FOREVER22FOREVER 22
We build AI products that turn expertise into always-on intelligence — and host events that bring builders together to ship.
From human expertise to always-on intelligence.
Forever 22 is a community and an applied AI lab empowering the builders shaping AI-native software.
In 2025, Kaya Jones launched Forever 22 — now building out of New York — on a simple belief: AI is a forever thing. By building AI that remembers and bringing the best builders together to ship, we turn human expertise into intelligence that never forgets, one product at a time.
What we do
the three thingsAI that never forgets.
We turn personal and institutional expertise into always-on intelligence — AI twins and systems that remember, learn, and answer on your behalf.

Hackathons, fireside chats, and dinners that pull the best builders into one room for a day — and send them out with something real.
→ See our eventsBuilt in the open.
A studio and a network. We work with founders and teams shipping AI-native products, and we keep the door open to the people building the future.
→ Work with usBestmate
Clone your knowledge and expertise into a personal AI twin. Bestmate lives in your Slack, Telegram, and more — answering questions on your behalf. When it doesn't know the answer, it pings you.
> HOW IT WORKS
01. Clone your knowledge — feed it docs, notes, expertise.
02. Deploy to Slack, Telegram, or wherever your team lives.
03. It answers for you — and pings you when it's unsure.
