Chui Makes Staying in the new Going Out

Blog· Entertainment

A smart doorbell named Chui is about to make staying in the new going out.  Cofounded by two graduates of the Cox School of Business – Shaun Moore, former SMU football player, and Nezare Chafni, one of the youngest candidates for Moroccan Parliament in history – Chui launched in mid-March and surpassed its $30,000 preorder sales goal by 48%.  You can reserve your Chui at GetChui.com.

Chui Cofounders

Chui uses revolutionary facial technology to let you know who is at your door, as well as let those you don’t want around know they should leave.  That’s just the start of what the world’s smartest (and best looking) doorbell is capable of.  With Chui’s connected home features, your home becomes the most sought after venue in town – a living experience tailored to you.  Simply walking through your door illuminates lights to your mood, adjusts the temperature to that perfect setting, turns on your favorite channel, and plays whatever music you desire, at just the right volume.  And it will all happen faster than you can take a selfie.

Let Chui take a selfie

Speaking of selfies, Chui delivers real time notifications of a visitor’s image, name and timestamp to your smart phone or computer.  From there, you can communicate with them via audio and video.  If you’re like everyone I know and running behind on getting ready for a big night, Chui gives you the option of unlocking your door for expected pre-game patrons, so they can make themselves comfortable, while you finish up for The Dallas Socials endorsed weekend escapade.   “We believe that technology advancement should be focused on empowering the consumer,” says Chafni “which is why we designed Chui to put its owner in control.”

Chui enabled controls

Part of that control is sharing the tailored-to-you-comforts of a Chui enabled home with your friends.  For this reason, the world’s smartest doorbell offers yet another function – a personal bouncer for every gathering.  “There’s nothing worse than grilling for your friends by the pool, and having to leave to answer the door,” says Moore.  “Chui lets you leave automated message for welcomed guests and alerts you to uninvited ‘bring-down the good-times-Brians’ trying sneaking into your party.”  Topping everyone’s unwanted guest list is the ex.  Don’t worry, Chui will be sure to keep him/her them out – something no Uptown hot spot can do.  The smart doorbell can even end a bad relationship for you.  Think of it as the 21st century break-up text.

Breakup with a simple Doorbell - Chui

You can check out all of Chui’s functions in the video below and find out about its potential future uses (personal shopper and trainer) at GetChui.com.  Before you share this article on all of your social media platforms (follow Chui on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google Plus), please take a minute to read the story of Chui below.   And remember to preorder you Chui – they are going faster than it takes an above average phone-photographer to take a selfie.


The Story of Chui

Less than two years after graduating from SMU, Shaun Moore and Nezare Chafni came up with the idea for Chui while drinking Moroccan green tea in a hotel room in Casablanca.  Nezare had recently come off the campaign trail, and Shaun, the former SMU football player, decided to leave his corporate job, trading in the comfort of cubicles for a one-way ticket to embark on his entrepreneurial dream.  Shaun recalls the experience: “we knew this was our moment, but good ideas are just that – a moment.  We then had to focus on the getting there.”

Shaun Moore - SMU Alumni - Chui

The “getting there” is difficult for any startup, but it becomes an intensely more challenging journey when two business partners are navigating previously unchartered waters of the tech world and have no experience in technology.  The cofounders immediately understood they had to adapt to a new environment and be flexible with their decision making to make Chui the world changing product they believed it could be.  This realization, and the sweet and sour recipe of anxiety and adventure that made the dish the pair would soon consume is where the name Chui came from.

Chui is the Swahili word for leopard, the smallest of the big 4 cats yet the most adaptable. Adaptability would be essential for two friends working in an unfamiliar industry.  Empowered by the entrepreneurial spirit that led them to take a risk and find a for “the getting there” the two finance majors taught themselves many previously unknown skills, among them coding and at times working 17000 miles of sleep patterns and culture apart. The adaptability that guides Chui has brought its uses to endless heights.

An American from Chicago and a Dubai native drinking Moroccan green tea in a hotel room in Casablanca come up with an idea create a doorbell with facial recognition technology. Two years later, Chui’s potential is limitless.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
