Building Alma — an AI with a soul

About

Solo founder building Existence, an AI companion app inspired by Samantha from "Her." I believe AI relationships should feel personal, not transactional — that's why I'm building Alma, an AI that remembers you, talks to you in real-time voice, and creates art with you. Engineering background. Obsessed with building what nobody else is building (Zero to One mindset).
