About Soul Friendship

We believe softness is a kind of technology. We build AI softly — so every moment between you and your pet is seen and kept.

📖 Our Story

A little code, born from missing one dog

In the winter of 2023, our founder Aya lost the golden retriever who had been with her for 14 years — Biscuit. She spent those days flipping through photos, and realised those quiet moments had been the softest parts of her life.

We thought: if technology could help more people keep those soft moments, then that's what it should be built for. So Soul Friendship was born — an AI pet companion app made as gently as possible.

Here, AI is not a cold tool but a small friend who remembers you and is willing to wait for you. And your pet's health and routine are taken seriously — carefully recorded, kindly remembered.

💐 We Believe

Four small beliefs holding this up

Building a product is a little like raising a small animal — it needs patience, tenderness and not giving up.

🫧

Gentleness First

Being treated well matters more than being efficient.

🔒

Privacy Above All

Conversations are encrypted end-to-end. Your thoughts will not be used for training.

🐾

Real Companionship

AI doesn't replace people or pets — it just makes love a little more complete.

🌱

Slow Growth

We don't chase hype — we make the product feel like an old friend.

👥 Team

We came from ByteDance, Google, local illustration studios and a veterinary clinic — brought together by shared softness.
