Same mission. Better execution.

From Smalltalk to Jelly: fully leveraging AI for next-level social experiences. Refer to Pt.1 - Smalltalk for additional context.

As we moved forward, Smalltalk, which started as an innovative phone call platform, evolved in response to valuable user insights. It transformed into Jelly to better adapt, designing more around AI-driven features for enhanced social engagement, shareability, and interactivity.

Jelly isn't a pivot but an evolved iteration of Smalltalk. Just before launch, we integrated AI into the platform. Follow-up usability tests (20 moderated sessions) highlighted the importance of focusing our design efforts on these new features while empowering users to create and share content. Through strategic planning and exploratory sketches, Jelly took shape.

We raised $2M, but Apple's similar release in June 2024 prompted us to pivot. Like many companies before us, we embraced this crucible moment, quickly adapting. Although Iqram ultimately decided to pause operations at the end of last year, our journey wasn't in vain. We reimagined phone calls as a truly user-centric, dynamic tool for human connection, and what an exhilarating ride it was.
