We aim for synergy between our chatbot market sense-making tool, learning content & community features.

Our Progress

We have achieved significant milestones, including completed and tested 5 lessons designs in Figma for the learning platform, our chatbot is live for internal test use and demo investor purpose both locally through Docker and in a cloud solution. We've built an AWS cloud setup with the following components: Backend: NestJS microservices on AWS Fargate. Frontend: Next.js on AWS Amplify. Message Broker: RabbitMQ on Amazon MQ. Database: MongoDB.  API Gateway: AWS API Gateway. Our ML/AI is integrated both in the cloud and locally same as our RAG system. We've enriched our chatbot capabilities and carried out comprehensive API development. Our product designs are complete for some aspects and being further developed on other features, and we are conducting innovative R&D to transform investment knowledge. We've engaged in extensive user research, userbility testing, competitor analysis, product positioning and built a strong and motivated team, and established early industry partnerships.

We take on a demand driven approach to pre-Product-Market-Fit (pre-PMF) phase.
