MyShell, a Tokyo-based decentralized AI platform used to create"AI girlfriends," has raised $11 million in pre-series A funding for its AI app-building ecosystem.
MyShell pitches itself as an ecosystem for AI creators to develop and deploy applications. The new funds will be used to further the development of its open-source foundational model and to support its community"of over 1 million registered users and 50,000 creators," according to a statement. Crypto will"uniquely enable" MyShell to"help creators and AI model researchers to monetize their work," and blockchains will serve as the foundation for"a dedicated platform to trade, and own AI assets," MyShell CEO Ethan Sun told CoinDesk in an email.
MyShell provides a space for users to showcase their creations in its Discord discussion community, and most of the agents shared there tend to be AI girlfriends designed to look like cutesy anime characters – many of which gate access behind"not safe for work" content warnings.
