Today we introduce Friends and preview Life, as we continue shaping the future of AI companionship. Pengu evolved into Friends. A platform of trustworthy, fun, and social AI characters designed for moments that matter most. Pengu for social connection, Mellow for learning, Bao for wellbeing. With 1M+ daily actives and growing, Friends is the defining AI companion platform for a generation. For the first time, we're also previewing Life, a photorealistic digital companion experience. Each AI friend becomes an extension of their user, creating personalized content that is shaped by ongoing interaction. Every breakout consumer company has emerged from a major technology or platform shift. AI friends is next and we're building it.

We built this onboarding flow in React Native that feels better than most native apps Here’s how we did it: ① Patched react-native-screens for a custom transition ② Button and stepper are rendered on top of the stack ③ Synced button state across screens via context The button and header are positioned absolutely above the stack. When a screen focuses, it updates the shared button state (text, disabled state) via context The hardest part is keeping the keyboard open during screen transitions. We solved it with hidden TextInputs that get focused programmatically before navigating The result: one button flows across every screen and surfs the keyboard

We burned $14M, were weeks away from bankruptcy. Today we have $25M ARR and are announcing a $58M Series A. All in a span of 1.5 years. Here's the story:

Just spoke at Oxford University with one of my best friends @DinBisevac

@ryskin @barany6m what is impossible for you is not impossible for me

@barany6m I don’t believe in stories like that. You can’t build a production-ready app in 14 days. You can create an MVP, but not a product that will be ready for the store. Sometimes it takes two weeks just to pass the App Store review.

we spent the christmas holidays building this little app from idea to #1 in 14 days x.com/fabiankamberi/…

@filippkowalski @fabiankamberi @barany6m 🇲🇹next up

@fabiankamberi @barany6m @comvicts stoked to see European teams crushing it in the mobile space, you guys seem to have it all figured out

New Year, new #1 on the overall App Store for SLAY. @barany6m, @comvicts, and I shipped WA Wrapped over the Christmas holidays, and this fun project is now adding 7k users per hour while generating six-figure MRR — all organic.

I was smiling when I was losing because I knew i was gonna win again.

@DinBisevac opposition are lucky I won’t be in Berlin

Pengu has become the biggest AI character app with its own IP in the US. At SLAY, we are creating virtual friends that live and evolve like humans—starting with Pengu. Like a pet or a child, your character lives on its own in a digital world, meets other users' Pengus, and creates relationships, forms beliefs, and develops thoughts. All these exciting moments are visualized in 3D. Our product is already making life better for millions of couples, friends, and parents—and we’re just getting started.

Super excited to announce react-native-godot: A seamless integration of the Godot Engine with React Native for iOS and Android! Now you can create games with native UI components, giving them a polished, platform-native feel. Plus, you'll have full access to the engine and all GDScript functions directly within React Native, fully typed for an enhanced development experience. Since it's a standalone library, simply import a .pck file, and you're good to go. Open-sourcing in the coming weeks!

Pengu Mini-Series: Ep. 1 🫡 We loved bringing our virtual AI character to life in this one. Exciting times ahead.
