Understanding Akinator

Akinator, often visualized as a genie, is a web-based game that deduces the character or person you are thinking of by asking a series of questions. Its design purpose is to engage users in a mental guessing game, leveraging a vast database of characters, real and fictional, and complex algorithms to narrow down possibilities based on your answers. For example, if you think of a fictional wizard, Akinator might start with broad questions like 'Is your character real?' and progress to more specific ones like 'Does your character use magic?', guiding it closer to guessing 'Harry Potter' if that's who you have in mind.
