Former Plaud executive Peter Mo has raised $26 million, led by Luminous Ventures, for Ambi — an AI app that listens in the background all day and surfaces suggestions mid-meeting.
The concept is proactive AI: rather than waiting for you to ask, Ambi monitors the flow of your day and offers relevant input in the moment. iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch apps launch today.
The idea raises obvious questions about privacy and the social dynamics of an always-listening assistant in meetings. But with investors pouring money into ambient AI, Ambi is betting that the convenience will win out.
