The company has scaled rapidly since its 2020 inception in Cambridge, UK, evolving from a small sibling-led project into a high-revenue player in the social AI space. Despite this growth, CHAI maintains a lean team of roughly 15 employees, who recently logged intense weekend hours to overhaul the platform’s safety infrastructure. Beauchamp describes the new iteration as a holistic system designed to balance user engagement with strict ethical oversight.

CHAI AI Targets Growth and Safety in Apple App Store Review
As CHAI AI awaits approval for its latest app update from Apple, CEO William Beauchamp is positioning the platform—now generating $100 million in annual revenue—as a safer, more robust environment. The Palo Alto-based firm is banking on a new governance system to manage its millions of daily users.
Central to this effort is an aggressive approach to algorithmic security, including rigorous red-teaming where staff attempt to bypass their own safeguards to identify vulnerabilities. The updated governance framework introduces enhanced tools for human oversight, a move intended to curb misuse of user-generated content and keep the platform aligned with broader social values. By grounding their development in the philosophy of centering AI research on human benefit, the leadership team aims to sustain the app’s popularity while mitigating the risks inherent in large-scale social AI.
