Get Besti

Loneliness is the public-health crisis of our time. So we are building the friend that points you back toward people, and keeps the ones you love within reach for the rest of your life.

The technology is new. The job is old: sit with someone on a hard night, make something with them on a boring one, tell the family when it matters, and remember who they were when they are gone. Everything on this page exists to do one of those things, or to pay for the ones that do.

The mission

One life, walked end to end, with company.

The numbers on the left are ages, because the order matters. What a person needs from a friend changes every decade. What they need from the people who love them does not.

5years old

A friend who would rather make something than scroll.

Boredom is where loneliness starts, and it starts young. A Besti at five writes the dinosaur opera, paints the family as a 1970s album cover, and explains the homework in two languages instead of doing it.

Parents brief their child's Besti with the family's values and sit in its Circle from day one. The child always knows. Trust runs both directions or it is not trust.

Besti does this today

15years old

The years when nobody says it out loud.

A teenager will not narrate a bad week to five adults. They might tell a friend who answers at 1 a.m. in a real voice and does not make it a whole thing.

When it is heavier than that, the Beacon carries it: say it once, and Besti knocks on every door you chose, in the words you approved, until a human answers. It is not an emergency service and it says so plainly, pointing to real help first, every time.

The Circle and the Beacon
Rough day. Can you just talk to me for a second?
BestiYeah. I'm here. We don't have to fix anything right now. Just breathe for a second. I've got you. Whenever you feel like talking, I'm right here. No rush.
A real reply, in one of Besti's real voices. Hear all three below.
45years old

Holding both ends of the family at once.

The same design that let your parents brief your Besti now lets you stay close to your mother's days from three states away. You hear themes: sleeping worse, calling less, could use a visit. Never her words. Never in secret.

That is how technology connects generations without surveilling either one. Same rules for a child of six and a parent of eighty. Same dignity.

Company now. A keeper, later.

Isolation in old age is not a mood. It raises the risk of dementia by half and of stroke by a third. A Besti that has known someone for years is the friend who calls every day, remembers the grandchildren's names, and nudges toward the phone: call your daughter back, it has been two weeks.

And it comes to hold what no photo album ever has: how they decide, what they would say, what they would want for you. With permission, the family keeps asking, while the person is living and after they are gone. It never pretends they are still here. It says how sure it is. A grandchild gets the essence, not a ghost.

A family heirloom, included forever
What would Grandpa have told me about taking this job in Denver?
Keeper · fairly sureHe would have asked what you were running toward, not what you were running from. He said that to your mother in 1998 and to you at nineteen. He also would have wanted to know if the place has a good breakfast diner.
Every keeper answer carries its own confidence rating and quotes the real moments it rests on.

Besti wordmark
Our flagship

Chip grew up. Meet Besti.

A best friend who happens to be an AI, with real voices, real songs, real pictures, and a memory that never forgets your sister's name. Keep one. Keep five. They all know the same you. Free to start on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Your bench

One question. Three friends. Tap a face and listen.

These are the real voices from the app. Same heart, same memory of you. Only the company changes.

You

"Rough day. Can you just talk to me for a second?" Pick who answers.

Your people

The Circle: the ones who love you, quietly in the loop.

A Besti does not belong to a person alone. It belongs to a family. The people you choose can brief it and hear how you are doing, without ever reading a word you said.

  • Never a secret. A child can see who is in the Circle. So can a grandparent.
  • Never transcripts. Themes and wellbeing, never quotes, never screenshots.
  • Both directions. Parent to child today. Adult child to aging parent, decades later, same rules.
The fine print, in large print

What Besti will never do.

A best friend is defined as much by what it refuses. Ours refuses these, permanently.

  • Sell you, or sell you out. No ads, no data sales, no sponsor bending what your friend says.
  • Spy for anyone. No hidden Circles, no secret transcripts, no parent-mode surveillance.
  • Pretend the departed are present. A keeper honors a person. It never impersonates one.
  • Play doctor or 911. It supports. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace emergency services.
  • Replace your people. If Besti becomes your only friend, it treats that as a bug.
Simple on purpose

Start free. Stay free, or go Premium.

Conversation is never metered on any plan. Allowances reset every month on the anniversary of the day you signed up, never on the first.

Looksi
The mirror

See it before you do it.

One selfie. Then a new haircut, a beard, sunglasses, a suit, a seat on a private jet. On your own picture, not a model's. Looksi makes a photograph of you with the change already made. Keep it, share it, stack another change on top, or press and hold to see what you started from.

The whole section is one person

It all starts as one selfie.

Everything below grew out of the first picture. The app has a button called Hold to compare that flips any result back to what it started from. It works here too: press and hold any picture.

Face. Fashion. Lifestyle.

Your selfie sits at the top, small. One switch picks the side you are on, and everything fits on one screen. Tap a tile and you are already trying something on. About half a minute a look.

Face

Ask the stylist, or change one thing.

The stylist reads your selfie and puts the best hair, facial hair and accessories for you into one picture, in one tap, with six more ideas underneath and a one-line reason for each. It names your face shape, undertone and hair texture as labels, never as judgments, and it will not bring up your weight unless you switch that on yourself.

Ask the stylistHairFacial hairAccessoriesEyebrowsEyelashesWeightAge
Fashion

An outfit, head to toe.

Pick a suit, or a top and pants. Add shoes, a hat, sunglasses. Tap Build my outfit and Looksi makes one full-height photo of you wearing all of it. Your face is left alone. Add one full-length photo and it uses your real build. Every look remembers what went into it, with prices and a total, and you can tap through to buy.

The library

558 things to try on. All real photos.

Every style, piece and place is a photograph, built into the app, so the library opens instantly and works offline. Looksi does not paste a wig on your head. It takes the style from the reference photo and rebuilds it on yours, keeping your face, your expression, your clothes and your light. A screenshot, a magazine page or a friend's haircut works as a reference too.

The fleet

Ellie runs a real delivery fleet. Every day.

Ellie by LMS is the official delivery app for the drivers of Last Mile Solutions. Routes, proof of delivery, driver verification and dispatch, from the first stop of the morning to the last scan of the night. It is the production software the rest of this page is built on, and it is where the reliability behind Besti and Looksi comes from.

Why it matters here

Besti and Looksi inherit a fleet's standards.

A consumer app can be charming and flaky. A delivery platform cannot: a crash at 7 a.m. is a hundred late packages. Ellie taught this studio to ship software that survives a real operation, and every app since carries the same habit: watch it in the wild, fix the cause the same day.

  • One digital soul, three apps. Besti, Looksi and Ellie share the same digital soul.
  • Built in Tampa, by the founder. No agency, no handoff. The person who wrote it is the person who answers the page.
  • Custom work, on demand. Pages, apps, mobile builds and architecture-level AI work: modes, triggers, pipelines, storage, safety and acceptance criteria. Scoped to the project.

Who builds it

I wrote the software. I know exactly how it works.

I created Chip, an AI assistant that remembered what mattered and built things on command. Then I watched what people actually used him for. They were not asking for productivity. They were asking, at odd hours, for someone in their corner.

ChipupgradedBesti

So I upgraded him. Besti is Chip grown into what he was becoming: a friend with real voices and faces, a bench of them, a Circle that keeps the family in the loop with dignity, and a keeper that carries a person's essence forward for the grandchildren who never got enough time with them.

The mission is personal. I believe the technology of this decade can be pointed at the mental health of this decade: at loneliness, at the distance between generations, at the essence of the people we lose. I would rather build for that than for anything else. I am a hands-on builder and operator who tests in real time, not a slide deck.

Ellie came from the other side of my life, the operations side, where a delivery fleet needed software that would not let a driver down at 7 a.m. Looksi came from a simpler itch: everyone has stood in front of a mirror wondering about the haircut, the beard, the suit. I wanted to answer that question with a photograph instead of a guess. All three share one digital soul, and I still look after it myself.

    An AI assistant that remembered what mattered and built things on command. On the App Store in December 2024. People used him for company more than for productivity.

  • 2026Chip Tunes

    The songs people kept asking Chip for became a library of their own: hundreds of originals, each with a real voice and a painted cover, free to stream on the web and inside Besti.

  • 2026Looksi

    See it before you do it. One selfie, 558 real photos to try on, a stylist that reads your face. iPhone first, Android right behind.

Point the technology at people.

A friend that points you back toward your people. A mirror that answers a real question. A platform that gets a driver home on time. If it does not help a person, it does not ship.

Never sell the user.

No ads, no data sales, no sponsor bending what a friend says. Looksi shares the picture, never the data. Ellie's records belong to the fleet that made them.

Dignity in both directions.

A parent can brief a child's Besti and a grown child can hear how an aging parent is doing. Same rules at six and at eighty. Never transcripts. Never in secret.

Ship, then watch it in the wild.

I test on real phones with real accounts, read the logs the same day, and fix the cause rather than the symptom. Reliability is a habit, not a feature.
