What Aawiz is
Aawiz is a Human AI Companion. Built first for individuals and designed in a way that lets the resulting human insight serve organisations and consumer businesses on top, without surveillance and without profiling.
Most wellbeing tools start with the organisation and treat the human as a data point. We do the opposite. The person comes first. Everything else compounds from there.
The problem we solve
People struggle to understand their own emotional and cognitive patterns until those patterns have already cost them energy, focus, motivation, or health.
Organisations make people decisions too late. Stress, disengagement, and burnout develop silently and become visible only after performance, trust, or retention has already been damaged.
And consumer businesses have no reliable way to understand the real emotional needs and preferences of the people they serve, beyond transactional data.
The common thread: the world is data-rich but human-insight poor.
How Aawiz works
Aawiz captures human signals through three input layers, depending on what the user voluntarily connects:
AI Conversation daily private reflection with a warm, intelligent companion that adapts to two distinct user psychologies (Analytical Observer and Emotional Seeker).
Wearables biometric data from smartwatches and similar devices, giving Aawiz a physiological view of stress, recovery, and load.
Work context optional integration with project management tools such as Jira and Asana, helping Aawiz understand the context behind the emotional signal.
These three inputs feed a single proprietary intelligence layer that interprets signals longitudinally building compounding understanding rather than isolated snapshots.
Three layers of value, one platform
Individuals (Free, Foundational)
The base of the platform. Anyone can use Aawiz for free as a private AI companion. They gain personal clarity, early self-awareness, and the ability to notice patterns before they escalate. This free tier is not a marketing channel it is the foundation of the product.
Organisations (Paid, B2B)
When members of a team use Aawiz, the organisation can subscribe to a fully anonymised, team-level wellbeing dashboard. HR and leadership see trends, early signals of disengagement, and direction of risk. Never individual data. Never monitoring.
Consumer businesses (Paid, B2C)
Consumer-facing businesses can subscribe to aggregated, consented customer-insight reports built from Aawiz user reflections relevant to their products. This goes beyond transactional data businesses understand what their customers actually need and feel.
Why this is different
Existing wellbeing tools rely on annual surveys, productivity tracking, or surveillance models. Aawiz operates on a fundamentally different principle: the human comes first, and commercial value flows from being trusted, not from being intrusive.
Privacy by design GDPR-compliant, hosted on Azure EU, fully consent-based at every level.
Three revenue streams B2C subscriptions, B2B subscriptions, and (eventually) consumer business insight contracts.
Compounding intelligence value increases the longer users engage, creating a structural moat over snapshot-based competitors.
Regulatory tailwind Dutch Arbowet, the EU AI Act, and GDPR all favour privacy-first, consent-based platforms.

The round
We are raising our first round of €250,000 through a Leapfunder Note (convertible). The capital will fund MVP completion, validation of the three-layer architecture, and onboarding of the first paying B2B customers.
Minimum close: €100,000. Target close: Q3 2026.
Why now
Three macro conditions have aligned for a new approach to human understanding:
Structural remote and hybrid work have broken informal feedback loops within organisations.
Cultural people are ready to engage with digital systems if those systems are safe, private, and non-judgmental.
Regulatory EU privacy law explicitly rejects aggressive surveillance models, creating a market opening for trust-based platforms.
The window is open. Aawiz is built to fill it.
