AI Companion Platform Secures $3.9 Million in Funding, Aiming for Innovative Immersive Experiences

A US company focused on a revenue-generating AI companion platform recently announced the completion of a $3.9 million financing round. This round of funding was participated in by several investment institutions, including some well-known investors in the cryptocurrency sector.

The funds raised will be used to expand the team size, particularly by bringing in talent in AI and protocol development, while also expanding new partnerships.

The company was founded by two co-founders in August 2023. Prior to this, one of the founders was involved in creating a well-known AI and cryptocurrency fund, while the other made significant contributions to realistic synthetic facial generation technology in large tech companies and blockchain projects. The company's goal is to develop a new protocol to enable the financialization of on-chain AI assets.

The company initially launched a simple image engine that provides multiple image models, allowing creators to realize their ideas in various styles. This not only enables users to utilize the latest technology but also greatly simplifies the image creation process. The product embodies the team's commitment to open source, decentralization, and user participation.

With positive user feedback, the team quickly expanded the platform's features from a single image service to customizable role-playing and fantasy products. In the first quarter of 2024, the company launched its flagship AI companion product.

Currently, the platform allows users to create immersive AI companion experiences. Unlike traditional text interfaces, the company is committed to creating more realistic AI interaction experiences through video, voice, and even future tactile and AR/VR technologies.

Using generative AI and Web3 technology, the platform supports users in creating multimodal AI companions, which can be in realistic or animated styles. The system is capable of understanding user intent and quickly generating corresponding images or text responses. Currently, the platform has supported generative AI video creation, and more advanced video and voice features are soon to be launched. In the future, users will be able to deploy their created AI companions on the blockchain, owning complete IP rights and being able to profit freely.

Community members highly praised the entertainment and emotional support features of the platform. A seasoned creator stated: "The charm of the platform lies in its limitless creative possibilities, easily bringing to life everything from ancient scenes to modern dating. The role-playing feature allows users to establish a deep connection with their AI partners."

Less than 9 months after launching the core companion product, the platform has attracted over 500,000 users and continues to grow rapidly. By providing users with an embedded wallet, the platform has successfully introduced users to the blockchain world, demonstrating its strong influence. Several blockchain projects have also provided funding support to the platform to optimize users' on-chain interaction experience.

Currently, the platform has launched a reward program to encourage users to participate in tasks such as image and video creation, and fantasy storytelling, helping users familiarize themselves with product features. Users can obtain the latest project information and participate in activities through social media or community platforms.
