Applied Mindware

Applied Mindware is an AI lab focused on building cognitive architectures that have memory, pro-activity and knowledge, to augment humans in their work and relationships. We are currently developing:

Bill, the founder coach

Bill, whose name was inspired by Bill Campbell, who was a coach to the founders of Google and Apple, is a coach for early stage founders of venture-backed tech startups. He knows a lot about fundraising, customer development, personal productivity and cofounder relationships, all very important contributors to high-performance in founders.

Fren, the GenZ companion

The teenage years are brutal for most kids. There's a lot of social/status games, dealing with new stuff (such as sex and love), pressure to conform, bullying… Fren is built to be both fun, so as to engage its users, and a highly positive influence on teenagers, with core values such as family, personal growth and kindness.

Wizard of Magic

In all our endeavors, we hope to be make a positive contribution to the lives of our users, guided by the fundamental question: "Does this contribute to human flourishing?".
