These Yale and Berkeley dropouts just raised $2 million to build an AI assistant that could rival OpenAI
Y Combinator-backed startup Martin AI secures $2M seed funding to challenge Siri and Google with its innovative personal AI assistant, built by 19-year-old founders to revolutionize how consumers interact with AI through custom memory architecture and multi-channel accessibility.
