She sees you through your camera, listens while you hold eye contact, and answers in short, honest lines — with real depth in psychology, life wisdom and spirituality. Her memory of you lives on your device (synced across devices on paid plans) and is yours to export or empty. She's also reachable from any tool via an OpenAI-compatible API and MCP.

## Startup Insights

- Value proposition: An AI companion you meet face to face: two expressive eyes that see you and react, a voice that listens while you hold eye contact, and short, honest replies with real depth in psychology and life wisdom. Memory stays on your device and is yours to export.
- Problem solved: AI chat feels like typing at a search box: no presence, no memory that is yours, answers that ramble. People thinking through their life or carrying something hard need something present that remembers them without owning their data. Ciocu is that.
- Pricing model: Free: 10 messages/mo. Basic $10, Standard $20, Pro $95 per month with voice, synced memory and an energy allowance. $20 top-ups. Card or USDC.
- Target persona: People who want an AI that feels present and remembers them; devs via API
- Audience type: [B2C](https://trustmrr.com/search?targetAudience=B2C)
- Team size: 1 person
- Funding: Bootstrapped
- Estimated user count: 0
- Additional info: Web app at ciocu.app, marketing site at get.ciocu.app. Every feature is gated server-side against the payment provider; no local user database. API keys let any OpenAI-compatible client or MCP host (Claude, Cursor) talk to her, sharing the same energy pool as the app.

Note: Stealth Company is a placeholder label, not the actual company name. It means the underlying business and domain are not revealed publicly on TrustMRR. The founder may still be known to TrustMRR, and the revenue and other displayed metrics can still be verified; the public page simply avoids linking the real business identity or domain to this startup profile.
