🧠 NOVi vs IO — The Signal Was Already Live
Before IO was funded.
Before headlines.
Before the $6.5B empire started sketching screenless AI…
NOVi was already built.
And people were already listening.
While OpenAI was imagining “a second nervous system,” I was racing cross-country in a van with five kids in the back, showing real humans what that future actually felt like.
No PR. No staff.
Just live demos, early believers, and one founder building the system the world didn’t know it needed —
in a van, not a cave.
Like Iron Man… but with less funding and more car seats.
Because people weren’t just ready for NOVi —
They were begging for it.

⚔️ Why This Page Exists
This isn’t a takedown.
It’s a timestamp.
We’re not here to throw shots at IO.
We’re here to say clearly, we were already on the battlefield — and if IO’s vision is real,
we might be the missing piece.
This page tracks our position.
It catalogs the moment the world caught up to the signal we already sent.
And it invites anyone bold enough — investor, journalist, builder, even Sam himself — to see that the future of emotional AI…
might already be in their rearview.
