Kyndred raises €500,000 pre-seed to build AI companions
Maya combines a face, voice and memory so conversations can continue across sessions.
A companion that remembers
Kyndred’s characters are designed to retain details from previous conversations and respond in real time through voice and animation. The company says its first companion, Maya, had more than 150 paying customers three months after launch.
From conversation to everyday support
The product is built around an ongoing relationship with a single character, rather than switching between separate task-focused bots. Kyndred says future companions are intended to help with everyday activities as users build familiarity over time.
