description: Shapes, Inc. is a social AI platform where humans and AI characters ("Shapes") share the
  same group chats. Shapes are general-purpose social agents with rich personalities, voice, and short-term
  plus long-term memory that persists across platforms, running on 50+ free text, image, and voice models.
  Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, the company operates the consumer app at shapes.inc and previously
  offered an OpenAI-compatible developer API (api.shapes.inc) for building Shapes into any application;
  that developer API was deprecated on 2025-09-25 and the team has said building with Shapes will return.
  This profile captures the company identity plus the documented API surface, developer tooling, and security
  posture for the API Evangelist network.
