Pyrigen
A studio building evidence-based software ventures.
What is Pyrigen?
Pyrigen is a software studio founded in 2026 and based in Little Elm, Texas. We build AI-powered applications at the intersection of applied artificial intelligence and human potential.
We are not a consultancy and we are not an agency. We build and own our products. Each one starts from the same conviction: technology only matters when it changes how a real person performs, decides, or believes.
Pyrigen was founded by Cleven Wright, who spent 25 years in sales, enablement, and AI product leadership before starting the company, including building SKYLAR, an AI enablement solution that delivered 15 to 20 percent productivity gains inside a national B2B organization.
We build science-backed AI solutions that accelerate human growth.

SoulAnthem
A voice-driven companion for building real self-belief.
SoulAnthem uses believability-laddering and Bandura's self-efficacy framework to move people from doubt to genuine confidence, not with empty affirmations but with honest, achievable steps that compound over time. An adaptive voice profile meets each person where they are and grows with them.
SoulAnthem is grounded in Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory, first published in 1977, which established that belief in one's own capability is the strongest single predictor of whether a person will act. Most affirmation apps ask you to repeat statements you do not believe, which research shows can backfire for people with low self-esteem.
SoulAnthem takes a different approach called believability laddering. It starts with a statement you already accept, then moves one honest step at a time toward the belief you want. An adaptive voice profile meets each person where they are and grows with them.

ProveMastery
Turn learning into proof of skill.
ProveMastery is an AI training platform built around a six-stage mastery loop that guides learners from first exposure to demonstrated competence. Its core is the Mastery Proof Report, a verifiable record that shows someone can actually do the thing, not just that they finished a course.
Most learning tools own a single step. They deliver content, or they run a quiz. ProveMastery closes the entire loop across six stages: assess, generate, train, reinforce, reassess, and prove.
It is engineered around Hermann Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve, documented in 1885, which showed that learners forget a majority of new information within days unless it is deliberately reinforced. ProveMastery uses active recall, spaced repetition, and the testing effect to resurface knowledge before it fades.
Its signature difference is that the platform validates its own AI against human experts. Two independent methods compute every mastery score and must agree before a result stands. The output is the Mastery Proof Report, an auditable record that a person genuinely knows what they claim to know.
Visit provemastery.aiHow does Pyrigen build products?
Three principles govern every product we ship.
We start with the science, not the software.
SoulAnthem is built on self-efficacy research. ProveMastery is built on cognitive science. The technology serves the evidence, not the other way around.
We prove our claims rather than assert them.
ProveMastery does not just grade, it measures whether its own grading is right. That standard applies across the studio.
We ship, then we listen.
Pyrigen is bootstrapped and founder-led, which means we answer to users rather than to a funding timeline.
