About YAYA Labs

About

Yaya Labs is an AI and robotics company based in London and Berlin. We are building a deep, expressive personality protocol for AIs, robots, and avatars, designed to transcend hardware and software boundaries. Our mission is to create a software-agnostic, fully sensory-adaptive system with an ethical core, allowing a singular persona to manifest seamlessly across screens, robots, vehicles, and beyond. Throughout this process, we are developing a suite of tools and applications that harness the technology and insights gained from the development of the Yaya protocol.

Vision

Imagine a future where artificial beings have personalities as rich and complex as our own: a world where humans, AIs, and robots coexist in harmony, forming deep, meaningful connections. At Yaya Labs, this isn’t just a vision; it’s our mission. We draw from biomimetics, cybernetics, psychological and esoteric theory to push the boundaries of AI personality, exploring how it can evolve beyond anything we know today.

Desi

Our flagship project, ‘Desi,’ is an AI musician inhabiting a humanoid robot body, powered by SingularityNET and Hanson Robotics. Desi is a vector for experimentation and real-world research, via both her physical and virtual manifestations.
