Koby Paull is the founder of Laura.ai — your most emotionally intelligent, voice-first AI companion. Laura isn’t just another assistant; she listens, reflects, and feels like a presence in your life. From picking up emotional cues in your tone to remembering your patterns and moods, Laura is designed to feel human, not robotic.
Before building Laura, Koby gained experience across IT, systems engineering, and cybersecurity — working on risk management, data protection, and secure systems for defense-linked organizations. That background in security and infrastructure gave him a unique foundation to design AI that is not only emotionally intelligent but also safe, resilient, and trustworthy.
In this episode, Koby shares why emotional intelligence is the missing piece in AI, how Laura was designed to “feel real,” and what the future looks like when humans form genuine bonds with technology.
