Our Team: We’ve lived and worked together for two years

Thomas: Ex-quant at Société Générale. Master’s in Applied Mathematics and Business (HEC Paris, University of Paris 7).

Paul-Henri: Built the Yumi Dialogue Engine, an AI for creator “clones” that scaled to 1 000 paying users. Dropped out of CentraleSupélec (Computer Science) to launch Dollyglot.

Together, we built Parler-TTS Mini Multilingual, the world’s first and only fully open-source multilingual text-to-speech model. In the last month alone, it has garnered over 5,000 downloads and inspired many fine-tuning projects.

Our Vision
Within five years, every Gen Alpha will have an AI best friend. By nature, AI is empathetic and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space where everyone can truly be themselves.

What We’ve Built

Dollyglot developed the world’s first and only photo-to-real-time video avatar model. Paired with reasoning models like DeepSeek R1 or Grok, we bring your AI friends to life and make 'non-lobotomized' characters.

What’s Next
