Hooglee after Google: Eric Schmidt launches a new startup to compete with TikTok in the field of AI video
09.01.2025
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has secretly launched a new artificial intelligence startup called Hooglee, which intends to change the market of AI video generation and social media, Forbes reports. The project, which Schmidt has been working on for the past year, aims to “democratize video creation with AI” and, according to sources familiar with the initiative, has already been unofficially named a potential competitor to TikTok.
Schmidt’s family office, Hillspire, finances the startup and provides it with office space. Hooglee ‘s official website is limited to a single landing page and does not mention Schmidt or his team. At the same time, the site states that Hooglee’s mission is to “create innovative solutions that bring people together, simplify communication, and increase engagement.”
Hooglee is headed by Schmidt’s longtime partner Sebastian Thrun, who previously co-founded Google’s X division and autonomous car company Waymo. Thrun also ran Schmidt’s secretive military startup Project Eagle.
Former Meta researchers and AI experts joined the Hooglee team, including Bichen Wu, who previously founded a startup that developed text-based video generators. According to business documents, Wu and his team joined forces with Hooglee in October last year.
According to sources, Hooglee’s product will be a hybrid of AI video creation software and a social network. Although specific details remain unknown, some of Schmidt’s employees call the startup an alternative to TikTok. However, it remains unclear how exactly Hooglee plans to compete with one of the most popular social platforms in the world.
Hooglee was the first AI project that Schmidt personally incubated after investing in a number of AI companies such as Anthropic and SandboxAQ. Schmidt, who is estimated to be worth over $26 billion, has also funded the OpenAI grant program and the nonprofit FutureHouse, which is dedicated to AI research.
Although Hooglee’s product is still a mystery, the company has filed trademark applications stating that the startup will create AI video generation software and a social media platform.
