New York, April 25, 2025 — InnovatorX celebrated the soft launch of its flagship product, RelaXi AI, with over 100 curated guests—including cultural founders, wellness influencers, investors, and artists—in Midtown Manhattan. The evening introduced RelaXi, a human-centered emotional wellness platform designed to redefine how modern people engage with self-care.
Founded by Sike Li, Chief Product Officer of InnovatorX, the event translated RelaXi's emotional blueprint into an immersive experience using its unique Six Sense Wellness framework: touch, sight, sound, scent, taste, and connection. Sike and his team curated interactive self-care discoveries, allowing guests to intimately experience the emotional logic and personal narrative behind RelaXi through a founder-designed installation.
The RelaXi Shelf: How RelaXi Began
"Growing up in an Asian culture where emotions were often unspoken, I learned to measure success through motivation, metrics, and milestones," Sike shared in his opening remarks. "I was afraid of slowing down, afraid of being alone, afraid of being unseen. I didn't know how to practice self-care—I only knew how to stay motivated."
After years spent in the corporate tech world experiencing burnout, personal loss, and questioning the true meaning of success, Sike started documenting his emotional states and the quiet moments that helped him reconnect with himself.

The Shelf—a central installation at the event—presented these documented moments through tactile, sensory-rich, and visually engaging experiences. Each shelf was thoughtfully curated around specific emotional states:
When I feel anxious about time
When I feel lonely and disconnected
When I feel unseen or less attractive
When I feel drained and uninspired
When I'm okay, but something still feels missing
Guests explored these curated shelves, each holding tangible items and reflective cues to engage with different emotional states. Far from decorative, The Shelf embodied a physical prototype of RelaXi’s underlying emotional intelligence system.
"Wellness isn't always about motivation," Sike reflected. "Sometimes, it's about reflection, softness, or simply remembering how to feel."
Beneath this immersive experience lies the gentle intelligence of RelaXi AI—not designed to optimize productivity but to help individuals recognize emotional patterns, reflect intentionally, and discover personalized paths toward meaningful relaxation and reconnection. It is emotional technology reimagined with softness, mindfulness, and cultural depth.
The event was held in partnership with Gorgeous Beauty, an art-meets-beauty space chosen for its ability to visually and spatially embody the emotional layers at the heart of RelaXi’s philosophy.

"This is just the beginning," said Sike. "Our generation—millennials and Gen Z—faces unprecedented loneliness. We are constantly chased by time, seeking validation from our careers, our relationships, even from ourselves. We're afraid of slowing down. RelaXi is here to begin a new era of self-care and self-love, offering a way to reconnect without fear."
