An interactive 1-on-1 video/audio calling app featuring AI-powered anime avatars (Vtubers). It allows fans to have personal conversations with characters that are typically only available via one-way live streams, solving the parasocial interaction gap.

Why now

Vtubing is a multi-million dollar industry; AI now allows these avatars to have autonomous, low-latency conversations with individuals.

Market gap

The scale of live streaming prevents 1-on-1 interaction; AI fills this gap by automating the avatar's personality.
