Something is missing.
The app stores are full. But the things people actually need — tools that help them love better, stress less, give more, and feel less alone — are still mostly missing.
Disconnected relationships
Couples, families, and friends lack simple tools built around emotional needs — not just tasks and calendars. Most apps treat relationships as logistics problems.
Financial stress is relational
Money problems are one of the top causes of relationship breakdown. No app bridges personal finance and emotional wellbeing in a meaningful way.
AI companions lack soul
Existing AI companions are generic and forgettable. Users crave personality, lore, and a real sense of relationship — not a chatbot with a name.
The global mental wellness app market is worth $4.7B. The relationship tech space is growing at 18% annually — and deeply underserved in Southeast Asia.
Four apps. One idea.
Each app solves one human need. Built by a psychologist who understands why people connect, struggle, and grow — not just a developer who knows how to ship.

Mobile users in Malaysia
Primary
Malaysian mobile users aged 22–40. Digitally native, relationship-focused, and deeply underserved by Western-centric apps that don't understand local culture, language, or food.
Secondary
SEA regional expansion — Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand. Shared cultural values around family, community, and connection make these natural next markets.
Global
Thessia and Giraffe have global appeal. AI companion and community giving transcend geography — and both have proven global demand.
Four ways to grow revenue.
Every app has a clear monetisation model. Core features stay free. Premium unlocks the depth.
Freemium subscriptions
Core features free. Premium unlocks advanced features, unlimited usage, and exclusive content across Lovemob, Spendly, and Giraffe.
Spendly Enterprise
B2B expense management for Malaysian SMEs. Shared budgets, team dashboards, and admin controls for small businesses.
Thessia Premium
AI companion subscription. Exclusive stories, gifts, affection levels, and creator-authored content unlock progressively.
Thessia Creator Platform
Third-party authors create AI characters on the Thessia platform. Beanstalk takes a platform cut — building a creator economy around AI companionship.
Human vision. AI velocity.
Beanstalk runs on an AI-native studio model — a multi-agent system that builds, deploys, markets, and reports while human product sense leads the way.

AI tools have democratised app development — a lean team can now build what previously required a 10-person startup.
Malaysian app market is growing rapidly — local founders have a cultural and contextual advantage over international players.
Post-pandemic surge in demand for connection apps — loneliness, mental wellness, and community belonging are top consumer priorities globally.
Beanstalk's AI-native studio model produces faster, cheaper, and more iterative builds than any traditional development approach.
Conservative. Credible. Growing.

Tori Chew
Founder & Builder, Beanstalk Studio
I'm a psychologist by training and a builder by nature. I hold a Masters in Psychology, Education and Linguistics — a background that shapes every product decision at Beanstalk.
Then came Claude and AI — and everything accelerated. The ideas I used to sketch in notebooks are now products. I'm not just building faster. I'm building truer to the vision. This is my dream era and I'm fully in it.
