Virtuals will launch a promising project tomorrow @allie2wai $AWAI, with many highlights, but there are also several concerns that will be addressed below.
First, the conclusion: I will participate, but I do not plan to go all in.
1/ Positive Points
First, the team
Co-founder @CalumWorthy, a Canadian actor and writer, has appeared in works including "Crimes," "Austin & Ally," "American Destruction," and "Reboot." He has won a Young Artist Award.
Another co-founder is Hollywood producer Russell Geyser, known for works such as "Hunting the Killer," "Smuggler," and "Honest Thief."
CPO @Masongos_ has worked at http://rally.io and the DeFi protocol Flamingo Finance, but the specific positions held are unclear.
Avatar Director @Alliestrasza has accumulated 500,000 followers across multiple platforms, has served as an esports commentator, and has collaborated with well-known game developers like Blizzard and Parallel.
Additionally, according to the founder's own disclosure, 2wai currently employs 24 engineers and 9 business developers.
Second, the track: Customized Digital Twin Platform
2wai allows users to create realistic HoloAvatars and interact with them through a web/app.
Underlying technology support:
• HoloAvatar Engine – Converts short selfies or videos into lip-synced, facially rendered avatars
• LiveRender Pipeline – Generates video and voice responses within seconds
• Avatar Memory Map – Tracks conversations and context to maintain response coherence
In my view, one of the most exciting aspects of 2wai is that users can create their digital avatars by uploading videos. This feature will be implemented soon.
Currently, 2wai has set up a temporary studio at 8215 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, where equipment will capture users' faces, voices, and personalities, transforming them into professional 2wai AI avatars. The event will end on July 27. Interested parties can check here: https://www.2wai.ai/visit-us
Application
The 2wai iOS app has now been launched. In the current application, users can chat with the following AI characters:
William Shakespeare
Private Chef "Luca"
Life Coach "Elara"
Astrologer "Celeste"
Personal Trainer "Darius"
Travel Assistant "Sky"
Chat Partner "Comfort Bear"
"Bored Ape 1059" (Bored Ape AI character)
2wai App Guide "Alina"
Co-founder Calum Worthy
And others
I checked, and there are currently 8 comments; not many people have experienced it yet.
Funding
In June 2025, 2wai completed a $5 million pre-seed funding round, with the investors undisclosed.

2/ Concerns
First, Alliewai ≠ 2wai
2wai is the AI twin platform that raised $5 million, while Alliewai is the flagship AI agent on 2wai.
You can think of $AWAI as a sub-token, which means that the empowerment weight of $AWAI will not be very high. The official announcement of $AWAI empowerment includes:
API Access – Use $AWAI to access the real-time avatar API, embedding Alliewai
Creator Tools – Unlock advanced features and discounts at the 2wai studio
Analytics Interface – Gain insights into engagement, sentiment, and conversation history
Governance Participation – Vote on Alliewai's roadmap, features, and evolution
Looking at the governance rights, it is clear that $AWAI unlocks governance rights for Alliewai, not for 2wai.
Secondly, the information disclosure is not comprehensive
Although the team is publicly known, some information mentioned in the official materials is not comprehensive or lacks verification materials. For example:
The funding sources have not been disclosed
Claims of having 14 patents but lack corresponding materials
Finally, here’s a link for participating in the new project for readers to research on their own:
