Tab exits stealth at a $300 million valuation with an AI agent that lives in your texts

Key Summary

Tab, a personal AI agent startup, has emerged from stealth with a $300 million pre-seed valuation, valuing its product at a remarkable number for a company still behind a waitlist. The agent operates natively inside iMessage and WhatsApp, allowing users to hand off tasks by sending a message, and can perform practical chores such as booking flights and making payments. The valuation signals investors' appetite for AI assistants that can complete tasks on a user's behalf, rather than just answering questions.
