About MiAO AI
MiAO AI was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in Singapore, having raised over SGD 95 million from globally renowned investors. Our founding team previously built large-scale live-service gaming products with over 25 million DAU and 100 million MAU.
Our mission: Let AI discover you.
The next leap in AI isn't about getting smarter it's about becoming yours. Seventy years of AI research keep proving the same thing: general methods win over clever designs. Models are getting stronger. Protocols are converging. Infrastructure is commoditizing. But one layer remains scarce the layer that makes AI truly yours.
We're building personal AI agents an AI that knows you better on day 30 than day 1, not because it got stronger, but because you shaped it.
Our workflow is 100% AI-driven engineering, product, operations, no exceptions. No middle management. Radically flat. Every team member gets unlimited access to frontier AI models. We spend on efficiency, not process.
Who we're looking for: Believe in the Bitter Lesson let AI discover, not discover for it.
