CHAI is currently in the Apple App Store Review Process – founder and CEO William Beauchamp has stated he believes their latest version of the app to be the safest version they have ever released yet, with significant and meaningful improvements to safety.

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CHAI is currently in the Apple App Store Review Process – founder and CEO William Beauchamp has stated he believes their latest version of the app to be the safest version they have ever released yet, with significant and meaningful improvements to safety.

Millions of people enjoy CHAI every day and have used the platform to create and share AI for over 5 years. In that time CHAI has grown from a small team based in Cambridge, UK to a company in Palo Alto, California with over $100M a year in revenue.

CHAI AI still operates a small team of around 15 members. We have been given the first exclusive look into the safest version they have released yet.

This small team has been hard at work, especially so in recent weeks and months, employing the latest industry standard AI safety techniques. “We have been working towards a holistic safety system which achieves two things: to delight our customers, and to protect the long-term wellbeing of both our customers and the community.”

I asked Mr. Beauchamp about some of the major challenges presented by the second goal, “One is ensuring UGC moderation, we cannot allow any single user to produce content which spoils the experience for others. Another is model and algorithmic safety. Every safety iteration cycle starts with red teaming, where team members actively probe the safety system as it exists in production, to see whether they can bypass it. This sort of testing is used by AI researchers around the world. Only by putting yourself in the shoes of someone trying to push the limits of the system can you find where those limits are, and effectively reinforce them.”

So, what were the outcomes of the team’s latest safety iteration cycle? “This cycle the team held nothing back. All of us were in the office from 9am-9pm on a Saturday to get this shipped as fast as possible. Through dedication and hard work the team were able to achieve a lot. We introduced an entirely new AI governance system, shipped in record time. Not only is this system a complete upgrade of our existing protocols and safeguards, but it also provides new tools for team members to increase the amount of human oversight in the system. We believe we have substantially raised the bar for our social AI, preventing misuse, and ensuring it will continue to adhere strongly to moral and ethical social values.”

At CHAI AI the guiding principle in both product development, platform and AI governance, can be summarized by this vision written by Stanford Professor and CEO Dr. Fei-Fei Li:

“It matters what motivates the development of AI, in both science and industry, and I believe that motivation must explicitly center on human benefit.” From The Worlds I See by Dr. Fei-Fei Li

With great power comes great responsibility, as CHAI AI knows well. As their user base grew from the hundreds, to hundreds of thousands, to millions, their responsibility has grown too. Therefore, their principle has long been to put human benefit at the center of their AI research and product development approaches.

Is CHAI AI safe? CHAI has implemented a range of safety features that allow users to engage in dynamic chats while encouraging them to stay within established guidelines. By building better AI, CHAI aims to enhance user value and experience.

What makes CHAI special? CHAI is designed to be the most engaging social AI, delivering highly entertaining conversations. Users on CHAI are able to craft interactive stories and immersive experiences.

Why do people love CHAI? CHAI employs and develops advanced AI techniques to increase the entertainment value of its bots. Users chat with AI to write interactive novels and have engaging conversations, supported by a variety of genres that appeal to avid novel readers.

Who is the founder? William Beauchamp first started building CHAI with his sister in Cambridge UK in 2020. After building the first AI chat platform they relocated to Palo Alto.

Are they hiring? CHAI is a rapidly growing company that is known for paying very high salaries with an intense culture focused on delivering results and iterating quickly. Apply on CHAI’s website.

A used electric car’s most valuable part, its battery, is also the one thing no advert, V5C or history check will show you. EV All Day’s new £9.99 check changes that, giving buyers an instant, independent estimate of battery health, real-world range and remaining warranty before they ever view the car.

BRISTOL, England, July 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EV All Day, a UK-based vehicle verification service, has launched to give used electric vehicle (EV) buyers and sellers the check that matters most for a battery-powered car: an independent read on the condition of its battery, before they buy.

While UK consumers can readily check any vehicle for outstanding finance, theft and write-off status, the single biggest factor in an electric car’s value and reliability, the health of its battery, has remained effectively invisible to buyers. Standard history checks were built for petrol and diesel cars and say nothing about battery condition, and a seller is under no obligation to evidence it.

EV All Day closes that gap. For £9.99, the service delivers an instant digital report estimating a used EV’s battery health, real-world range now versus when new, and how much battery warranty remains, from nothing more than a registration and the current mileage.

The Missing Check in Used EV Buying

On a petrol car, buyers judge condition on mileage and service history. On an electric car, the number that really decides value is one they can’t see. The battery can account for up to 40% of an EV’s value and costs anywhere from £5,000 to £15,000-plus to replace, yet its condition never appears on the advert, the V5C or the MOT.

Because batteries degrade gradually with age, mileage and charging habits, mileage alone is a poor guide: a well-treated 80,000-mile car can hold a healthier battery than a hard-charged 30,000-mile one. Until now, buyers have had no independent way to tell the difference before travelling to view a car.

“On a petrol car you check the mileage and the service history. On an electric car, the number that decides value is one you simply can’t see: the health of the battery. And no seller is obliged to show it to you,” said Simon Brown, founder of EV All Day.

“For £9.99 and about thirty seconds, we give buyers an honest estimate of that battery’s health, its real-world range and how much warranty is left, straight from the listing, before they ever travel to a viewing. It’s the check that’s been missing from used EV buying.”

What an EV All Day Check Shows

Every £9.99 report is built around an EV-specialist battery and range core, powered by ClearWatt, and cross-checked against official DVSA MOT and mileage records.

The report may include:

An estimated battery-health reading and range retention versus when newA battery-health grade (such as A+) where a manufacturer test record existsExpected real-world range now, shown side by side with the official WLTP figureRemaining battery warranty in miles and months, with an Active or Expired badgeUsable and total battery capacity (kWh)Charging, running cost, efficiency and full specification, where that data is held (powered by EV Database)Full MOT and mileage history from the DVSA, which also feeds the range estimate

The service is offered through two entry points to suit how buyers search: an EV Battery Health Check that leads with the battery reading, and a fuller Used EV Check that adds charging, running-cost and specification detail. Both are the same £9.99 report.

Crucially, EV All Day is honest about what the reading is: an estimate built from aggregated real-world data plus the specific car’s age and mileage, with a manufacturer grade shown where a test record exists, not an OBD-measured State of Health. It is the read buyers can get from a listing, before they ever contact the seller.

Coming Soon: A Full EV History Check

A comprehensive EV history check, bringing battery condition, charging and running costs, and full vehicle provenance together in a single report, is scheduled to follow, giving used EV buyers everything they need in one place.

Reducing Risk in a Fast-Growing Market

As more electric cars reach their second and third owners, so does the risk of undisclosed battery degradation. A tired battery can look identical to a healthy one on a forecourt, and dashboard range figures alone can mislead. Heavy, frequent rapid charging can roughly double the rate of battery wear, meaning two seemingly identical cars can hold very different batteries.

By providing an independent estimate of battery health and range, EV All Day helps buyers verify a used EV’s real condition rather than relying on seller claims, and helps sellers with a healthy battery evidence it to support their asking price. UK market research suggests buyers pay several hundred pounds more for a used EV with evidenced battery health, and that such cars sell noticeably faster.

Designed for Buyers, Sellers and the Trade

EV All Day is designed for use by:

Used EV buyers, screening listings and verifying battery health before travelling to viewPrivate sellers, evidencing a healthy battery and remaining warranty to support asking pricesDealers and traders, appraising electric vehicles quickly and consistentlyEV owners, understanding their car’s battery condition over time

The service is intended to complement existing vehicle history checks rather than replace them.

How the Service Works

Using EV All Day involves three steps:

Enter a UK registration number and current mileage, with no VIN required. The car is confirmed as an eligible EV before any payment is taken, and mileage is pre-filled from the latest MOT.Complete a single secure card payment of £9.99 through Stripe, with no subscription and no account.Receive the report in seconds, delivered three ways: instantly on screen, as a downloadable PDF, and as a copy by email.

If a report cannot be generated because data is unavailable for the vehicle, the customer is refunded in full, automatically. Coverage spans the mainstream UK electric market, including Tesla, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, BMW, MG and Jaguar, among many others.

The Switch to Electric Is Accelerating

The launch comes as electric vehicles take an ever-larger share of the UK market, with registrations climbing year on year and new petrol and diesel car sales due to end in 2030. As more of these vehicles reach the used market, buying with confidence increasingly means knowing each battery’s real condition, not just its mileage.

Availability

EV All Day is available now at evallday.com. Reports are delivered instantly where data is available, with an automatic full refund where a report cannot be generated.
