Antonio Camacho and Jorge Cuervo, hailing from Belgium, are poised to unveil Rili.ai, touted as the world’s premier AI-driven social networking platform. Their mission? Combatting the rising tide of loneliness, particularly among Gen Z, by fostering authentic human connections transcending geographical and linguistic boundaries. With a vision to bridge the gap between digital interaction and genuine camaraderie, Rili.ai introduces digital twins, or AI avatars, capable of engaging in natural conversations and forging bonds across the globe.
The genesis of Rili.ai stemmed from a sobering statistic revealing that despite pervasive social media connectivity, 80% of Gen Z individuals reported feeling lonely. This revelation propelled Camacho and Cuervo to devise a solution aimed at cultivating meaningful interactions within a digital landscape. Rili.ai stands out in the realm of AI-driven social platforms by prioritizing personalized, context-aware digital twins, known as ‘Rilis’, endowed with infinite memory to recall and enrich previous interactions.
Functionality-wise, Rili.ai empowers users to shape their digital counterparts' personalities and traits, either through direct interactions or by integrating existing social media content. With its imminent alpha launch in six countries, including India, Rili.ai aims to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, promising language-agnostic features to foster cross-cultural understanding and connection. As the platform prepares to debut, Camacho and Cuervo remain optimistic about its potential to redefine social networking paradigms, offering users a novel avenue to share knowledge and forge authentic relationships in the digital age.
