Impact entrepreneur & investor.
Co-Founder & CEO of RHISE AI.

Building AI that serves humanity and our planet.

I co-founded RHISE AI, building Lucie, the first non-addictive, human-centered AI Life OS.

I dropped out of a Master’s at Stanford to build KONUX, an industrial-AI company. We scaled it to a $750M+ valuation and raised $200M+ across Europe and the US. Then, at 29, I burned out.

What I learned in that hospital bed became my life’s work: proving that AI can be built on love, ethics, and human flourishing, not extraction.

I serve on the World Economic Forum’s Global AI Council and write on Conscious AI. You can find me on LinkedIn.

A different narrative for AI.

The world doesn’t need more AI. It needs AI built to serve human alignment instead of undermining it: technology that serves your attention, energy, and purpose rather than exploiting them.

Lucie LIVE NOW
The ethical AI Life OS.
One intelligence for your health,
relationships, habits, and intentions.

Questions

Who is Andy Loy?
Andy Loy is a serial AI entrepreneur, Co-Founder and CEO of RHISE AI, and a leading voice for Conscious AI. He previously founded and scaled the industrial AI company KONUX to a $750M+ valuation and now builds Lucie, a non-addictive, human-centered AI Life OS.
What is Conscious AI?
Conscious AI is technology built to serve human attention, energy, and purpose rather than exploit them. It is defined by a pattern of decisions across privacy, transparency, autonomy, fairness, wellbeing, accountability, and sustainability, held under pressure rather than by marketing claims.
What is Lucie?
Lucie is an ethical LifeOS that understands the full context of your life — your health, relationships, habits, and intentions — and helps you live more consciously. By connecting the dots across your entire life, Lucie turns scattered signals into clarity, enabling aligned action and personal growth. We believe the LifeOS will become one of the defining technology categories of this century: a personal AI that serves as the operating system for intentional living.
Where is Andy Loy based?
Andy is based in Munich and builds European, privacy-first AI.
