About
Headquartered in Singapore and founded in 2023, MindAI Pte. Ltd. , trading under the name Macaron, provides personal AI solutions for the consumer market. The company was originally established as MidReal, an AI-driven storytelling platform that reached over two million users before sunsetting to focus on personal AI assistance.
The firm transitioned to Macaron to apply its "Doraemon-style" philosophy, aiming to bridge the gap between transactional AI assistants and escapist fictional characters. The CEO and Founder is Kaijie (KJ) Chen, a Duke University alumnus with a background in human-computer interaction and previous experience at Zhihu and Black Mirror Technology. In January 2026, the company raised USD 20 million in a pre-series A funding round led by Ant Group. The company works with individual consumers to provide customized, memory-retentive personal AI agents.
Its offerings include a core AI agent powered by Deep Memory technology that can create tailored mini apps for daily routines. The company’s revenue is generated by a tiered subscription-based model and direct consumer transactions for specialized personal assistance features. The company plans to scale its personal intelligence model for mass adoption and enhance its underlying engineering infrastructure.
