I built an AI & 3D ecosystem that actually cures app fragmentation across social, AI generation, translation, and the metaverse.
Hey everyone,
For the past two years, I’ve been quietly building in my attic something called NEX
The long-term vision is a high-fidelity ecosystem — shaped by movies that blew my mind over the years, from The Lawnmower Man to Ready Player One. But I know that trying to build the “metaverse” first would be a mistake. So I started with the underlying framework instead: a cross-platform ecosystem where different digital experiences actually work together, from any device, rather than living in isolated apps.
Right now, it consists of two connected clients:
NEX.O (Mobile/Web): Features a live context-aware AI assistant (Alice), multilingual translation, AI music generation, prediction tools, and a dynamic social system with lots of “hidden” gems. Both Android apps are already live in the Play Store, and iOS is coming soon (which is a two-month nightmare already ☹).
NEX.space (Mobile/Desktop/VR): An Unreal Engine multiplayer 3D environment packed with work-in-progress ideas.
I'm not saying the finished vision already exists. It doesn't. I still have bugs to fix everywhere. The 3D world is still early, and the framework underneath is what I've been trying to get stable first.
My background is a weird mix of software development, 3D architecture/design, and film writing and directing.
Recently, a VC offered to fund the project, but their main condition was pivoting to a Web3/crypto token model. I said no. I lost money on crypto before, I hate the speculative side of it, and I want to build a real platform with actual utility.
Now I’m getting ready to make NEX public, and I need some objective eyes.
I want to combat "subscription fatigue" by offering one small sub for the whole ecosystem, rather than people paying for AI, music, and other stuff separately. Then yeah...metaverse. Does this make sense?
The hub is here:
https://nex.online (Pre-launch access code: 81926) - hope you like the music video :)
Anyone can create a new account, or you can just use the demo resident account: demo@nex.online (Password: Nex_Demo2026).
The cross-platform part is interesting, especially if the goal is for the different experiences to actually reinforce each other instead of becoming a bundle of unrelated features. I’d be curious what the single core use case is that makes someone want to enter the NEX ecosystem in the first place.
First, thanks for taking a look. Second, it really started from simple user frustration: app fragmentation, data harvesting, and subscription fatigue.
Right now, most of us juggle 7–8 different apps—WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. Not only are our data and feeds monetized anyway, but we end up paying $30–$40+ a month across subscriptions just for occasional, scattered use.
The core hook to enter NEX is having an all-in-one daily utility hub where you aren't paying multiple bloated subscriptions or constantly trading away your privacy—you use what you need at a fraction of the cost. From there, the bridge into 3D, gaming, and VR isn't just an add-on; it's the natural next layer of the same identity and data.
Every platform starts somewhere—people often forget how barebones the very first versions of Facebook or TikTok were. The foundation is unifying the daily toolset first.
That gives the ecosystem a clearer starting point. I’d be curious what users end up coming to NEX for most naturally.
finger crossed :)))
