Yutori Launches from Stealth with $15M Seed Funding to Build Consumer AI Assistants
Capable of Everyday Tasks on the Web
The company is innovating across the stack from research to product to deliver on the promise of an AI chief-of-staff agents that supported the multimodal assistant in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses and FAIR’s Boston Dynamics’ demos. Das’ PhD thesis, Building Agents that can See, Talk, and Act, was recognized by a AAAI / ACM SIGAI doctoral dissertation runner-up award in 2020. The rest of the founding team includes the multimodal post-training tech leads of Llama 3 and Llama 4, as well as engineers and builders from Meta, Gemini, Minion, CMU, and Stanford.
"Yutori's vision is to build a ’chief of staff for everyone’ — an intelligent, proactive partner that amplifies productivity and decision-making. That’s the future we’re commercializing, and it starts with solving the hard technical challenges today to deliver scalable, production-ready solutions tomorrow," said Rob Toews, partner at Radical Ventures. "The Yutori team believes that today’s prevailing approach to creating AI agents will never fully work at scale, and that fundamental technology advances are required to make powerful AI agents a reality. Yutori is one of the few teams on the planet with the technical depth to build a truly production-ready AI agent."
Yutori’s seed funding will be used to accelerate the development of its agent-first approach, grow its engineering and design teams, and prepare for its product launch. This spring, early adopters will have the chance to participate in a closed beta of Yutori’s first product offerings. To join the waitlist, visit yutori.com.
