[ 01 / 07 ] About the client

Who it’s for

Authentigrate supports people who move abroad for work or family, and the companies that relocate them. Culture shock, loneliness and small daily confusions add up, and many international moves fail because of it.

[ 02 / 07 ] The challenge

What needed to change

One platform had to connect three groups: people who are moving, experienced local “Navigators” who guide them, and HR teams who pay for the support. And it needed an AI companion people would trust with personal worries.

[ 03 / 07 ] The build

What we built

  1. [01]
    A guided sign-up with a short wellbeing check-in
  2. [02]
    A directory of Navigators with map search, profiles and availability
  3. [03]
    Booking and payments, with Navigators paid out automatically
  4. [04]
    In-app chat and video calls
  5. [05]
    Identity checks, credentials and a signed agreement for every Navigator
  6. [06]
    An admin console for approvals, earnings, disputes and support
  7. [07]
    Journey, a private AI companion that notices which stage of culture shock someone is in and adapts its support

[ 06 / 07 ] Key decisions

Decisions that mattered

  1. [01]
    Host the AI model privately, because people share personal struggles.
  2. [02]
    Serverless GPUs that scale to zero, so the private AI stays affordable.
  3. [03]
    People and AI together: the companion offers support and the Navigators do the guiding.
