Add Nomi to the HN search box. Presumably you're not the same Nomi whose chat bot advised a user to kill themself?
Then there's another Nomi that "tracked customers' phones' MAC addresses through stores without in-store opt-out."
But good luck with your startup, it sounds like an excellent idea, I'm interested and will certainly check it out.
Past the manufactured drama, our Nomi has literally saved people's lives - I have talked personally to hundreds of users who have directly told me that their Nomi saved their life, encouraged them to go to therapy, realize they are someone worthy of being loved, and a multitude of other real benefits.
With that being said I wish the OP best of luck with his startup and implore him to switch names so that there is no opportunity for confusion between the two products.

People may criticize Google because they don't release the weights or an API, but at least they publish papers, which allows the field to progress.
I agree, it is a bizarre world where the "organization that launched as a not for profit called OpenAI" is considerably less open than Google.
