Tab Unveils a Personal AI Assistant That Handles Everyday Tasks

    “Tab” unveiled its personal artificial intelligence assistant on Tuesday and announced that it had emerged from stealth. The new company has been valued at $300 million (510 million manats). However, the exact amount of funding raised was not disclosed. The service promises to handle reservations, trip planning, and other everyday tasks on the user’s behalf.    Brennan Erbz, Stafford Schlitt, and Ammar Amdani have been working on “Tab” since the beginning of this year. Users describe what they need to the assistant in a simple message via “iMessage” or “WhatsApp.” The task can range from ordering groceries to finding a birthday gift. The assistant has its own phone number, computer, and wallet. As a result, it does not merely provide advice; it can also complete the task itself.    “SV Angel,” “Valar Ventures,” and “American Spirit” have invested in the project. The terms of the financing and the amount contributed by each investor were not disclosed. “Tab” is currently growing mainly through user referrals and plans to launch a new product soon. The company acknowledges that competition in the market for consumer artificial intelligence assistants is increasing rapidly.    According to “Tab,” success in this field will not be determined solely by powerful features and impressive demonstrations. An assistant that reads emails, makes calls, and buys products on a user’s behalf requires trust above all. Therefore, the company prioritizes having the service complete tasks securely rather than merely provide advice.    According to the company, user data is not used to train artificial intelligence models. Bank card information is stored in secure storage, and “Tab” cannot see it. No transaction that cannot later be reversed is carried out without the user’s consent. Through these rules, the company is seeking to build trust in sensitive activities such as reading emails, making phone calls, and shopping.
