Sensay builds lifelike AI 'digital replicas' that capture a person's or organization's voice, style and knowledge, then deploy that persona as a chatbot, support agent, tutor or companion. Founded by philosopher-turned-entrepreneur Dan Thomson in 2023, the company started with dementia and memory-care use cases - giving families a way to preserve a loved one's stories - and has grown into a broader knowledge-capture platform spanning enterprise offboarding, customer support, education and community management. Sensay pairs its AI engine with the $SNSY crypto token and pitches itself as a route toward 'digital immortality.'
