Milo, an AI assistant for busy parents, has attracted investment from Y Combinator, OpenAI, Bronze Investments, and Magnify Ventures. The amount of the investments is not disclosed. This is clear from the Crunchbase data, which caught the attention of the RB.RU correspondent.
Milo (My Important Loved Ones) is a “virtual secretary” powered by GPT-4 technology that helps working parents structure their children’s lists, chores, and schedules.
The company was founded by Avni Patel Thompson. In 2020, Y Combinator invested in Milo, but then the startup was about to shut down: developments were failing, money was running out.
In parallel, Thompson closely followed the development of OpenAI and contacted the company’s CEO, Sam Altman, to see if GPT-4 was the missing piece that could make Milo fully operational. Altman responded that he was on the right track and put her in touch with his team.
Milo is currently in beta. You can try the assistant at this stage for $40 a month. Parents can send text and voice messages, photos, and Milo will structure everything and remind you of important dates.
