Shapes raises $8 million seed funding for group chat app where AI characters and people coexist
Shapes, a group chat app where people and AI characters converse together, has exited stealth mode and disclosed an $8 million seed funding round, TechCrunch reported on April 29. Lightspeed led the round, with participation from AI Capital Partners, AI Grant and individual investors. Founded in 2022, the company has more than 400,000 monthly active users. It positions the product as a way to reduce so-called AI psychosis by bringing AI into everyday group conversations.
