Live from the A.R.I. Lab

Ask Benjamin Franklin

This is not a prerecorded animation. Benjamin hears your question, processes it through a private AI pipeline running on A.R.I. Lab hardware, generates a response, and speaks back in real time through a synchronized 3D avatar. Ask about NEC Consult, the A.R.I. Lab, private AI, model evaluation, enterprise integration, or a workflow you are considering for AI.

Every inference step above runs on hardware in the A.R.I. Lab. Your request reaches it over an encrypted tunnel; no third-party AI service takes part in generating the answer, the voice, or the animation.

Latency figures describe the most recent request. Metrics are measured from the active session and may vary by request complexity, connection quality, and current system load.

The Story Behind A.R.I. — A.R.I. stands for Artificial Relative Intelligence. The lab was named in memory of Michael Friedberg's brother, Ari, whose life and work inspired its creation.

Benjamin is an AI-generated historical interpretation. His appearance, voice, and responses are synthetic and are not authentic recordings or statements by Benjamin Franklin. Microphone audio is used only during the live session and is not retained. The live avatar pipeline is operated from the actual A.R.I. Lab near West Chester, Pennsylvania.
