Exploring how to build AI that genuinely understands human emotion.
Mollei is an open source research community exploring emotionally intelligent AI — thoughtfully, transparently, together.
What is Mollei?
We believe AI that interacts with humans should understand how humans feel. Mollei is exploring what it takes to make that possible.
This isn't another chatbot framework or sentiment analysis tool. We're researching the foundations of emotional intelligence in AI — how systems can recognize, interpret, and respond to human emotions with nuance and care.
Every design decision considers the humans on both sides: the developers exploring these ideas, and the people they're meant to help.
Why Open Source?
We believe emotionally intelligent AI should be built in the open — auditable, improvable, and owned by no one.
Transparency
Emotionally intelligent AI should be auditable. Every algorithm, every decision tree, every training approach — open for inspection.
Community
The best ideas come from diverse perspectives. We build with input from researchers, developers, ethicists, and the people who will use these tools.
Responsibility
Emotional AI carries weight. We build with safety, privacy, and ethics as foundations, not afterthoughts.
