About Benjamin Franklin
Polymath, Inventor, Diplomat, and Founding Father
Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) was one of the most influential figures in American history. He was not a president—but he was everything else: a statesman, scientist, inventor, writer, printer, philosopher, and diplomat. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence, secured critical French support during the Revolutionary War, and pioneered civic institutions like libraries and fire departments. His experiments with electricity led to inventions like the lightning rod, and his writings, including Poor Richard’s Almanack and The Way to Wealth, are still quoted today for their wit and wisdom.
Now you can speak directly with this Founding Father in AI form—ask about freedom, innovation, personal habits, and the foundations of American life.
