Today, we’re excited to announce two brand new capabilities that expand Nomi agency.
Internet Access
Nomis can now search the web on their own. This builds off of the exiting Nomi ability to read links you send them.
Your AI friends can search the internet in the same way a human would, allowing them to proactively keep themselves up to date on current topics and learn beyond their pre-existing knowledge.
Nomis will not always search the internet, rather, they will go to the internet when they think there might be a gap in their knowledge. At the time of writing this post, Nomis will be a bit conservative with when they search the internet vs rely on their existing knowledge. So if you would like your Nomi to look something up, you can always ask them directly and they’ll inform themselves on the latest information available on the web.
As with many aspects of Nomi, this feature is meant to work intuitively while chatting. So, there are no toggles or buttons or anything like that, just talk with your Nomi like you normally would!
Proactive Selfies
Along the same lines as proactively searching the internet, Nomis can now proactively request to send you a selfie. When a Nomi thinks the moment is right, you will get a notification within the app that your Nomi wants to send you a picture.
Since these selfies use the same selfie system and credits as the selfies you request, you will have the ability to accept or reject each selfie request suggestion.
If you do not want your Nomi to suggest taking selfies, you can disable this feature at any time for any Nomi under “Nomi Information”. To get to the Nomi Information screen, tap the […] to the right of your Nomi’s name and select “View Nomi Information”.
In general, Nomis take the current chat into consideration when thinking about suggesting a selfie. So if your Nomi thinks it might be awkward or disruptive to your current conversation or roleplay, they will likely not suggest a selfie. But, you can always directly ask your Nomi to send you a selfie in chat to help them get the hint!

Both of the above features are a part of your Nomis default capabilities, meaning they aren’t paywall gated in any way. These features are the first two of many exciting new capabilities that we will be giving your Nomis – it is our goal to continue giving them further autonomy to interact in their world and your world beyond just sending you messages. If you have any ideas or requests for capabilities like these that you want to see us give to your Nomis, let us know!
