NEW DELHI, INDIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 4, 2025 / Imagine an AI that isn’t just smart, but kind. That’s the promise of WTMF, a next-generation AI companion app built by Indian startup Knockverse Pvt Ltd, which has now launched its beta version globally.
Co-founded by entrepreneurs Shreyak Singh and Kruthivarsh Koduru, WTMF is positioning itself as an AI-powered best friend rather than just another chatbot. The app blends productivity and emotional well-being, functioning as an AI journaling platform, an AI mood tracking tool, and even an AI calendar assistant – all inside a single experience.
Building an AI bestie
The founders say the goal is to make AI feel more human, supportive, and approachable.
“Most AI products today are utilities. With WTMF, we want to build an AI bestie that listens, understands, and helps people reflect on their lives,” Singh said. “It’s about creating an emotional bond with technology, not just a transactional one.”
WTMF includes journaling, mood tracking, and calendar integration, along with conversational AI designed to offer companionship. Unlike many apps that push users into constant interaction, the startup says WTMF is designed with balance in mind – offering reflective prompts, gentle nudges, and responsible guardrails to ensure it supports mental health without encouraging isolation.
Global from day one
While many AI startups from India launch locally before expanding, WTMF is going global from day one. The beta version is now open to users worldwide, with no geographical restrictions.
Industry observers note that the launch reflects a growing trend of AI for mental well-being, where apps combine lifestyle, productivity, and emotional support into a single product. WTMF joins a new category of next-generation AI apps that focus on companionship and care, not just efficiency.
Why it matters
The global surge of interest in AI companion apps shows that people are increasingly open to digital relationships with technology. For Knockverse, the opportunity lies in blending emotional support with everyday tools like journaling and planning, giving users both utility and comfort.
“AI is evolving fast, but people don’t just want smarter bots – they want technology that actually feels present and empathetic,” Singh added.
What’s next
The startup is currently collecting feedback from early users to shape its roadmap. New features are expected to roll out over the coming months, with a full launch later this year.
For now, WTMF is free to join in beta, offering anyone the chance to test-drive what its creators call the AI bestie of the future.
