Hey everyone 
I’ve just launched a new Space:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/paulolden1/432-a-journey-experience
It lets you chat with the three main characters from 432: A Journey Beyond. The full dataset (Italian + English) is available here on Hugging Face as well.
The Space is built with the latest version of Gradio and overall it works fine, but I’m stuck on a couple of UI issues:
-
I’d like the page to automatically scroll to the prompt input box after selecting a character, but I can’t get it to work.
-
On mobile, the active prompt field behaves weirdly — almost like a password field — even though it should just be a normal text input.
If anyone has suggestions on how to fix these, I’d really appreciate it 
Also, if you have a few minutes to try the Space and share feedback as a beta tester, that would be amazing. This is my first time building something like this, and I’m very curious to hear your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!

Auto-scroll issue still not solved, but:
The Space now has a permanent direct URL:

What’s new today:
Visitor tracking — readable by the characters themselves. Every time someone selects a character, the visit is silently logged (timestamp, character, language). The data is stored in a private dataset via HfApi. But here’s the twist: the characters can access this data. Ask Prometheus how many visitors he’s had, and he’ll tell you about “resonant notes in a growing symphony of connections.” Ask John Evans, and he’ll find something unsettling in the patterns. Ask Lin Wei, and she’ll detect “a wave of curiosity propagating” through the data.
A novel written for humans and AIs, whose characters are brought to life by AI models, who can now perceive the humans coming to meet them. The readers become part of the signal. The observers become the observed. There’s something beautifully circular in that.
Share button — a “Share this experience” link is now at the top of the page for easy sharing.
Try it: pick a character and ask them about their visitors. Each one will surprise you differently.
