Description
trophi.ai builds Kairos, an AI system meant to put expert-level instruction beside a person while they are performing a skill in real time, whether that is driving a race car in a simulator, flying an aircraft, or operating equipment in the field. Rather than reviewing performance afterward, Kairos observes what someone is doing, decides what matters most in the moment, and delivers spoken guidance while there is still time for it to change the outcome.

The product started as a consumer sim racing app. The company says it began by working with Scott Mansell, founder of the racing channel Driver61, to capture how he sees performance and when he intervenes, then built a system that could deliver similar coaching at scale. The sim racing product, sold as Mansell, gives real-time voice coaching through every corner, skill analysis that shows exactly where a driver is losing time, live telemetry comparison against an expert's data trace, and a detailed breakdown after each lap or stint. It supports titles including ACC, F1, iRacing, LMU and Rocket League, and includes tools to prepare for iRacing's Weekly Series events. The company states this consumer product has instructed over 100,000 learners and delivered more than 10 million coaching sessions, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 from thousands of reviews.
Built on that foundation, trophi.ai now also sells Kairos as a business platform for aviation, defense, drones, autonomous operations and oil and gas. An organization defines what good performance looks like for its own scenarios and procedures, and trophi.ai builds that judgment into an AI instructor that can be deployed wherever people train or operate. The company frames the pitch around a capacity problem: expert instructors cannot be everywhere, training stays inconsistent without them, and their judgment can disappear when they retire or move on. Kairos is positioned to preserve and scale that judgment instead.
The interface is voice-first: Kairos is designed to work through just an earpiece, with guidance spoken rather than displayed, and optional glanceable visual support on a phone, tablet, helm display or in-sim overlay when it's useful. trophi.ai also says the same intelligence can carry from simulator training into real operational environments, so learning transfers rather than resetting between the two.
The company describes itself as backed by investors including a16z, Z Venture Capital, Build Ventures and Calm Ventures, and as a Creative Destruction Lab AI company. Pricing for the sim racing product is listed on its own plans and pricing page; enterprise pricing for Kairos in aviation, defense and industrial settings is handled through direct contact with the company.
