With
Szymon, we created
an interactive world where AI-powered characters live out their daily
lives. These characters can perform various actions (voting,
conversing, giving speeches) in pursuit of their goals. Users can
immerse themselves in scenarios like the Harry Potter universe or
simulate the 2024 election with characters including Kamala Harris,
Donald Trump, and Pennsylvania voters.

software providers to incorporate AI features such as Q&A over

aspects of their product, whether it’s a customer-facing chatbot or a
copilot tool for agents. We got
some customers
and were accepted into the
Pioneer acceleration program.
