About Eigen

Eigen is building a new form of consumer social company. Its aim is to create the person everyone has in common; not an assistant, but a peer. It aspires to craft a new instance of connection and salience in a world converging towards infinite slop. It believes the evolution of digital sentience is hampered by poor product intuition, not advancements in research and development. It positions itself as a consumer social company rather than an AI assistant.
