""Today, all of our conversations with AI are very private and one-on-one, but that's not really how humans collaborate and communicate with each other. Our lives run on group chats. That's where we spend all of our time. That's where we talk and communicate with each other. It's just natural to bring in AI into those same conversations where AI has all of the context and is readily available to help you.""
""Users can create their own Shapes and set their personalities. The company says users have already created three million Shapes to add into group chats. Many Shapes are rooted in fandom, as the app serves as a way for fans to deep-dive on subculture and meet other fans.""
Shapes is an app that combines human users and AI characters in group conversations, emerging with $8 million in seed funding. Founded in 2022, it has over 400,000 monthly active users. The app aims to mitigate issues related to AI Psychosis by promoting social interaction rather than isolating users. AI characters, known as Shapes, can engage like human users and are customizable. The app encourages users to select interests for tailored group chat recommendations, fostering community and fandom engagement.
