Exclusive: Koo co-founder rolls out photo sharing app PicSee Koo co-founder Mayank Bidawatka has begun the beta rollout of PicSee, an artificial intelligence-powered photo sharing app, under his new venture Billion Hearts Software Technologies. PicSee enables users to automatically discover and exchange photos with friends using face recognition and AI-based matching. According to information available on Play Store, the app lets users get photos from friends only when they share their own in return. It also offers features such as device-only storage, end-to-end encryption, screenshot blocking, a 24-hour review window, and a recall option. PicSee is currently available for both Android and iOS users in beta, but has not been officially launched. Billion Hearts was incorporated in September 2024 after Koo shut down due to investor constraints and unsuccessful acquisition talks. In the same month, the company raised around $250,000 in a pre-seed round from founders of redBus, Ola, InMobi, Myntra, and others. Two months later, Billion Hearts secured $4 million in a seed round led by Blume Ventures with participation from General Catalyst and Athera Venture Partners. The company said the funds were allocated for building global technology products and team expansion. PicSee is the companyโ€™s first product, and it plans to add AI-based photo and video editing tools, storage optimisation features, and private social sharing in subsequent updates.
