The bot-filled landscape.
The high cost of low-effort tech.
As AI becomes indistinguishable from human profiles, the cost of sincerity has gone up. Mass-market apps are struggling to keep up with bot farms. At Turtle, we believe the only solution is local, manual, and human.
If you can't verify the person, you can't value the connection. We are building a sanctuary where your attention is never wasted on a script.
