About us
We’re building the interactive visual layer for AI with our own real-time, on-device generative animation model. We bring virtual characters to life—making them truly interactive and taking human-AI communication to the next level. It’s a whole new way for AI to feel alive and present. Built by ex-Meta engineers and production artists, we’re pushing the frontier of empathetic, real-time characters.
Why join us now
We’ve validated the experience on iOS and are ready to bring it to Android. You’ll be the first Android engineer on the team, shaping the app, architecture, and the way we build Android at Animation Inc. You’ll work directly with the founders and ship features quickly.
