In 2013, AIG launched Uplive, an independent global video-social platform that allows video social hosts to broadcast worldwide and in real-time.[8][9] As of December 13, 2021, the platform has over 300 million registered users across over 200 countries and regions.[10][11][12]
Uplive offers a variety of features, including HTML direct gaming through the app and a gifting feature. It also allows joint live streams of up to 9 users and one-on-one streaming battles.[13] In addition, in partnership with Google, it provides real-time text-to-text and speech-to-text translations for over 120 languages.[14][15][16]
In 2018, Uplive received the “King of the Ocean” award at the 36Kr “King of the New Economy” Conference. Then in the following year, Uplive was named one of the most influential brands by Twitter.[17]
Lamour[edit]
In 2019, AIG launched a voice and video-based mobile dating app, Lamour, AIG’s flagship product in its dating-centric product matrix. Lamour’s features include real-time video, voice and text messages, and mini-games. In 2020, Lamour became the most downloaded dating-focused social app in emerging markets (MEM) and the third-most downloaded dating app outside mainland China.[18]
CuteU[edit]
CuteU incorporates real-time video matching, where users get to actually video or voice chat with each other first in order to make more informed choices about pursuing a relationship further. The app's real-time video matching function adds more meaningful layers to the dating process than traditional dating apps, which can base connections solely on appearances. In addition to fostering authentic connections, CuteU's proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics-based recommendation algorithm also helps increase the average matching rate on the app. CuteU ranked top 3 worldwide in downloads by App Annie.
Haya[edit]
Haya is a dedicated voice-centric social app for users who prefer to socialize and interact without using a camera. Haya currently targets South Asia and the Middle East users and will expand into additional regions.
