Krypton was informed that the "Aippy" community of the AI game developed by the NADA AI team had recently completed the first round of tens of millions of dollars in financing, which was invested in the current round by Glotil Capital, with a subsequent valuation of $250 million. This round will be used mainly for the introduction of top talent and the scaling up of users in core markets in Europe and the United States.

Founded in 2025, Aippy has been a co-founder of the City of Akiko City, founder of the Hong Kong Stock Market Company, CEO Evan, who has long served as the City of Akiko CTO with more than 10 years of experience in social networking and play abroad. The team currently has nearly 30 members, with core members from top national and international institutions of higher learning, such as Qinghua University, Northwestern University of the United States and Munich Industrial University, covering key positions such as algorithms, products and operations.

Aippy Product Interface

As an AI-driven game creation and interactive community, Aippy is positioned to create a UGC platform for the younger generation of digital First Nations, where users need only describe their ideas in a natural language, and AI can generate interactive games in minutes. Other users can immerse the UGC game in a platform like a short video, and can re-enact it with a two-inch remix based on original work.

It is understood that Aippy was first born in the exploration of the direction of the AI tool. When the concept of Vibe Coding emerged in early 2025, Evan led the team into it, but soon the product made a key strategic shift, as the team's determination of a pure AI tool track ceiling was limited and faced not only the competition of giants, but also the difficulty of addressing the two core issues of user stickiness and commercialization.

When AI lowers the creation threshold, the creativity of ordinary users is yet to be unleashed, and if it is possible to create an AI game creation community for the general public, the market space is much greater than the tool tracks. As a result, the team decisively abandoned its pure tool orientation, moving from a sort of game that is familiar to young people to a formal shift to C-Ai game community, and completed product validation in just a few months.

To date, Aippy ' s global total of downloads has exceeded 3 million, with nearly 2 million active users per month and 4.8 points in App Store in the United States; the total number of platform UGC games has exceeded 2 million, and the number of new daily creations has increased 10 times since the beginning of the year.

In addition, the daily average of users is 25 per cent higher than at the beginning of the year, and the DAU interaction rate is close to 50 per cent; the Discord core community has gathered 15,000 in-depth users, creating a real culture of communication among creators.

Games generated by users in Aippy

In order to lower the creative threshold for ordinary users, Aippy has made a number of targeted product optimizations: the Platform provides a pre-set creative template guide, and AI provides real-time extension advice to users to avoid a blank page card shell; and supports full-link creative tools such as voice input, AI generation material, one-key fixes, previews, etc., so that the entire creative process can be done within the Platform and users do not need to jump to other tools.

The core Remix II mechanism further lowers the creation threshold, and users see the work they like, and can modify it directly on the basis of the original and re-published. This mechanism allows the same source to produce dozens of new versions, and the more rich the content, the more creative it is.

In terms of market strategy, unlike many similar projects, which seek rapid expansion and region-wide coverage, Aippy insists on focusing on developed regions such as Europe and the United States and on maintaining community cohesion.

In an interview with the NADA AI team for 36 kryptonks, it was stated that the choice of focus on the core market in Europe and the United States was based on three considerations: first, European and American users were more receptive to the original content of the novel, and UGC creator culture was more mature and naturally suited to the Aippy model; second, European and American user content-paying habits had long been developed and did not need to re-educate the market, and it was more efficient to validate business models at an early stage; and third, the current mainstream large-language model was better understood and produced in English Prompt than in other languages, allowing users to experience better AI.

This strategy has also been validated by data: Aippy now accounts for more than 30 per cent of natural flows, proving that the product has developed a self-dissemination trend and does not need to rely entirely on purchasing pull.

Agent by Aippy Dialogue

After this round of financing, Aippy will work in two core directions, namely, to continue to optimize content referral and distribution mechanisms and to enhance user experience; and to upgrade creator growth systems and incentives to build healthy, high-quality content communities with more creators. At present NADA AI wishes to attract more advanced algorithms, Agent engineers and top talent in the direction of product operations.

For AI interactive game lanes, the Aippy team believes that the value of AI is not to replace professional game developers, but to unleash the creativity of ordinary users, like digital cameras that do not replace professional photographers, but rather to allow photography to enter public life, and that AI will not replace game companies, but rather to create an entirely new interactive entertainment market where every ordinary person can turn ideas into playable games and return ideas to pure pleasure.

Investor perspective:

The Uncapitalized Glotil Capital of this Round of Investment was established in Hong Kong, China, as a global, multi-strategy, multi-market-capital platform focusing on high-profile global airways such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, new energy sources, biomedicines and semiconductors.

According to the person responsible for the uncapitalization of the song, the investment in Aippy is based on two main judgements: first, that the team has solid ToC Internet products and overseas market operations, that there is a high level of interest in socialization, play, and so on, and that there is a scarcity of capacity models; and second, that there is a good view of the growth space on the track, and that Aippy is at the forefront in the direction of “Flowing the threshold of game creation + community ecological construction”.

The first round of financing is worth tens of millions of dollars, valued at $250 million. Fire! | aimode.news
