Botify AI is an AI companion and character-chat product built by Ex-Human, a California-based startup that develops AI-powered entertainment apps and also licenses its AI companion models to other companies, including the dating app Grindr. Botify lets users create and customize AI characters and chat with them across roleplay, friendship, and companionship scenarios on web and mobile. Ex-Human was selected for Andreessen Horowitz's Speedrun accelerator in 2023, and a16z subsequently led a $3.2M seed round in May 2024. Botify has drawn scrutiny over content moderation, and the company publishes terms and privacy policies governing use. The app offers free access with premium features. Founder identities and exact headquarters city are not consistently disclosed publicly, though the company is US-based.
