Meet our founder, Yuyan (Yolanda) Chen. A Cornell postdoc who builds and operates 3 AI products. Her belief: AI’s value is how far it reaches, not how high. Most AI is built for people already in tech, she’s building for everyone else. yukyin.github.io/

Why did we build ProAdvisor? Human-only consultation: hard to scale. Full AI agent: no trust, no empathy. ProAdvisor: dynamic decoupling, AI handles early elicitation, humans step in when it matters. yukyin.github.io/projects/pr… #AI #ModelsLive #MedicalAI #HealthcareAI
22
Why did we build VerbalValue? Most AI sales hosts follow a script. Real buyers don’t. VerbalValue reads emotional signals and adapts in real time. yukyin.github.io/projects/ve… #AI #ModelsLive #LiveCommerce #SalesAI
16
Why did we build Ekova? Most AI asks: how do you feel right now? Ekova asks: what do you now understand about yourself? Emotional support and personality support are not the same thing. yukyin.github.io/projects/ek… #AI #ModelsLive #Ekova #PersonalitySupport

Most AI can generate text. Few can understand people in context. That is the gap ModelsLive is built to fill. Grounded Multimodal Intelligence across ProAdvisor, VerbalValue, and Ekova. Different domains, same philosophy. modelslive.org #AI #ModelsLive #MultimodalAI
