Jack Dorsey’s Block Unveils Dessa AI Model for Human-Like Offline Conversations

Block, the company founded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, has unveiled a new artificial intelligence model called Dessa, aimed at making conversations with AI more natural.

The model is presented as capable of speaking in a human-like way and operating without an internet connection, combining conversational interaction with offline access.

Its stated goal is to make exchanges with artificial intelligence feel closer to everyday conversation. The brief announcement, however, did not explain how the model achieves that or provide examples of its responses.

Details about the devices Dessa supports, its availability and the scope of its offline capabilities were not included. Those points remain important to understanding how users would access and interact with the model.
