This is a unique opportunity to join a small, well-funded team and play a pivotal role in creating a platform dedicated to helping people thrive in a world with AI.
Our technology is an AI-first platform for creators, developers, and curious minds. It brings together an AI app store, a social network, and a credit-based monetization system, acting as a central layer between consumers and various Large Language Models (LLMs). This unique approach helps prevent "subscription fatigue" by allowing users to access multiple AI platforms with a single set of credits.
