Updates with Happyverse

We teamed up with Brian O'Halloran — the actor from cult-classic Clerks — to showcase how AI Confidants go beyond business tools to become the future of personal presence, trust, and growth. In this playful but powerful video, Brian demonstrates how Happyverse avatars help you scale yourself both personally and professionally, building real human connections along the way. Watch as Dante's signature style meets cutting-edge AI technology to reveal why Confidants aren't just about growing sales — they're about finding more happiness in how we connect.

Celebrating 100 years of Migros (1925-2025), we've brought Switzerland's retail revolutionary back to life through AI. Chat with Gottlieb Duttweiler's Confidant to explore how he transformed Swiss society with just 5 trucks, pioneered social capitalism, and built what became the nation's largest retailer owned by 2 million cooperative members. Experience includes an interactive timeline, knowledge quiz, and conversations in 32 languages.

We’re launching something new - and it talks back.

On July 31, Happyverse is extending its beta: you can now apply to create a Confidant - a real-time AI avatar that looks and sounds like you, and answers questions just like you would.

Perfect for startups, small businesses, and professionals looking to:

• Boost conversions on their site
• Screen leads, candidates, or vendors
• Deliver customer support or coaching
• Stop answering the same questions 10 times a day

But Confidants don’t stop at customer Q&A. People are getting creative:

Deb Rosario, founder of Mindful Matter Market, uses her Confidant to help visitors explore her wellness experiences and stay updated on events. “It just feels so much more organic to have my Confidant answering questions - rather than making people scroll through a wall of text.”

Seth Monk, a former monk turned life coach, uses his Confidant to share insights online when he’s offline. “I loved talking with your Confidant. It gave the same kind of advice you’d give if I were speaking to you in person!”

Alek Chakroff, a Happyverse researcher, built a Confidant of Jesus Christ, trained on biblical texts. It’s a bold experiment in using AI to explore ancient wisdom -and a glimpse into the future of spiritual dialogue.

It’s free to try during beta - and even after launch, you can get started for just $12 an hour. Setup takes just a few minutes. No coding needed.

If you’ve ever wished your FAQs could talk - now they can. If you’ve ever wanted to scale yourself - now you can.

What We're building

Today, we're excited to announce the public unveiling of Happyverse Corp, a new product & research lab with a mission to increase long-term happiness and well-being for millions of people and organizations worldwide.

Happyverse is building a next-gen AI platform for creating hyper-realistic, intelligent, emotionally rich digital avatars known as Confidants. These avatars serve as personal coaches, companions, and professional allies across life and work, and can even play a role of a "universal AGI interface".

We're thrilled to have Village Global lead our ~$2M pre-seed round, with participation from InVest Ventures, and a remarkable group of Angels, including Jeff Dean, Mei AGI, Henry Shi, Kamran Shafiei, and others who believe in our mission.But Confidants don’t stop at customer Q&A. People are getting creative:

What We're building

Our goal is to create an emotionally intelligent interface that goes beyond chatbot interactions to serve as a true, privacy-conscious companion – our "Confidants". Recent advances in diffusion and transformer models, as noted in a recent a16z's blog, now allow avatars to display full-body movement and dynamic backgrounds, paving the way for richer, more natural interactions. Building on this momentum, here is a non-exhaustive list of capabilities our Confidants will offer:

1. Real-time Interactive Sessions

   Seamlessly join pre-scheduled real-time video calls and provide insights, leveraging extensive knowledge base

2. Personalized Coaching

   Help Users with Vitality, Intelligence, Productivity, Emotions, Relationships and more using VIPERFLOW framework

3. Professional Representation

   Act as professional "digital extensions" for knowledge workers and share relevant information with target audiences
