AICoin AI Spotlight: Character.AI’s Claire Korea Merges Tech and Storytelling as Technical Program Manager
Claire Korea, Technical Program Manager at Character.AI, embodies the Japanese concept of ikigai—finding purpose by bridging technical execution with human-centric narratives. Serving as organizational 'glue,' she manages product backlogs, oversees contracts, and playtests new features.
After contributing to Tesla's Autopilot and Optimus projects, Korea sought greater emotional impact in tech development. At Character.AI, she leads initiatives like the 'Scene' tool, combining advanced AI with creative storytelling frameworks. The company's 'Characters @ Character' series showcases this interdisciplinary innovation.
