Unusable for me in its current stateI asked for a 3D model of a human heart, it gave me multiple models of hearts, multiple models of pewter mugs or something, and pictures and pages of stuff I didn't ask for. I asked the avatar to change from male to female, but the female kept using the male voice, and vice versa. I tried giving the avatar prompts to influence it's behavior but the instructions were ignored or instantly forgotten. The avatars speak over me and don't allow me to finish a thought before they offer me unwanted suggestions for further study that are sometimes irrelevant or unrelated. In the end, I shut down the app in frustration.

Hi Andy,
Thank you for trying out CuriosityXR and for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations—it sounds frustrating, and I deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Here’s some context on the issues you mentioned and how we’re addressing them:
Irrelevant Results for 3D Models: The AI can occasionally "hallucinate" and include unrelated models or content. Improving the accuracy of these results is one of our top priorities, and we're actively working on refining the system to better match your requests.
Avatar Voice Switching: The avatar’s voice should update correctly when changing between male and female. Occasionally, there may be a single monologue using the old voice before it fully switches to the new one. I’ll investigate this further to ensure a smoother experience.
Prompt Memory and Responsiveness: We’re aware of the limitations in the avatar’s ability to retain and adapt to instructions. Enhancing its memory and responsiveness is a focus for future updates. While our aim is to offer a high-quality experience at a one-time cost rather than a subscription model, I understand this can feel limiting compared to premium AI services. The app will continue to improve over time.
Avatars Speaking Over Users: If Alex is interrupting or speaking over you, there’s a simple trick—just raise your hand, and Alex will stop talking immediately. This feature is a fun way to take control of the conversation, and I hope it helps improve your experience.
I know it can be disappointing when things don’t work as expected, and I genuinely appreciate your patience as we work to make CuriosityXR better.
