Officially launched in January 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=rVjRsFiJxTz7gMnVfG-81qT_-4kbBvapIL4neoMoi9Jt7JEUzRd360i3dJ8Udfqz2LqqoLRFti-AG2TSAOvBtw==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kuky\">Kuky<\/a> has already been downloaded more than 2,000 times in its home market of Australia and is on track to meet the startup\u2019s growth targets ahead of a planned seed round.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re growing at a steady pace as more people discover the power of shared experiences,\u201d says founder Armin Nehzat (pictured), who is well-versed in open-source technologies and sentiment analysis. \u201cKuky is simple. Users upload a video sharing their health and wellness journey, and our AI-powered (artificial intelligence) system gets to work, helping them find meaningful connections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Nehzat\u2019s camp to provide an online peer support service that works, the platform features video analysis, matching algorithm, user verification, and security monitoring. The goal of the team at Kuky is to foster authentic and reliable connections within a trusted and safe community.<\/p>\n<p>Nehzat declares: \u201cSafety and authenticity are our top priorities. We manually verify all users to ensure they are who they say they are. We also encourage people to connect via voice or video calls as soon as possible \u2013 because a real conversation is far more powerful than being lost in a sea of online comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kuky founder believes that there\u2019s often a lack of \u201creal emotional support\u201d and \u201ctrue human connection\u201d in many digital platforms whose main user interactions are comments and likes. It is this deficiency that the new subscription-based app \u2013 which runs on Android, iOS, and web browsers \u2013 is keen to address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inspiration for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=rVjRsFiJxTz7gMnVfG-81gy7kJI4R60z9Mt04XXWFA1Ck7-lUa5xgUprxrFkX0PNfD5IxFTCIVv68RWnHCV_IA==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kuky\">Kuky<\/a> came from two personal experiences,\u201d shares Nehzat. \u201cMy wife was in her first trimester, and my gym partner was dealing with heart valve issues. I saw how both of them had concerns about their mental health and well-being but struggled to find the right support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting a GP appointment for quick advice was difficult, and while platforms like Google and ChatGPT provide information, they lack real human empathy. I thought, \u2018What if there was a way for people to connect based on shared experiences?\u2019 I knew technology could help bridge this gap\u2026 That\u2019s how Kuky was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, with the infrastructure already in place and the indications of market demand apparent, Kuky is focused on driving app engagement and refining its matching algorithm. Backed by two angel investors, Kuky is also eyeing to raise seed funding as part of its growth ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>Nehzat states: \u201cMany people feel like they\u2019re struggling alone, but there\u2019s something incredibly powerful about connecting with someone who truly understands what you\u2019re going through. Kuky is for anyone seeking emotional and mental support \u2013 whether it\u2019s a tough health journey, personal stress, or simply the need for someone who gets it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is dealing with something, and knowing that there\u2019s someone out there who understands and can offer empathy makes a huge difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<pre\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/media\/M2M4ZWZkZTUtY2Y0Yi00NzM2LThhMTUtMTA5MWJiM2VlNzUyLTEzMTEzNzEtMjAyNS0wMy0yMi1lbg==\/tiny\/Kuky-Tech-Pty-Ltd.png\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"\/>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link.
