We're building a unified creation studio that empowers users to generate dialogue, audio, and video, effectively automating their digital presence.
Our flagship product, Character-1, launched in late June and has already garnered national attention, landing us on the top of Reddit (multiple times!) and Twitter, while attracting over 450,000 registered users and generating millions of videos.
