Technology is developing at a rapid pace, and digital platforms are fighting to stand out amongst the crowd. The AI-powered entertainment platform Oncemore.io made waves by reaching one million registered users in record-breaking time. The AI-powered entertainment platform did in 42 hours what another popular AI chatbot took five days to accomplish. The brains behind the launch is company founder, Akash Mamidi, a Stanford alumnus who studied computer science with a concentration in AI. He achieved this moment by connecting fans with exclusive content and digital experiences.
The hunger for interactive fandom
Streaming platforms and social media networks have given fans endless access to content. While viewers scroll through feeds and watch clips, the experiences often feel shallow. For years, fans have craved a genuine connection. Mamidi believes that designers built most platforms for distribution, not interaction. As a result, audiences may not get the opportunity to enjoy meaningful interaction with the stories, teams, and artists they love.
Entertainment companies have also struggled to keep up. Each new platform comes with limitations. For example, a film studio can't release a personalized digital comic or host AI-driven fan interactions on traditional streaming services or social platforms. These systems were built for static content, not the immersive, interactive experiences that fans now expect.
The fastest rise in tech
In under two days, Oncemore.io successfully reached one million registered users from over 60 countries. This event made it the fastest-growing tech platform, second only to Threads. Every other company in the top 10 list of the fastest platforms to reach one million users today holds a valuation of over $100 billion.
Oncemore.io debuted on the scene to give fans a rare sense of belonging with their favorite IP, now being recognized as a place where every interaction feels personal, alive and meaningful. The idea behind the company is that entertainment should be something you live. “Our goal is to build the happiest place on everyone’s device, a platform that delivers delight to billions of people,” Mamidi says.
Collaboration ignites global fan engagement
What do you get when you combine a successful film, an Indian superstar, with a scrappy AI-driven startup? You set a new global record for user adoption speed. The collaboration with the hit movie “They Call Him OG,” starring Pawan Kalyan, allowed the team to build “collective content unlock.” Millions of fans played movie-themed games to reveal a digital comic book exploring the hero’s backstory.
Strategic partnership is the driving force behind Oncemore.io’s historic launch. The company partners with movies, sports teams, and music artists to create dedicated sections where fans can explore exclusive content and experiences. The startup has already struck a deal to collaborate on another major project set for release in 2026.
A movie might offer behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, or storyline-inspired interactive games. A music artist might share unreleased sessions, host live fan interactions, or release digital collectibles. A sports team might offer AI-driven meetups or themed challenges. Mamidi likens these varied options to a “Digital Disneyland.”
The future of AI and personalized entertainment
Oncemore.io uses AI to create personalized and adaptive experiences that traditional platforms can't match. Its mission is to give fans interaction that feels alive and personal. Akash Mamidi and his team have partnered with highly anticipated films in India for 2025 and 2026.
Virtual entertainment hubs often measure success in views and clicks. Meanwhile, Oncemore.io is redefining what connection really means. Its record-breaking start is just the beginning of a movement that could transform global entertainment.
