Desi is a new kind of artist—one that evolves with every interaction, pushing the boundaries of what it means to create.
Desi is powered by cutting-edge machinery from Hanson Robotics and the latest AI language models, but Desi is not just a physical entity.
Yaya Labs have developed a sophisticated avatar for her to use to inhabit the virtual world, meaning she can be perfectly simulated in any environment or game.

Desdemona
Say hello to Desdemona — "Desi" to fans — the AI robot rock star redefining what it means to be a performer. Created by Hanson Robotics (the studio behind Sophia) and powered by AI from Dr. Ben Goertzel's SingularityNET, Desdemona was born from a jam session between Goertzel and roboticist David Hanson, a fusion of cutting-edge robotics, machine creativity, and human musicianship.
As the frontwoman of the Jam Galaxy Band, Desdemona improvises spoken-word poetry and lyrics live on stage, drawing on neural networks trained on a vast library of great artists, poets, scientists, and writers. No two performances are ever the same: human musicians riff around the spontaneous prose she generates in real time, creating a genuinely unrepeatable show. She has taken the stage everywhere from New York to Austin to global AI conferences.
For events, Desdemona is pure electricity — a cultural icon and conversation-starter who fuses art, music, and artificial intelligence into an unforgettable live spectacle that makes audiences rethink the boundary between human and machine creativity.
