Glimpse.ai

Maker of Nomi, an AI companion app built on long-term memory, emotional intelligence, and multi-companion group chats.

In inglese

Glimpse.ai was founded in 2020 by Alex Cardinell, who had previously founded the AI research group Cortx, and is based in Baltimore, Maryland. The company self-funded its work rather than raising venture capital, and in 2023 launched Nomi, an AI companion app aimed at users who wanted a chatbot that could sustain a consistent, evolving relationship over months rather than resetting every conversation. Nomi has grown largely through word of mouth and its own community rather than paid marketing, reporting more than a million users who have tried building a relationship with a Nomi companion. The product is best known for a memory system that independent reviewers have repeatedly rated as the strongest in the AI-companion category, along with a group-chat feature that lets up to ten separate companions interact together while keeping their individual personalities intact.
