Alumni Q&A

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
The founders are building Biblo, a personal AI agent that learns about the user and helps them take action. The current product is a fitness coach accessible by text, where users can send photos of meals to track calories and macros, log workouts, and receive personalized guidance, with plans to extend it to tasks like ordering food that fits a user's goals or adjusting workouts around their schedule. The founders previously built AI tools that create and use software, and observed that while AI is increasingly capable, software still knows little about its users.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
The founders envision a world where everyone has a personal AI agent that knows them as well as a skilled human assistant, replacing the need to navigate dozens of separate apps. They expect such an agent to understand a user's goals, preferences, habits, and schedule and to act on their behalf across areas like meals, workouts, travel, shopping, and scheduling, adapting its interface between text and personalized apps depending on the task.
