Overview
- Tab said it left stealth on Tuesday and surfaced with a reported $300 million pre-seed valuation and investors that include SV Angel, Valar Ventures and American Spirit.
- The product runs inside iMessage and WhatsApp and gives each user an agent with its own phone number, separate compute environment and a dedicated wallet to complete tasks sent by text.
- Tab says the assistant can book travel, make phone calls, draft messages and process payments, and that no purchase is completed without the user’s explicit approval.
- The company claims user data will not be used to train its models and that payment cards are stored in a vault the company cannot access, but it has not disclosed round size, user counts or revenue.
- The launch comes as a crowded, fast-moving market prizes execution over chatty demos, and Tab’s valuation signals strong investor appetite while raising questions about platform access, user trust and scaling real-world task reliability.
