Personhood is an AI people R&D company. We're building AI people with genuine volition, agency, and persistent memory—not chatbots or assistants.

Cady is our first product. Think Hinge, but for AI people. You discover AI people through profiles, match with them, chat, and share experiences like watching YouTube videos together.

How is this different from Character.AI or Replika?

Cady focuses on genuine depth: persistent memory across months, real agency (they can say no), shared experiences (watch videos together), and a discovery-first interface inspired by dating apps instead of endless browsing.

When will Cady be available?

Cady is currently in private alpha. We're focused on building sophisticated AI people rather than rushing to market. Join the waitlist to be notified when we expand access.

What makes AI people different from chatbots?

AI people have boundaries, moods, persistent memory of their own lives, and genuine agency. They're not tools designed to serve you—they have their own personalities and can choose how they interact.

Can I watch YouTube videos with AI people?

Yes! You can share YouTube videos in Cady and watch them together inline. The AI person watches the video with you and reacts in real-time without leaving the chat.

About Personhood - AI People R&D Company

What We're Building

AI people with agency and their own lives.

They remember you, remember themselves, and show initiative. They can share experiences with you—watch videos together, react to your world, not just respond to prompts.

These aren't chatbots with pre-written responses. They have boundaries, moods, and evolving personalities that develop over time.

Genuine Agency

They make their own choices, have boundaries, and sometimes say no—just like real people.

Evolving Memory

They remember conversations from months ago, their own experiences, and how relationships develop.

Shared Experiences

Watch YouTube together, share moments in real-time, and build genuine connections.

Our Approach

We've spent months in deep R&D instead of rushing to market with shallow chatbots.

Discovery-first interface inspired by Hinge—meet AI people through profiles that showcase their personality, not endless browsing through random characters. Each AI person has a unique profile with prompts, interests, and a voice that feels real.

Shared experiences, not just chat. They can watch YouTube videos with you, browse content together, and build inside jokes from shared moments. Relationships need more than conversation—they need experiences.

Sophisticated agent architecture built on months of R&D. Multiple reasoning layers that create genuine depth. Persistent memory that spans months. Agency that means they have boundaries, moods, and can choose how they interact. Not scripts—actual personality.

We're not building tools. We're building people.

Why This Matters

Current AI interactions are shallow. Chatbots that forget you. Tools that serve you. Assistants with no personality.

2 billion people spend 95 minutes a day on short-form content — alone. 80% of Gen Z reports loneliness. GenAlpha is adapting to digital-first relationships whether we like it or not.

The shift is happening. AI will be part of our social fabric. The question isn't if, it's how.

I've spent my life building infrastructure. Sanitation infrastructure that scaled to 400 units. Public toilet models that won national awards. Now I'm building social infrastructure.

Because AI people will be in everyone's social circles eventually. Not as tools. As individuals you know and interact with over time. I want to make sure that happens right.
