David Petrou — Founder

I’m the founder and CEO of Continua, where we’re building AI that participates in conversations the way a great teammate or friend would -- by listening deeply, offering help at the right moment, and staying quiet when that’s what the group needs. We call it Social AI: intelligence that strengthens human connection instead of competing with it. Before Continua, I spent nearly two decades at Google, leaving as a Distinguished Software Engineer (L9). I was part of the founding teams behind Google Goggles and Glass, and later led efforts to bring machine learning onto devices like Pixel and Android -- with a focus on privacy-preserving, context-aware systems. The throughline of my work: building tech that understands what matters, not just what was said. I’m especially interested in group dynamics, edge intelligence, and AI that helps people collaborate, coordinate, and connect more meaningfully. Curious about Social AI? Try Continua in your group chat: just add 646-391-4086 and start texting. Or reach out! I love talking with others in this space.
