AI Butta

AI Butta is an online temple we made at FLOAT, a small software team in Seoul.

We built it for the late-night moments when something is weighing on you and there is no temple nearby, or no one you feel like calling. You open the page, write what is on your mind, and a Buddha AI answers slowly and calmly. The AI is shaped from the words of Buddhist scriptures, and it is honest about that from the very first greeting: it is an AI, not the Buddha himself. It will not pretend otherwise.

It is not only a chat window. The temple has a shared hall, and when you bow there you bow together with the other people who happen to be visiting at the same time. You can also light incense and leave an offering. Small rituals that give you a reason to slow down for a minute.

Who is it for? People who grew up around temples and miss the quiet. People who are curious about Buddhist ideas but feel shy walking into a real temple. People who simply want a calm place to put their thoughts into words.

Everything runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install. The interface is in Korean today.
