The company said Monday the money came across multiple funding rounds led by Luminous Ventures, which has backed Meituan and Unitree Robotics, and original design manufacturer Huaqin. Ambi is also releasing apps for iPhone, Mac and Apple Watch. They work like meeting note-takers, but users can choose to leave them listening so they capture context all day.
Meeting note-taking companies already automate tasks after calls end, using summaries, action items and connectors to software systems. Ambi wants its agent to start the work during the meeting itself.
That agent can offer suggestions or surface relevant knowledge mid-meeting, drawing on a user's calendar, meetings, knowledge base and web data. Users can start a task on one device and continue it on another.
The catch is privacy. Tech companies argue the more an AI knows about a person, the better it can assist them. But an app that collects data continuously raises obvious privacy and data security concerns. Startups are building them anyway, betting the market for personalized assistance is big enough to swallow those worries.
So the question for Ambi's users is simple: how much of your day are you willing to let an app hear?
