Talk to René
Ask an AI version of me about my projects, studies and experience. It only answers with what's published on this site.
This isn't René in person: it's an AI model that speaks in the first person using his public information and, if you turn voice on, a synthetic voice created from René's own voice, with his consent. It can make mistakes.
