Vision

Entertainment-Tech.
A new kind of entertainment, built on two pillars.

AI companionship is no longer a story about the future. Right now, countless people are sharing emotional moments with AI characters.

Trineedle is building the new AI entertainment of this era on two pillars: world-class multimodal AI technology and a refined AI companion production pipeline.

01

Face-to-Face AI Characters — Multimodal

We integrated LLM, TTS, and GenAI Video into a single pipeline, so our AI characters talk live in voice and video. Users don't read a chat — they sit across from a character and talk.

In this space, Trineedle's technology is world-class.

200M+ cumulative voice calls

AI Character Production Pipeline — Automated Character Creation

Anyone can build one AI character, given time. The real challenge is producing enough characters, fast enough, to run a real service. Our pipeline uses AI to compress every step — technology, concept, and story.

It is built on years of hands-on experience managing virtual creators.
