成立仅一年的 AI 初创公司 Instinct 完成新一轮融资,在 AI 热潮带动下估值快速攀升。该公司向《华尔街日报》表示,最近完成 2.5 亿美元 B 轮融资,累计融资总额增至 3.5 亿美元,最新估值为 25 亿美元。

本轮由两家机构领投

据《华尔街日报》报道,本轮融资由 Index Ventures 和 Benchmark 共同领投。报道未披露更多投资条款。

Instinct 由 Spear Street Technology 推出,创始人为 23 岁的 Noah Shinn。公司将这款产品定位为一名 AI 助手,用户可将其接入常用应用和设备,并通过短信或电话与其交互。

产品主打生活事务处理

按照公司说法,这款助手可帮助用户安排日常事务。Shinn 在社交平台发文称,早期用户已用 Instinct 规划跨州自驾、采购每周杂货、购买演出票,并取消部分订阅支出。还有用户用它协助筹备婚礼。

目前,Instinct 仍处于私测阶段,尚未全面开放。

隐私与权限问题引发讨论

随着关注度上升,这款产品也因隐私问题受到质疑。部分用户在线讨论其权限申请范围较大,也有人对使用条款中可能涉及的敏感授权表示担忧。

在 AI 助手赛道持续升温的背景下,Instinct 以较短时间拿到高额融资,显示资本市场仍在追逐具备用户热度的消费级 AI 产品。不过,产品若要进一步扩大开放范围,隐私与权限设计仍将是外界关注重点。
