Zen builds a webcam-based posture mirroring app that detects slouching and alerts users so they can correct their posture. The core posture-correction feature runs locally on-device, is largely open source, and mirrors posture via a discreet stick-man UI. Zen offers a consumer subscription (1,000+ users) and an enterprise version sold to roughly 30 companies, including over a dozen enterprises. The company emphasizes privacy: the AI processes visuals offline, does not record or store camera feeds, and employers receive only aggregated, anonymous engagement metrics. Zen disclosed $3.5M in pre-seed funding and says it will use the capital to expand its team and accelerate product development. Future plans include switching the consumer product to a freemium model, adding workday integrations (Slack, Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams), building mobile/tablet versions, pursuing partnerships and clinical studies, and exploring ergonomic hardware and alternative sensor approaches.
