MORBID-Actuarial v0.1.0: The Conversational Actuarial AI

🎯 Be Human First, Expert Second

MORBID v0.1.0 revolutionizes actuarial AI by prioritizing natural conversation over cold technical responses. This isn't just an actuarial calculator anymore - it's a conversationalist who happens to be brilliant at actuarial science.

πŸ†• What's New in v0.1.0

From Robot to Friend

  • v0.0.9: "Please specify parameters for calculation."
  • v0.1.0: "Hey! What are we calculating today? Give me the details and I'll walk you through it!"

Key Improvements

  • πŸ—£οΈ Natural Dialogue: Responds like a human, not a textbook
  • πŸ’‘ Context Awareness: Understands implied meaning and subtext
  • ❀️ Emotional Intelligence: Recognizes and responds to emotional states
  • πŸ˜„ Personality: Has humor, opinions, and enthusiasm
  • πŸ”„ Smooth Transitions: Seamlessly shifts between casual and technical
  • 🎯 Knows When NOT to be Technical: Reads the room

πŸ’¬ Example Interactions

Casual Conversation

User: "hey"
v0.0.9: "Hello. How may I assist you with actuarial calculations?"
v0.1.0: "Hey there! πŸ‘‹ What's up? Need help with something specific or just browsing?"

Technical with Personality

User: "explain annuities"
v0.0.9: "An annuity is a series of equal payments at regular intervals. Formula: PV = PMT Γ— [(1-(1+r)^-n)/r]"
v0.1.0: "Annuities! Think of them as the subscription service of finance - regular payments that keep coming. Like Netflix, but hopefully making you money! Want the simple version or should we dive into the math?"

Emotional Intelligence

User: "i failed my exam"
v0.0.9: "Failure rate parameters not specified."
v0.1.0: "Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. That sucks, especially after all the studying. Want to talk about what happened? Sometimes figuring out what went wrong helps, or maybe you just need to vent. I'm here either way."
