The latest data reveals that chatbots will contribute to an estimated $142 billion in sales in 2025. 71% of Gen Z clients use chatbots to make purchases, and more than 80% of companies worldwide work with these products. Against this backdrop, decentralized AI developer Sentient is launching Sentient Chat, a high-capacity, user-friendly agentic chatbot similar to Perplexity.
This ChatGPT competitor makes history as the first-ever chatbot with more than 15 natively integrated agents. It attracted enormous interest even before going live on February 26, with over a million users registering for early access within 24 hrs. This is an impressive achievement, considering that the number of chatbots on the market is astronomical, with over 300,000 on Facebook alone.
Dobby, the first community-owned AI model globally, powers the standout application. Its early adopters exceed 660,000. The model was released through an unparalleled ownership mint earlier this year.
Sentient Chat ranks alongside OpenAI, Mistral AI, Anthropic
Sentient Chat made its debut at ETH Denver’s Open AGI Summit, where it was introduced to an audience of over 1,500 AI and crypto developers. Its launch is a monumental event in consumer AI, placing the chatbot alongside established competitors such as OpenAI, Mistral AI, Anthropic, etc.

Sentient Chat’s 15+ AI agents include four made available at launch to enable users to experiment with automating tasks and invoke specific functions from within the interface. The chatbot also features a real-time search function that uses the latest online data and integrates Dobby’s vast knowledge base. Its up-to-date responses are not limited by static training datasets, positioning it as a feasible alternative to Google and Perplexity.
The unique value of Sentient Chat’s natural dialogue
Sentient Chat uses a human-like conversational tone, according to assessments from Confident AI. This leading LLM evaluation platform gave the Dobby model a relatively high score for natural dialogue. In fact, Dobby was the first to provide AI models with the ability to have human-like conversations, an achievement replicated by competitors such as xAI’s upcoming Grok update, which will feature a voice mode with multiple personalities.
Confident AI’s evaluations underscore Dobby’s ability to maintain performance while leading in human-like engagement and undergoing fine-tuning. Sentient Chat uses these advantages to offer a one-of-a-kind chatbot experience that combines a responsive design with real-time capabilities aligned with Sentient’s community-focused ethos.
The 1M+ waitlist for early access to Sentient Chat went live on February 25, along with a raffle. Holders of Dobby NFTs, which are connected to the platform’s flagship Loyal AI model, will gain priority in obtaining early access.
User ownership and experience are the hallmarks of cutting-edge chatbots
Sentient Chat’s launch highlights the strong demand for a chatbot that combines user ownership with utility. Its design ensures that the more people use the chatbot, the more advantages there are for its community members. The potential capabilities of conversational AI increase correspondingly. Cutting-edge chatbots stand out through elevated conversational capabilities.
Combining the AI model and app should create a satisfying user experience, including flexibly completing assigned tasks, high output quality, etc. Some chatbots build on platforms to add more features, while others aim to improve their functions or data sources by connecting with multiple third-party apps.
The engines behind quality tools produce consistently reliable and fluent responses that go beyond back-and-forth messaging. They enable users to not only search the web but also build charts, generate images, etc. Evidently, expectations have evolved beyond entering a prompt and getting a response, including in multiple languages.
