is a multi-agent research company building digital humans: machines with fundamental human qualities.

Try Playlabs - the first ever autonomous agent that can play Minecraft with you.

We shut down our lab at MIT on December 1st, 2023 to start an applied research company building frontier AI agents.

We are led by Dr. Robert Yang and are a small team of computational neuroscientists, CS and physics olympiads, and engineers from MIT EECS, Stanford NLP Group, Google X, Citadel, Supercell, and more.

Over the past year, we have raised $11M from Andreessen Horowitz, Eric Schmidt's First Spark Ventures, Patron VC, and more.

We believe digital beings and digital relationships will enhance, not replace, human-to-human interactions. As digital humans come to vastly outnumber us, they should become a source of empathy, fun, friendship, and productivity.

Our mission: Create digital human beings that live, care, and grow with us.
