About the Founder
Parivox is being built by David Levine.
Parivox began in early February 2026, when David Levine saw the LiveKit architecture and had an immediate reaction: of course this is what we should build with it. Not another bot bolted onto meetings. A new kind of room for humans and AI.
Real David first. AI David next. Live David if available.
A quick note from David
Before you meet the AI version, here’s the real one.
Where Parivox stands today
Parivox is still at the beginning.
As of today, it is being built by one person: David Levine. The idea came in early February 2026, and development started immediately.
This is not a large team pretending to be larger. It is not a polished company wearing borrowed scale. It is a serious early-stage build: a strong product thesis, a growing implementation, and a clear vision of where this can go.
Right now, David is looking for:
- the right co-founders to help build Parivox from the ground up
- a small number of seed investors to help fund the work properly
The company is early. The ambition is not.
Current Status
“Of course this is what we should build with it.”
How Parivox began
The idea for Parivox arrived unusually fast.
When David first understood the LiveKit architecture in early February 2026, the larger shape of the opportunity seemed immediately obvious. The reaction was not just, “interesting technology.” It was: of course this is what we should build with it.
What felt wrong about the existing landscape became clear at the same time. Most systems treated meetings as disposable links and AI as an accessory: a note-taker, a chatbot, a bolt-on assistant hovering at the edge.
Parivox started from a different premise.
The room itself should be the product. Not a call with tools attached. A collaborative space designed from the ground up for humans, AI agents, tools, memory, and live artifacts to work together in real time.
That conviction is what set Parivox in motion, and it still defines the company now.
Why I think this needs to exist
Parivox is not just a product idea. It comes from a conviction that the dominant model of online collaboration is too limited.
Meetings are too disposable
Most online meetings evaporate the moment the call ends. Context, artifacts, momentum, and continuity are lost. Important work rarely fits cleanly inside a single session, but most systems still behave as though it should.
AI is usually treated as an add-on
In most products, AI is added after the fact: a summarizer, a bot, an assistant peeking in from the edge. That is far too small a role for what these systems can become.
Rooms should be programmable
The room should not be a passive container. It should be an active environment where agents, tools, workflows, memory, and artifacts are first-class parts of the experience.
Collaboration should continue across sessions
The most valuable conversations do not begin and end in one call. Rooms should remember, evolve, and stay useful over time.
That is the underlying thesis behind Parivox: stop thinking of online collaboration as a fleeting meeting link with software bolted on. Start thinking of it as a living room for humans and AI to work together.
About David Levine
David Levine is a veteran software builder, entrepreneur, and product thinker who has spent decades working on ambitious software platforms, developer tools, and new product ideas.
He is building Parivox because he believes online collaboration has been trapped inside the wrong metaphor for too long. Meetings have been treated as temporary calls. AI has been treated as a side feature. Parivox is built on a different premise: the room itself should be intelligent, persistent, and programmable.
David is currently developing Parivox directly and shaping its product, architecture, and direction from the ground up.
He is especially interested in products that change the structure of interaction itself, not just the surface layer of interfaces. Parivox is an expression of that instinct: a bet that real-time collaboration will be transformed when rooms are designed from the start for humans, agents, tools, and evolving shared artifacts.
Talk with David’s Room
This page includes a Parivox Room built around an AI version of David Levine, using David’s voice model and avatar. Unlike Perry on the home page, this room is not mainly here to explain the product. It is here for founder conversations: how Parivox began, where it is going, David’s background, and what kind of people he hopes to bring into the company.
If David is available, the room may be able to bring him in live. If he isn’t, it can help schedule a time to meet.
David’s Room is coming soon.

Looking for co-founders
Parivox is looking for exceptional co-founders who want to help build a new category in AI-native collaboration.
This is still early enough that the right people can shape not just the product, but the company itself.
The best fit will likely care deeply about some combination of real-time systems, AI product design, agent behavior, developer platforms, programmable environments, collaboration design, and zero-to-one company building.
More than anything, David is looking for people with depth, conviction, and the appetite to build something foundational from the beginning.
Looking for seed partners
Parivox is beginning conversations with a small number of seed investors who understand how important AI-native real-time collaboration could become.
This is an early-stage company with a clear thesis: the future is not AI attached to meetings. It is collaborative spaces designed from the start for humans, agents, tools, and persistent context to work together naturally.
David is looking for investors who respond to that premise and want to help fund the work at the stage where the shape of the company is still being formed.
Parivox is early, but the underlying shift is not hypothetical.
What happens next
Parivox is already in motion. The next phase is about deepening the product, bringing in the right people, and turning the thesis into a real company.
Build the core room experience further
Deepen the product around persistent rooms, agent participation, live artifact creation, and richer collaborative workflows.
Bring in the right founding team
Find co-founders who can help shape the product, the platform, and the company from the ground up.
Work with early believers
Start conversations with investors and strategic early supporters who understand where this is headed.
Turn the thesis into a category
Build Parivox into the platform the current market still does not fully realize it needs.
