We believe in freeing individuals and businesses from mundane, repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on innovative and creative work that truly matters. Our personalised AI assistants collaborate with users to enhance productivity and creativity. With a recent $12 million pre-seed funding from Balderton Capital, Salesforce Ventures, and Shopify Ventures, we're poised to make a significant impact in the AI space.
