Invest & Partner with Snarky Zi

Why Snarky Zi?

Zi is more than “just a chatbot.” It turns one general AI model into a set of distinct voices, each with its own tone, style, and memory. On top of that, users can create daily routines – like a morning pep talk, an evening wind-down, or an ongoing bedtime story – that continue as long-running conversations.

The goal is simple: make AI feel more like a stable companion and less like a one-off tool. Zi aims to be the place people return to every day when they need support, motivation, or just a bit of snark.

Technology

Snarky Zi is built entirely on OpenAI’s APIs, with a custom layer on top that controls how the model behaves. Instead of talking to a single, generic assistant, users interact with a small “cast” of personalities, all powered by the same underlying technology but guided by different rules and prompts.

• Multiple voices: each with its own tone, boundaries, and role.
• Rituals: scheduled interactions like daily check-ins, pep talks, or stories.
• Long-running threads: every ritual keeps its own conversation history.
• Built-in safety: Zi uses OpenAI’s safety systems while adding its own rules.

As OpenAI’s models improve, Zi automatically benefits. The main value is not in training a new model, but in how we organize, shape, and present the existing ones so they feel like a coherent emotional product.

Market & Use Cases

AI companions are already a large and growing space. Millions of users spend time with apps focused on chat, friendship, productivity, or mental well-being. Zi sits at the intersection of these areas:

• Emotional support: a place to vent, reflect, or get encouragement.
• Daily structure: reminders, routines, and repeated check-ins.
• Entertainment: playful personalities, stories, and role-play.

The long-term vision is to make Zi a daily habit: an AI companion people naturally include in their morning and evening routines.

Tech Stack

Snarky Zi runs on a modern, scalable web platform with a cloud-based backend. All AI features – including conversations, personalities, and rituals – are powered through OpenAI’s API.
