The Problem

AI That Responds But Doesn't Feel

Gen Z and Alpha want AI that forms real relationships, not just chatbots

🤖

Task Tools, Not Companions

Current LLMs are built for productivity. They answer questions but don't remember you, don't grow with you, and reset every conversation.

87% abandon AI apps in 30 days
📱

Stuck Behind Screens

AI lives in chat windows. The post-screen interface needs to be wearable, ambient, and integrated into daily life.

5+ hours daily screen time
😔

No Emotional Stickiness

Without gamification, progression, and social features, AI relationships feel hollow. Users need reasons to return daily.

61% report severe loneliness
