Helping people settle into a new country — with vetted guides and a private AI companion

Authentigrate supports people who move abroad for work or family, and the companies that relocate them. Culture shock, loneliness and small daily confusions add up — and many international moves fail because of it.

One platform had to connect three groups: people who are moving, experienced local “Navigators” who guide them, and HR teams who pay for the support. And it needed an AI companion people would trust with personal worries.

1. [01]
   A guided sign-up with a short wellbeing check-in
2. [02]
   A directory of Navigators with map search, profiles and availability
3. [03]
   Booking and payments, with Navigators paid out automatically
4. [04]
   In-app chat and video calls
5. [05]
   Identity checks, credentials and a signed agreement for every Navigator
6. [06]
   An admin console for approvals, earnings, disputes and support
7. [07]
   Journey — a private AI companion that notices which stage of culture shock someone is in and adapts its support

1. [01]
   Host the AI model privately, because people share personal struggles.
2. [02]
   Serverless GPUs that scale to zero, so the private AI stays affordable.
3. [03]
   Humans plus AI, not AI alone — the companion supports, Navigators guide.

For the technically curious. You don’t need to know any of this to work with me.
