Strategic Round II Complete: CHAI AI secured additional funding rounds, bringing its total investment to date to over $55M dollars to expand both compute and talent acquisition. We have built a consumer platform where users can build their own AI characters and stories. Our B2C business has grown exponentially, reaching $70M/yr in revenue in 2026. We were the first to launch a consumer AI platform, allowing users to create their own ChatAIs—ahead of Character AI and ChatGPT. Open-sourced LLMs no longer satisfied our users' requirements, as the LLMs needed to be adapted for social and engagement purposes. We saw a +10% engagement boost from our own in-house model.
