Who (or what) is BBO Ben?
Ben is an AI bridge player trained on hundreds of millions of deals played on BBO, mostly in ACBL-sanctioned games. Trained on bridge hands played by humans, Ben has learned to make more human-like leads and is more likely to bid like you're used to, avoiding bidding misunderstandings. Try playing with BBO Ben and let us know what you think here.
