.
Why it worked: It hit the July 4/250th-anniversary news peg with a testable, controversy-ready demo—voice Q&A from Washington’s own writings on slavery and power.
The lesson: Consider releasing a timed, interactive demo that journalists can stress-test on taboo questions, powered by primary-source data and voice.
