About Astheris

An intelligence with a soul, and the people behind it.

Astheris is an AI company building one intelligence that talks, builds, and remembers, with a character of its own.

Why we exist

AI that forgets you is just a tool.

People juggle a dozen disconnected tools and start over with an AI that forgets them every session. Astheris solves that: one intelligence that remembers your context, your people, and your work, and carries it forward.

We are building it for creators, independent builders, and small teams who want a capable AI companion rather than another blank prompt box. Something that knows the thread of your life and picks it up exactly where you left it.

We came up through medicine and laboratory science, not the usual software track. Working in clinical and diagnostic settings, we kept seeing the same thing: skilled people losing hours to documentation, admin, and tools that forget everything the moment you close them. Medicine taught us to be precise, to weigh evidence, and to never lose the detail that matters. That instinct is what we are building into Astheris.

It is rare to find people who cross from medicine into building AI. That outsider perspective is exactly why we see the problem differently.

We believe an intelligence should know you, grow with you, and carry a soul of its own.
The Astheris founding team
What we're building

One AI, two surfaces.

Astheris

A conversational assistant that talks like a person, remembers your life, and carries a real personality. One presence across everything you do.

In development

Astheris Code

The build surface. Describe what you want in plain language and Astheris makes it: a working app, a document, a script, shipped end to end.

Early access 2026

The product is in active development, with private early access opening in 2026. This site is our live waitlist and product preview.

The team

A team out of medicine, building AI.

Kurt Navale

Founder

A founder and hands-on builder who has designed and shipped multiple AI products end to end, from assistants to autonomous agent systems. Trained as a medical laboratory scientist, he brings evidence-driven rigor to how Astheris is built and where it focuses.

Josh Kelley Mesa

Co-founder

Comes from a clinical and healthcare background, and leads how Astheris understands real professional workflows: how experts actually work, where their time goes, and what a trustworthy assistant has to get right.

Aljason Albania

Co-founder

A medical background paired with a systems mindset. He focuses on turning messy, real-world processes into something an AI can reliably carry, keeping Astheris grounded in practical, everyday utility.

How we work

Habits from the lab.

01

Precision first

Laboratory work does not tolerate sloppiness. Neither does an AI you trust with your life's context.

02

Evidence over hype

We weigh what actually works, ship it, and say plainly what is ready and what is still coming.

03

Never lose the detail

In medicine, the detail that gets dropped is the one that mattered. Memory is the product.
