AndThen is a voice-first platform that makes conversations with AI characters something you do: games, challenges, and episodic stories with real goals.

AndThen is a voice-first platform built to spin up daily interactive experiences across genres and repeatable formats. From game shows to mysteries to character-driven stories, every experience is designed to be short, episodic, and replayable. Our tech stack supports multi-agent voice interactions and narrative guardrails, allowing us to expand into new game types quickly while keeping conversations coherent, engaging, and fun. We bring deep experience in media, entertainment, and technology. The founding team includes the former showrunner of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongside leaders in AI and interactive media. That mix gives us unique insight into how to craft formats that people return to every day. Not just experiments, these are repeatable shows and challenges that feel familiar, fun, and scalable. Our vision is to build the platform for voice-first interactive entertainment at scale. We’re onboarding creators, writers, celebrities, brands, and IP holders to launch new formats on AndThen, and our roadmap includes opening the platform so any user can create and publish their own. Think of it as “AI Audio Roblox”... a consumer hub where players come back daily to talk, play, and share conversations that actually do something.

CEO at AndThen

Gavin Purcell

I’m Gavin Purcell, CEO of And Then and former showrunner of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. I’ve spent my career creating formats that reach millions, and now I believe the future of entertainment won’t be passive... it will be interactive and voice-first. AndThen is built to let real human creators design experiences where AI characters have goals and stories, and players have something to do. We’re merging human creativity with AI to power the next wave of interactive entertainment, beginning in audio and extending to AR/VR and beyond.
