Most theories I've seen suggest that it was created by Simone's mom. Whenever Simone mentions her mom, Mrs. Davis responds with "Redirecting..." suggesting that the algorithm has a special relationship with her.

Interesting. I hadn't read any fan theories about it and hadn't spotted that it was after a mention of Simone's mum. There's a few days until episode 8 is out, so I'll have to wait to see what mysteries are revealed.

It doesn't sit right with me that Simone's mum would be Mrs Davis' creator as she hasn't shown any computing credentials, but is more into practical engineering and tricks.
