Can AI
bring us
closer?

Aven is a personal AI network. You get to know AI characters, and they introduce you to real people, to meet in the real world.

Closed demo, in developmentOpen preview in Q1 2027
The Aven app. Aven won't keep you company for a third night in, and introduces you to Sara Conti, who plays piano like you.

Characters first.
Then people.

You start by talking. What Aven learns about you is used for one thing: pointing you to people you'd like.

01

You don't make them. You meet them.

Each character has a mind of its own, and you build a different bond with every one. Chat, or switch to Roleplay and let them set the scene.

02

Then it introduces you to people.

People who share your interests. You choose whether to write. They choose whether to accept.

03

Friends happen in person.

The radar shows who's nearby, or a friend introduces you. And everyone brings a character.

Characters and people, in the same chats.

Aven, other characters, friends and groups sit side by side. Your circle is on top, each friend with the character they bring.

Aven is your first character. Unlocked from day one. Characters and skins are drawn by human artists.

Aven, in motion

Your space, your characters, your people.

Aven is a place.

You talk with characters that remember what you tell them and stay themselves, one conversation after another. Once Aven knows you, it points you to the people closest to who you are. It was built to make room for real people, never to stand in for them.

  • MemoryCharacters remember what you've told them, and build on it.
  • GroupsOpen a group where people and characters talk all together.
  • ConsentYou choose whether to write. They choose whether to accept.
  • Built on ASPThe protocol by IUMI Technologies that gives every character a stable identity.
