Tribe XR (SMV Fund I portfolio company) has been busy expanding its services to accommodate new channels (PC, MacOS, Web) for what is now the world's largest online DJ school community, surpassing 100K students. While to date Tribe XR focused on spatial (VR & MR) simulations of leading DJ decks, Tribe XR is now also available via web browser and desktop apps. This expands the TAM substantially and ushers in a new era of music creativity, helping a global creator community learn, play, and perform in real life (“IRL”). Tribe has rebuilt its consumer-facing website (tribexr.com) in preparation for the launch of its web and 2D products. Click here for a summary that demonstrates the web player, 2D mode and VR mode.
In addition, Tribe XR has been working on an AI mentor. The prototype Tribe bot, which uses speech-to-text, has been trained on Tribe's lessons, instructional content, and training manuals. While many of Tribe XR’s courses have been recorded by renowned DJs, the AI mentor presents an opportunity to simplify onboarding, develop new educational content, and streamline live support costs. This is now achieved at scale with the use of AI. You can view an example of Tribe's AI mentor here.
