Founders
Chris Nolet
Founder and CEO
I was previously a Staff SWE at Apple, where I worked on the Vision Pro. Although I've spent much of my career on software, I have a background in mechanical engineering, and a deep passion for product design. I'm a second-time founder and former venture partner. Now I'm working on conversational computing, and I'm excited to bring voice AI to the masses.
