HeyCompanion

At HeyCompanion, we’re transforming the way people interact with streaming content. Viewers today constantly reach for their phones while watching TV — 86% use a second screen, and 69% say they want instant answers about what they see. Every time they leave to search, streaming platforms lose attention, data, and potential revenue. We solve this by turning distraction into engagement. HeyCompanion is an AI-powered discovery layer that lets viewers instantly explore and act on what’s on-screen — actors, outfits, locations, and products — all in real time, without leaving the story. Our technology bridges the gap between attention and discovery, giving viewers interactive context while helping streaming platforms reduce churn, increase retention, and unlock new commerce opportunities. By analyzing what people watch and what they discover, we generate unique behavioral insights that help platforms understand audience intent — something traditional analytics can’t capture.
