What happens when AI stops calculating—and starts connecting?
In this episode of the GenAIrous Podcast, host Srikanth Iyengar sits down with Himanshu Goyal, founder of Futr Studios and the mind behind Kyra, India’s first virtual influencer. Together, they explore a powerful shift in the GenAI landscape: from task automation to emotional interaction, from cold code to curated personality.
You’ll hear how Future Studios is building AI companions that remember, evolve, and even comfort—blurring the boundaries between human presence and digital intelligence.
This is not about replacing humans. It’s about creating a new layer of connection—where memory, empathy, and design are written into the code.
