YOU, ONLY VIRTUAL ยท AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE

Trusted AI.

Human at its core.

YOV develops Versonas: AI representations shaped by a person's identity, knowledge, communication style, and relationship context.

Across healthcare, institutions, and personal legacy, we're building new ways to extend meaningful human connection.

AUTHENTIC INTELLIGENCE

AI that knows who it represents.

Most AI speaks the same way to everyone. A Versona is built around one authorized person and the relationship it is speaking within. We call this Authentic Intelligence.

01

Identity

Every Versona represents a specific, authorized person or institution, and says so clearly.

02

Knowledge

It draws on approved source material: the personโ€™s own words, expertise, and information.

03

Relationship

It adapts to who is listening, the way people naturally do.

04

Boundaries

It stays within its purpose and hands off to real people when judgment is needed.

EXAMPLE

One physician. One test result. Three conversations.

PATIENT

Plain language, reassurance, what happens next.

COLLEAGUE

Values, clinical terms, the reasoning.

FAMILY

Warmth first, details second.

THE YOV ECOSYSTEM

One foundation. Focused businesses.

YOV develops the shared technology. Each business applies it to a distinct human need.

HEALTHCARE

Authentic Health Connection (AHC)

Extending trusted connection between appointments.

Clearly identified physician Versonas support bounded patient check-ins and organize what patients report into summaries that care teams review.

For health systems, physician groups, and care teams

INSTITUTIONS

YOV Reach

A more human connection between institutions and the people they serve.

Authorized leader and institutional Versonas help people find approved information and reach the right team, while showing institutions what people actually need.

For universities, public institutions, and large organizations

REMEMBRANCE

AfterBloom

A dedicated home for remembrance and continuing connection.

YOVโ€™s grief technology subsidiary carries forward the work where YOV began: stories, legacy, and connection for individuals and families.

For individuals and families

YOV IMMERSION

Bespoke digital presence, made with care.

We capture a personโ€™s stories, knowledge, and way of speaking, then design an interactive experience around them. Each project is built to order, with the subjectโ€™s permission at its center.

01   Family legacy

02   Leadership knowledge

03   Education

04   Museums and culture

OUR APPROACH TO TRUST

A familiar face is not enough.

A convincing voice does not make an AI reliable. These four principles guide how we design every Versona. How each one is put into practice depends on the product and the deployment, and we walk every partner through the specifics.

01

Authorized identity

We represent people and institutions who have given permission, or whose authorized representatives have.

02

Relevant source material

Versonas draw on approved information chosen for their purpose.

03

Clear AI disclosure

People should always know they are speaking with an AI representation.

04

Human responsibility

Decisions that matter stay with qualified people.

WHERE YOV BEGAN

It started with one relationship.

Justin Harrison founded YOV after two life-changing events arrived at once: a near-fatal motorcycle accident and his motherโ€™s terminal cancer diagnosis. What he feared losing was not information. It was the particular way she spoke to him.

That insight, that every relationship holds its own version of a person, became the foundation of every Versona. Today it shapes work in healthcare, institutions, and remembrance.
