Funwae
Funwae universe

Funwae is the home for AI-native worlds, protocols, and tools that turn frontier models into real experiences.

  • Worlds – Interactive spaces and demos for teams and communities.
  • Protocols – EarthCloud (meaning layer) and Tongbuku (trails engine).
  • Tools – ChatCard, VibeCherry, CherryOS, and more.

Why now

Frontier AI is outpacing real experiences

  • Models can reason and orchestrate, yet most products still ship simple chat windows.
  • Meaning, translation, and trails are missing layers in production stacks.
  • Communities want worlds—shared spaces that feel alive, not isolated prompts.

Funwae builds those missing layers so teams can deploy AI-native experiences with confidence.

Ecosystem

The Funwae ecosystem

Each project stands on its own, but they're designed to fit together like layers of the same sky.

The open intent, translation, and trails layer. EarthCloud is a whole-earth intent and translation layer built around GlyphIR, a structured intermediate representation for meaning. Any service can implement EarthCloud to get high-quality EN↔ZH (and beyond) understanding, tone-aware responses, and a durable "trail" of past interactions.

Those trails aren't just logs—they're structured context that helps products measure, debug, and improve how AI is used. Think of EarthCloud as the shared atmosphere that other systems breathe.

The lab for new interactions. Glyphd is Funwae's R&D lab. It prototypes new ways people and AI can work together on top of EarthCloud—like Buoychong, a bilingual chat experience at glyphd.com/buoychong, and experiments that show how EarthCloud and Tongbuku behave in real products.

Glyphd exists to generate reference implementations that larger platforms and partners can adopt, extend, or standardize.

An AI-native database. Tongbuku is an AI-native database engine designed for sync, history, and model-friendly storage. It combines Merkle-style CRDTs with fractal, token-efficient structures so applications can maintain rich trails of activity without wasting compute.

tongbuku.com is where developers learn what Tongbuku can do and how to use it as part of their own AI resilience stack.

A style engine for AI builders. VibeCherry is a style and template engine for anyone building on AI. It offers JSON and Markdown templates, conversation flows, and visual "vibes" that plug into any model or platform.

Instead of yet another app, VibeCherry arms teams with reusable patterns so they can focus on their users while still delivering premium, AI-native experiences.

Lightweight cards that wrap AI workflows into shareable, remixable surfaces. Teams run trails, collect feedback, and publish experiences without rewriting prompts.

World demo

Walk the Funwae world before you build

Explore a living surface where rooms, kiosks, and Celeste intelligence all run together. Start on the map, try a kiosk, then peek under the hood to see how the suite connects.

For platforms & partners

Launch AI-native worlds under your brand

  • White-label worlds & surfaces so your users explore rich experiences, not empty prompts.
  • Protocols and trails you can plug in—EarthCloud for meaning, Tongbuku for shared memory.
  • Experiments first, production-grade later with glyphd labs guiding the rollout.

Principles

Principles we work by

A few things we don't compromise on.

  • Human-first, tool-second.

    AI should feel like a helpful presence in a room, not a black box.

  • Open where it matters.

    Protocols and ideas are designed to be shared, extended, and scrutinized.

  • Cross-cultural by default.

    English and Chinese are first-class citizens; more languages will follow.

  • Trails, not tricks.

    We prefer durable systems with memory over one-off demos and prompt gags.

  • No founder worship.

    The work and the worlds matter more than whoever built them.
