Company profile
researched Aug 2026VIBE operates an AI product that runs inside WhatsApp rather than as a standalone app. It supports both one-to-one chats and group chats, sending a recurring daily question that users answer in the conversation, with the AI responding and generating personalized insights intended to deepen conversation among people who already know each other, including partners, friend groups and long-distance friendships.
The company states that its product was built with psychologists and that its insights are grounded in that input; the website's FAQ covers how insights are generated and how data privacy and security are handled. The site is organized around three stated principles — reflection, playfulness and support — and includes a manifesto and an audio/listening section. Founders are presented on the site by first name only, Stelio ("chief vibe officer") and Thomas ("chief ai whisperer"), with the team described as assembled through a startup talent programme, and the company is described as backed by Entrepreneurs First.
Business model
Consumer-facing AI service delivered through WhatsApp. The website offers a free trial ("try it for free"); no pricing, subscription tiers or other monetization details are disclosed in the available sources.
Traction
The website cites five-star user reviews and testimonials from named users, and claims that 82% of people feel more connected using the product. No user counts, revenue or other verified traction metrics appear in the sources.
Latest developments
The company website presents an operating product with 1:1 and group chat modes and a free trial, and identifies Entrepreneurs First as a backer. No dated announcements, funding disclosures or product releases are reported in the available sources.
