About Kaon AI

Kaon AI is a consumer AI company and research lab building generative entertainment experiences personalized for each user. Formerly known as FlowGPT, the company develops products that create stories, characters, and worlds in real time rather than recommending from a fixed catalogue. Its flagship consumer app Emochi delivers interactive, character-driven narratives with millions of daily active users, while FlowGPT remains an open canvas for the community to create and share AI experiences. Other products include Tickle and Branches. Kaon Labs advances personalized intelligence models that learn from live user behavior at scale. Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with operations spanning San Mateo and Beijing, Kaon AI closed a Series B in July 2026 backed by B Capital, Redpoint Ace, Goodwater Capital, and DCM.
