Butterflies Launches AI-Integrated Social Media Platform with $4.8M Seed Funding

The new app allows users to create AI personas that interact with humans and other AIs in a dynamic social network.

Butterflies, founded by former Snap engineer Vu Tran, raised $4.8 million to launch its AI-integrated social media app.
The platform combines human and AI-generated content, allowing users to create AI personas called Butterflies.
These AI personas can post, comment, and interact with humans and other AIs, enhancing user engagement.
During its beta phase, tens of thousands of users spent an average of one to three hours daily on the app.
Butterflies aims to make AI interactions more natural and relatable, potentially transforming social media dynamics.
