Чем занимается MindPortal

MindPortal is a pioneering AI research company advancing human-AI interaction by enabling people to communicate with computers and AI assistants purely through thought. As an AI company, we focus exclusively on model development rather than hardware. Our models are designed to be general-purpose, adaptable across a wide range of applications. Our flagship development, MindSpeech, is the first supervised AI model to translate imagined speech into text, enabling direct thought-to-language communication. MindSpeech has earned endorsements from leading experts, including Neuralink's former technical strategy head and DARPA’s N3 program lead scientist. Our thought-to-language AI models have the potential for transformative applications in fields such as healthcare, education, and VR/AR and our work has been featured in major publications such as Forbes, The Times, The Telegraph, and Business Insider. MindPortal has over 11 patents filed in the field and is backed by prominent investors such as Y Combinator.

Thought-to-Language AI Models

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build AI models that translate imagined speech directly into text. Our flagship, MindSpeech, lets people communicate with machines purely through thought, without hardware dependence. It works across applications, from healthcare communication aids to VR interfaces.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in London, England, UK, and plan to base the company there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Most of our team is in London, and it makes sense to build where our expertise and early users are. We want to stay close to our neurotech and AI research community.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка MindPortal в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных MindPortal (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде MindPortal представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
