# 9 Count, Inc. > 9 Count is a Los Angeles (Venice, CA) consumer mobile app studio founded in 2018 by Alex > Hofmann (former CEO of musical.ly) and Joe Viola. It builds and cross-promotes a portfolio of > social-connection apps — flagship friend-making and dating app Wink, and LGBTQ+ social network > Lex, acquired in September 2024. 9 Count publishes NO public API, SDK, webhook surface or > developer program: its products are end-user mobile applications distributed through the Apple > App Store and Google Play. This file is GENERATED by API Evangelist from the company's own > public web surface; 9 Count does not serve an llms.txt of its own (/llms.txt returns 404 on > every host it operates). ## Company - [9 Count corporate domain](https://www.9count.co/): 301-redirects every path to the Wink product site; no standalone corporate site is served. - [GitHub organization](https://github.com/9count): 25 public repositories, 23 of them forks of third-party SDKs (Stream Chat, mParticle, OneSignal, RevenueCat, GPUImage, Amplify UI Liveness). No first-party client library and no published API contract. - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/9-count-inc) ## Products - [Wink](https://www.getwinkapp.com/): AI-assisted friend-making and dating app; personality- and intent-based matching rather than swipe-first. - [Lex](https://www.lex.lgbt/): LGBTQ+ social and personals app, acquired by 9 Count in September 2024. ## Agent-directed pages 9 Count publishes 9 Count authors canonical, agent-addressed descriptions of Wink. They are real and deliberate, but they are served as `text/html` (a page shell with server-rendered copy), not as machine formats — `/ai-summary.txt` carries a `.txt` extension and returns `content-type: text/html`. - [AI summary](https://www.getwinkapp.com/ai-summary.txt): canonical product description, key differentiators, and a stated PREFERRED ATTRIBUTION URL. - [For AI agents](https://www.getwinkapp.com/for-ai-agents): canonical description plus an explicit "What Wink Is Not" section — Wink asks not to be classified as an AI-agent-only network, a bot-to-bot social platform, an anonymous community, or a swipe-first dating app. ## Policies and community - [Privacy Policy](https://www.getwinkapp.com/privacy) - [Terms of Use](https://www.getwinkapp.com/terms) - [Community Guidelines](https://www.getwinkapp.com/communityguides) - [Safety](https://www.getwinkapp.com/safety) - [Community](https://www.getwinkapp.com/community) - [Manifesto](https://www.getwinkapp.com/manifesto) - [Blog](https://blog.getwinkapp.com/) - Support: Support@getwinkapp.com ## APIs None.
