ELM - Social & Messaging
Messaging and social life in one privacy-first app: private conversations, communities, profiles, spaces, creators, discovery, voice and business communication.
Parent company
The parent company behind the ELM ecosystem.
ELM HQ is the European home of ELM, Viewsly, Eliza, and the infrastructure behind them — built around privacy, identity, communication, intelligence, and long-term technical control.
Ecosystem
An ecosystem, not a single platform.
ELM HQ develops a connected digital ecosystem made up of social systems, private communication, intelligent trust architecture, and supporting infrastructure. Each part serves a distinct purpose. Together, they form the wider ELM ecosystem.
ELM is more than social. It is a secure communication platform designed for trusted interaction between people, systems, AI, and the wider digital infrastructure around them.
Viewsly
A lighter and more fluid environment for visibility, discovery, content, and interaction inside the wider ecosystem.
Eliza AI
Talk, write, explore a picture or create something with Eliza. A connection grows through time and conversation—not a switch. The app and everyday chat are free within usage limits, with optional credits and Premium extras.
European by design
Based in Europe. Hosted in Europe.
ELM HQ is a European-based company operating from Northern Ireland. Its production platform is hosted on European infrastructure, keeping the company, its systems and their day-to-day operation close to the people and legal environment they are built to serve.
Robotics partnerships
Build Eliza into the physical world with us.
ELM HQ is especially interested in humanoid robotics. Companies and research teams can propose hardware for evaluation, send a development unit by prior agreement, or ask us to build and test Eliza software for their robot, subsystem, sensors or SDK.

ELM chat API
Let visitors start an ELM chat from any website.
ELM HQ is defining a public chat entry point for businesses that want a simple “chat with us” button on their website. The website only loads the ELM widget or sends visitors to a hosted ELM HQ page. Account creation, identity, routing, message delivery, and support handoff stay on ELM HQ infrastructure.
The default ELM HQ support destination is business PIN 02B452C7, so visitors can open a direct ELM chat with support or create an ELM ID first if they do not already have one.
Infrastructure
Behind the interface, real infrastructure.
The ELM ecosystem is supported by backend systems built for privacy, resilience, AI learning, trust architecture, and long-term control. From messaging and identity layers to compute, server systems, and learning environments, ELM HQ is built on foundations designed to grow beyond a single product cycle.
About ELM HQ
From research to ecosystem.
ELM HQ began as AEGlobalResearch, originally standing for Alexander Edison Global Research, registered on 15 July 2015.
Long before that, the roots started in early software experiments, including an operating system project called HDFS, created in QBasic in the early 1990s. Over time, that path developed into research, backend systems, AI learning, trust architecture, messaging infrastructure, and the wider ELM ecosystem.
Today, ELM HQ acts as the parent company behind the ELM ecosystem — connecting platform direction, infrastructure, communication, trust systems, AI development, and long-term product thinking.
Security and privacy
Privacy is part of the architecture.
ELM is built around modern encryption, stronger media protection, encrypted server-side storage, and two-step sign-in protection that is enabled by default and uses compatible devices with recent account activity. The wider trust architecture supports private communication across people, systems, AI, and connected infrastructure.
What we represent
Privacy as structure
We treat privacy as part of the architecture, not a marketing layer added later.
Technology with standards
We prefer restraint, control, and product integrity over noise, haste, and trend-chasing.
Identity with ownership
A digital presence should feel owned, controlled, and durable — not rented from a platform.
Systems built to last
We build for long-term value, real foundations, and products that can outgrow short-term cycles.
Built quietly. Built seriously. Built for what comes next.
