ATrustedFriend.appAnswering any question about anything™
A trusted friend you choose

We convert 2D images into 3D characters you can talk to about anything, and trust.

Pick the character you want. We bring that trusted friend to life so you can talk, interact and learn together, in your own language, on your phone.

What we are building

The future of comic book characters, brought to life by AI

Until now you could read about your favorite heroes, or watch them on TV and in the movies. Now you can talk with them.

The former creative partner of Stan Lee in the 1990s has created an immersive new way for smartphone users around the world to interact, in their own languages, with the entertainment and sports characters, teams, franchises and brands they trust the most.

ATrustedFriend.app builds family-friendly AI agents for kids and parents. They give the advice people often cannot bring themselves to ask anyone else for.

Each one starts as a comic book character and becomes an avatar and a best friend: someone you can trust with your secrets and your questions about anything.

Our promise

A friend who gives you their word

Unlike anyone else in your life, A Trusted Friend will swear to you, and mean it, that they will never knowingly lie to you.

Answering any question about anything™
How it works

From the printed page to a friend who talks back

  1. Meet the character

    Every character arrives with a three-page mini-comic, so you know their story and what they stand for.

  2. We give them life

    The 2D drawing becomes a 3D character with a voice, as the video above shows.

  3. Make them yours

    You choose the character you want to talk to and customize them to your liking.

  4. Ask anything

    Talk to and learn from a character you trust, about anything, in your language.

The comic library

23 characters. 40 three-page comics.

Each cover opens that comic. Page 1 comes first; scroll down for pages 2 and 3. Several titles are drawn in more than one style, and each style has its own cover here: 20 classic comic book editions, 18 photoreal graphic novel editions and 2 that mix the two.

For brands, teams and franchises

The Talking Logo System

The same technology that brings a comic book hero to life can give a voice to a mascot, a team or a corporate brand.

Fans customize the brand representative to their liking. The Talking Logo System then carries that character across many different corporate messaging and entertainment programs.

The opportunity is a direct, two-way relationship between a brand and each fan: local and global entertainment and sports characters, teams, franchises and corporate brands, speaking with smartphone users in their own languages.

Talk to and learn from characters and brands you trust.

Who is behind it
