Meet Shapes, the app bringing humans and AI into the same group chats
Think Discord chats, but with AI characters in addition to humans.
TL;DR
- Shapes allows humans and AI characters to interact in shared group conversations, similar to Discord.
- The app aims to address "AI Psychosis" by integrating AI into everyday social interactions rather than one-on-one chats.
- Users can create their own AI "Shapes" with distinct personalities, and over three million have already been created.
- Shapes are clearly labeled but can initiate and respond to messages freely, helping to keep group chats active.
- The app targets "obsessively online" users who enjoy connecting and sharing within online communities.
- Shapes has experienced significant user growth, driven by word of mouth, with many users spending several hours daily on the app.
- The startup has raised $8 million in seed funding, led by Lightspeed, to support development and user acquisition.
