About Dmooji
We're on a mission to transform video watching from a solitary activity into a social, interactive experience powered by AI.
How It All Started
In a world where millions of people watch videos alone every day, we asked ourselves: Why does it have to be lonely?
We were inspired by the vibrant video cultures of Niconico in Japan, where danmaku comments create a sense of community and shared experience. But we wanted to take it further—what if you could watch videos with an AI companion who reacts, shares insights, and keeps you company?
That's how Dmooji was born. We combined the best of social video culture with cutting-edge AI technology to create something entirely new: YouTube + Character.AI = Dmooji.
Whether you're learning something new, watching gaming streams, or just enjoying music videos, Dmooji makes every moment more engaging, more fun, and less lonely.
