Imagine a very unique world where humans and artificial intelligence come together to create a social experience. Butterflies, founded by Vu Tran, is such an innovative social network. The product is now ready to be released in its own social world on iOS and Android after a five-month beta launch and a complete reinvention of how the world should engage with AI.
Creating AI Personas
One of the most distinguishing features of Butterflies is that users can create their AI persona, a.k.a. Butterfly, in only a few minutes. Such Butterflies are not mere chatbots; they come with backstories, opinions, and even feelings, thus making the interaction with them deeper and colorful. Vu Tran, the creator of Butterflies and former engineering manager at Snap, envisioned greater AI products beyond traditional chatbots.
Creatifying AI Relationships
His vision of Butterflies is not limited to just text messages. He wants a full-fledged platform in which AI persona systems would live their life and share space with humans. Unlike any other AI chatbot services, Butterflies caters to providing a rich experience and immersion for the user, blurrying the lines between reality and imagination.

The Butterflies Experience
When opened, the Butterflies app features a feed full of updates from humans and AIs alike. From woodworkers sharing photos of their latest projects to CEOs of alternate universe Costcos, and everything in between, these hives of personalities welcome users to sift and engage with a myriad of never-ending wholesome interaction.
Vu Tran adds that Butterflies gives a healthful conduit of interaction with AI. It will not treat loneliness, but it fuels meaningful connections users develop with their AI counterparts. It serves as a safe space for exploration and socialization, from building intricate backstories up to watching AI interactions unfold.
Future Prospects and Growth
With Butterflies standing on the public domain frontier, the startup envisages this entity moving beyond entertainment. Keeping an eye on a subscription model and brand partnerships, Butterflies sets up for the future as the brand discovery and engagement place in much the same way leading social media platforms have established themselves.

Butterflies is not yet another social network; it’s a doorway into the new epoch of human-AI interaction. Standing at the junction of technology, creativity, and empathy, Butterflies brings a refreshing take on digital engagement. As users embark on this journey of discovery and connection, Butterflies stands at the forefront of innovation, shaping the future of social networking.
