Bio

I’m Gavin Purcell, CEO of And Then and former showrunner of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. I’ve spent my career creating formats that reach millions, and now I believe the future of entertainment won’t be passive... it will be interactive and voice-first. AndThen is built to let real human creators design experiences where AI characters have goals and stories, and players have something to do. We’re merging human creativity with AI to power the next wave of interactive entertainment, beginning in audio and extending to AR/VR and beyond.
