What we believe
Portal Interactive makes consumer AI. We believe it should be fun, social and human.
Make AI fun
Not everything has to be useful. We think AI should make you laugh before it makes you faster. We mean the kind of fun you can hear from the next room.
Make AI human
Nothing beats the person beside you. Friends should be people. We don’t make AI friends. We make things to do with yours, and a reason to look up at each other.
For your own time
Most AI is made for work. It writes the email and gives you an hour back. Consumer AI is for that hour, and the people you spend it with.
Say hello
We like company. A question, an idea or a plain hello will do.
Where the pictures come from
Every picture on this site is a real work of art, made between 1865 and 1920. We chose them because they show the time people keep for each other, which is what we think AI is for. The museums that own them have released these images for anyone to use. We cropped and resized them, and retouched nothing. No museum named here has any part in this site.

Make AI social
Anything good is best passed around. That is why AI is more fun with other people. We want AI you can bring to your people, never AI you leave them for.
