A New Era: Putting Consumer Voices Back at the Center

For too long, the bridge between businesses and consumers has been broken. Traditional research has been slow, expensive, and out of reach for most-shutting out smaller teams and undervaluing participants. The result has been disengagement, reports that fail to drive action, and products that miss the mark.

Cookiy AI is rebuilding that bridge. Its Agentic Voice AI goes beyond static surveys, traditional focus groups, and even one-on-one interviews-conducting dynamic, human-like conversations at scale. By combining the reach of automation with the nuance of a skilled moderator, it delivers the richness of deep conversations with the speed of modern AI. Every conversation is transformed into structured, decision-ready intelligence, helping teams replace guesswork with clarity- compressing months of research into actionable direction in under 48 hours . Cookiy AI turns consumer voices into a daily strategic advantage-making research faster, smarter, and finally accessible to all.

Founder's Journey: From Instagram and TikTok to Cookiy AI

Founder and CEO Davin YC Dong has experienced the shortcomings of consumer research from multiple vantage points. As one of the first 100 engineers at Instagram, he led growth science efforts that helped scale the platform to over one billion users. Over his career, Davin has headed growth for multiple iconic products, investing and managing several billions of dollars in marketing spend to scale six consumer products past 100 million users each. At TikTok, he spearheaded Pangle and the Global Emerging Business, leading a 600-person organization and building a profitable global B2B business that generated over $1B in revenue. Earlier, he launched Marvy, an Agentic AI for growth marketing developed through a go-to-market partnership with AWS. Backed by early investors including Liquid2 and Converge, Cookiy is now reshaping how businesses listen, learn, and act.
