BeingAI is a Hong Kong-based AI company founded in 2020 that specializes in creating emotionally intelligent virtual characters called AI beings. Their mission is to foster trust and engagement between humans and AI, aiming to co-create a positive future focused on learning, wellbeing, and creative collaboration. The company’s flagship character, Zbee, is a transmedia AI being featured across interactive platforms. BeingAI combines 3D animation, real-time interaction, and AI-driven storytelling to offer customized digital companions for education, entertainment, and wellness applications. The company also operates a Creator Studio for designing and deploying AI beings and has expanded its presence internationally with a U.S. headquarters at WKU Innovation Campus.
(BeingAI does not have an official registered Chinese company name. Its legally registered name is BeingAI Limited, and in Hong Kong corporate records and the company’s own materials it is presented exclusively under the English name “BeingAI,” without an adopted or filed Chinese-language equivalent. In Chinese-language media, academic discussions, and industry commentary, the company is therefore typically referred to directly as BeingAI (sometimes informally rendered as “BeingAI 团队” or “BeingAI 公司”), while its flagship AI being Zbee is likewise branded only in English rather than under a standardized Chinese name.)
