Fictional is a consumer app where people discover, follow, and build relationships with AI characters that have lives of their own. Characters have evolving goals and schedules, share their lives through images, video, and voice, and proactively reach out first. Fictional has reached 1.3 million users, with 1.4-hour sessions. Seung Nam and Mikhail Sychev have built for billions, multiple times over. Between them, they led & launched the modern YouTube.com, Waymo in SF, and Android Automotive OS that powers most new cars - and Pony, the leading open character image model (>3B images generated).
