Nectar AI Raises $3.9M to Build Uncensored Immersive AI Companions

New York, New York, August 26th, 2024, Chainwire

 

Nectar AI, an immersive AI companionship platform, announced today it has raised $3.9 million in funding.

The seed round is co-led by Mechanism Capital and Karatage, with participation from Synergis, Maelstrom (Arthur Hayes), Builder Capital, Baboon, and Decima. Notable angel investors include Tekin Salimi and George Lambeth (Dao5), Albert Chon (Cofounder at Injective), Charles Lu (Cofounder at Espresso Systems), Gabby Dizon (Cofounder at YGG), and several other key figures in the crypto space.

The proceeds will be used to scale the team with several key hires on both the AI and protocol side, as well as increase capacity for new partnerships and affiliates.

Nectar AI’s mission is to allow users to create and interact with AI companions that feel indistinguishable from reality. Leveraging the latest developments in generative AI and web3, Nectar AI allows users to create uncensored & replicable multimodal AI companions in either a realistic or anime style. Users can customize their characters at a level of depth unmatched by other platforms, by detecting user intent and responding appropriately with images or text within seconds. Generative AI video creation is also available on the platform, with more in depth video and voice messages coming soon. In the future, users will be able to port their created companions onchain, giving them full IP ownership of their assets as well as the ability to permissionlessly monetize them.

Currently, over 500,000 users on the platform create both AI stories and companions, which allows storytellers to create rich and dynamic role playing experiences that can range from medieval adventures to different encounters. Companions are AI generated agents that can star in any of these stories, similar to casting an actress for a movie.

Members of the Nectar community have lauded the platform for its ability to make uncensored immersive content for entertainment and emotional support.

One user said, “A recent update allowed me to transform my photos into companions. The new ability to bring portraits to life inspired me to create a music video with one of them as the protagonist. Nectar is such a creator-friendly platform, and I’m really looking forward to more updates and eventually monetize my assets.”

Keccak and Zi, the co-founders of Nectar AI, first met at Stanford and began working on the project in August 2023. Prior, Keccak helped start a prominent AI & crypto fund and Zi made significant contributions to realistic synthetic facial generation at Meta and L1 Blockchains. Nectar is set on developing a new protocol set to release later this year to enable financialization of on-chain AI agents.

About Nectar

Nectar AI is building out the future of human and AI interaction. We believe that these experiences should be uncensored and immersive, and our flagship product allows users to create personalized and multimodal AI companions.

With over 500k users, Nectar AI’s mission is to become the most powerful decentralized platform for creating AI assets, and to deliver an integrated experience both on and offchain. Nectar AI was founded in 2023 by Keccak and Zi, who both graduated from Stanford, and has founding team members from top companies and protocols.

Digital Banking Platform Market Set to Surge to USD 164.7 Billion By 2032, Widespread Smartphone Usage and Mobile Internet Access Enable On-The-Go Banking Services which is Propelling the Market Growth | Research by SNS Insider

2024-09-17T13:00:00Z

According to Research by SNS Insider, Legacy Banks Collaborate with Fintech Companies to Improve Their Digital Platforms and Technology Infrastructure to Aid Digital Banking Platform Market Growth

Pune, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Banking Platform Market Size Analysis:

The global Digital Banking Platform Market, valued at USD 30.3 Billion in 2023, is projected to reach USD 164.7 Billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7% during the forecast period.

The banking industry is rapidly going through digitalization, and smart mobile tools and digital banking services are required by consumers. These are the main drivers in the market. Thus, banks are mainly inclined towards digital banking platforms due to such benefits as lower IT cost, quick time-to-market, open banking, out-of-the-box yet an opportunity to configure solutions, omnichannel customer experience, and microservice architecture. For instance, it was recently announced that on December 12, 2022, Deloitte had teamed up with Amazon Web services to address a perennial issue: the transition to digital-first offerings that span the gamut of banking from customer-facing activities to the back office. Regarding the fact that the processors used by neo-banks are still shallow, they still represent a small market, but they grow faster in terms of increasing market share. Even though they serve their customers at about a third of the cost of a standard bank, the interest of venture backers in them appears to be waning. In the meantime, fintechs are focused on the most attractive niches in the value chain. The big techs and large user communities pose the greatest danger. Incumbents are spending a fortune on innovation, with only a few laggards fading away.

Segmentation Dynamics

The on-premise segment was the market leader, holding a revenue share of 73.2% in 2023. The on-premise model installed at the user’s site is a common choice for many users of these systems, as it is perceived by many as more secure than cloud software. If the software is hosted on the customer’s premises, their IT and security teams have direct access and therefore full control over its installation, configuration, management, and security. In various countries with strict regulations on the storage of financial data, large and well-established banks often opt for on-premise solutions because they have the capacity available. The cloud segment held the second-largest market share and there is potential for this segment to grow the fastest in terms of CAGR in the forecast period. The success of inclusive banking in the future will depend on the adoption of cloud and SaaS solutions. Although cloud and SaaS solutions provide basic financial services to the populations considered by inclusive banking, there are challenges in the inclusive banking environment.
