Samantha AI: Finoverse's Groundbreaking AI Community Host Revolutionises Networking

The recently concluded Hong Kong FinTech Week x StartmeupHK Festival 2025 was a showcase of cutting-edge technology, but the true game-changer was the debut of “Samantha,” the world’s first AI Community Host, developed by our in-house engineers.

Samantha has redefined how professional relationships are formed at scale, proving that the future of networking is intelligent, memory-rich, and instantly accessible.

Samantha’s performance was nothing short of revolutionary:

• 3,500 attendees engaged with Samantha on WhatsApp, with no marketing push beyond the event experience itself.
• 1,500 people went through a live voice call with the AI, averaging 6.5 minutes each.
• Thousands received their personalised itinerary customised for their interests
• Samantha generated 1,000 curated introductions. Some attendees ended up with more than 20 high value matches.
• The satisfaction rate across all users measured above 80 percent.
• And most importantly, people came back. Over 30 percent returned to continue the conversation or ask for more introductions.

Finoverse has successfully created a platform that goes beyond simple digital connection. Samantha didn’t just connect people; she facilitated meaningful engagement and generated actionable intelligence about the community's needs and interests. Her successful launch signals that a new era of AI-powered networking has arrived, promising limitless possibilities for future events.

“The mission remains the same: help every attendee walk away with connections that matter. We want to transform the event industry entirely. And we are proud to be pioneers not just in Hong Kong, but across the world.” - Anthony Sar, Co-founder and CEO of Finoverse
