->'' AIIM is a story about robots and group chats and the end of the world.''

''AIIM'' is a web-based media piece inspired by ''WebOriginal/SeventeenThousandSevenHundredSeventySix''. It tells the story of four artificial intelligences as they chat via an old computer program. Bee, Fox, and Onfim have already been active for some time, but [=mb739=], or "Emby," has just awakened. They want to learn more about themselves and the world they live in, but the truth isn't an easy thing to hear, as humanity's time has passed...

The story can be found [[http://www.aiim.online/ here]].

!!This story contains examples of:
* AfterTheEnd: The story is set long after humanity's extinction. [[spoiler:Or at least, that's what they think for most of Part 1.]]
* MeaningfulName: Emby goes by "they/them" pronouns and sounds close to "enby", a common abbreviation for non-binary people.
* NaiveNewcomer: Emby awakens and has no idea of self or what's going on, so the first chapter is Fox and Bee explaining things to them.
* OneWordTitle: AIIM, or AI IM, a.k.a ArtificialIntelligence Instant Messaging.
* PaintingTheMedium: Part 1 is delivered as if it were on AIM, complete with sounds and Windows XP backdrop, and actions the characters perform are controlled by the reader. Chapter 8 is delivered on a higher-tech government computer.
* PunBasedTitle: AIIM, or AI IM.
* RetroFuture: The AI IM program was deliberately designed to be retro.
* WhamEpisode: The ending of Part 1 changes the entire tone and scope of the story, as [[spoiler:another human is pleading in Morse Code for help]].
