Kaito AI raises $5.3 million to build ChatGPT-powered search engine for crypto
Dragonfly, Sequoia and Jane Street are among the investors backing Kaito AI’s MetaSearch, a ChatGPT and AI-powered crypto search engine.
As investors flock away from crypto and into AI, one investment firm is taking a different approach.
Dragonfly Capital is leading Kaito AI’s $5.3 million raise to build an AI-powered search engine for the crypto industry. The product has been in private beta with institutional investors since December and the investment firm is saying it is “revolutionizing” the way they invest.
“With so much information and data available, it can be overwhelming to identify the most valuable insights for informed investment decisions,” said Gengmo Qi, partner at Dragonfly, in a release. “Kaito is solving this challenge by not only aggregating information, but making it readily accessible and actionable.”
Kaito’s cap table for this round features several industry heavyweights including Sequoia Capital, Jane Street, AlphaLab Capital and Mirana Ventures, said the company in the release.
ChatGPT and the AI boom
So what’s drawing investors in? Could it perhaps be the mention of buzzy new AI technology ChatGPT, which Kaito AI is using to bolster its search engine experience?
Since the launch of ChatGPT in late November, an AI chatbot developed by Sam Altman’s OpenAI, a frenzy has formed around ChatGPT as well as AI-linked projects and crypto tokens.
Big tech companies are already looking to make a land grab in the space. Microsoft relaunched its Bing search engine with ChatGPT technology, naming it Sydney. SOURCE
