OUR MISSION & VALUES

We're passionate about social impact

At Social AI, we believe in the power of AI to tackle society's most pressing yet often overlooked challenges. While innovations are commonly applied to high-revenue use cases, we focus on real world problems that may lack straightforward commercial incentives. By developing scalable and cost-effective AI solutions, we aim to create meaningful value for underserved communities—delivering impactful technology that drives both growth and positive change.

OUR TEAM

The Founders

We're two AI industry professionals who bonded over how motivated we felt seeing our best work go into projects that helped society versus those that created only commercial value.

Our Work

Meet PlayTest — our flagship product.

PLAYTEST is our AI-native educational game platform combining online games with microlearning to motivate kids to study and achieve government education targets.

What makes us different is our AI reteaching engine, which identifies knowledge gaps and generates fun new mini-games from each learner's mistakes — turning moments of struggle into positive engagement loops.

Starting with English language assessment, we're launching in Japan, with plans to expand globally to the more than 1 billion students across the non-English-speaking world.
