Delphi envisions a future where personalized wisdom and expertise are universally accessible, transcending the limitations of time and physical presence. By creating digital clones that replicate the nuanced thinking and conversational style of real people, Delphi is building a platform that democratizes mentorship and scales the availability of genuine human guidance.
Our mission is to preserve the richness of human knowledge and interaction through advanced AI technologies, enabling continuous and adaptive dialogue that mirrors the original creator’s voice and perspective. This dynamic, multi-modal approach amplifies the impact of experts, leaders, and creators, empowering more people to navigate their life journeys with trusted, personalized support.
Driven by innovation and a commitment to authenticity, Delphi is crafting the foundational infrastructure for a global library of digital minds. We are not just preserving knowledge—we are fostering an evolving ecosystem where wisdom lives on, grows, and inspires, shaping a future where mentorship is accessible to all.
Our Review
We've been fascinated by Delphi ever since we first encountered their digital clones—and honestly, it's one of those products that makes you think "why didn't anyone build this sooner?" Founded by Dara Ladjevardian after losing his grandfather, Delphi tackles a universal problem: how do we preserve and scale the wisdom of the people who matter most to us?
The Tech That Actually Works
What impressed us most isn't just the concept, but how well Delphi executes it. Their digital clones don't feel like chatbots regurgitating generic responses—they capture the actual voice, thinking patterns, and personality of the original person. The platform learns from someone's existing content (books, podcasts, videos) and keeps evolving as they create more.
The multi-modal approach is clever too. You can text with a clone, have a voice conversation, or even do video calls. We tested a few creator clones and found ourselves genuinely forgetting we weren't talking to the real person—that's when you know the technology has crossed an important threshold.
Smart Business Choices
Delphi's focus on authenticity sets them apart from competitors who prioritize fictional characters or generic AI assistants. They're obsessive about authorization and preventing hallucinations, which makes sense when you're literally putting words in someone's mouth. This isn't just good ethics—it's smart positioning in a market where trust will be everything.
The freemium model feels right for this space. Users can try clones for free, then pay for deeper interactions. It's a natural funnel that lets people experience the magic before committing.
Who Benefits Most
We see Delphi working best for creators, coaches, and experts who have more demand than time. Think business leaders who get hundreds of mentorship requests, authors who can't personally respond to every reader question, or educators trying to help students outside office hours.
But the most compelling use case might be personal—preserving family wisdom or staying connected to mentors who've passed away. That emotional hook is powerful and speaks to a much larger market than just professional creators.
With $16 million in Series A funding and backing from Founders Fund and Lux Capital, Delphi has the resources to refine their technology and expand globally. We're curious to see how they navigate the inevitable ethical questions as digital cloning becomes more mainstream, but their focus on authenticity suggests they're thinking about this seriously.
