About Banza

Banza is an AI startup focused on creating a personal AI “Twin” that deeply understands individual users.

Their AI Twin aims to address this by learning user behavior to assist in daily decisions such as what to eat, watch, go, or buy, and proactively offer suggestions based on user patterns.
