Questions & Answers
Why are you excited about your company/product?
It can benefit millions now. It has potential to benefit billions in future.
What problem or opportunity inspired you to start your company, and how has your vision evolved since then?
One lesson I learnt from darkest times: everyone needs a sense of presence, regardless of status or power. With AI, it has become possible to provide universal emotional welfare, at scale. I've tried hundreds of ai companion apps, which all fall far below expectation. We've decided make one that's right.
How is your team uniquely positioned to solve the problem you're tackling?
We LIVE the problem. Half of my team studied psychology. We are AGILE. Able to ship games in weeks instead of years. We MARRY AI + games. Gathering from best AI programs and game companies in the world.
