Alan Jones is a serial entrepreneur who has been on the Irish Tech News twice before. He is now involved with Mascotte.AI as their Strategic Executive Partner. Mascotte.AI are building the next interface for human-AI interaction. To find out more about this I caught up with Alan and Mao Lao Lin the founder and CEO of Mascotte.AI.

Alan and Mao talk about their backgrounds, what Mascotte,AI does, AI companions, AI ethics, holo boxes and more.

More about Moscotte.AI:

Mascotte.AI was born out of a simple observation: The most critical business skills are the hardest to practice. For years, their team at Reblika built the world’s most sophisticated digital humans for global icons like LVMH, Adidas, and David Guetta. They mastered the art of “High-Fidelity Identity.”  and they realised that photorealism shouldn’t just be for fashion and entertainment, it should be for growth.

They saw sales teams stumbling through high-stakes negotiations, healthcare providers struggling with bedside manner, and managers dreading difficult conversations. They were all practicing on the one thing they couldn’t afford to lose: their people.

So, Mascotte.AI was built.
