GlasgowGPT is a chatbot built specifically to converse in authentic Glaswegian dialect and culture: users can ask about local landmarks, daily life, or nearly anything else, and get responses enriched with genuine Scottish slang, humor, and cultural references specific to Glasgow, powered by OpenAI’s language models guided by specialized prompting rather than a generic assistant persona.
Community-driven refinement, particularly through feedback from Reddit, is what keeps the dialect and personality genuinely authentic rather than a stereotyped or generic attempt at a regional accent – actual Glaswegians correcting and shaping the bot’s responses over time produces something meaningfully more accurate than a one-time prompt-engineering effort by a single developer guessing at local speech patterns. The intentionally opinionated, humorous personality also makes it distinct from a neutral, generic AI assistant wearing a regional-accent costume.
GlasgowGPT was created by David Hewitson, a self-taught developer, launching in mid-2023 under A1 SEO Glasgow Ltd. It’s free to use, kept online through donations that disable ads for supporters.
