Still in beta and valued at $300 million: Tab lets AI make calls and payments for you.

Beating AI News Flash: Personal AI assistant startup Tab has announced the end of its stealth development phase, reaching a valuation of $300 million. Users do not need to install an additional app; they can simply send messages via iMessage or WhatsApp to have it make purchases, book flights, or modify hotel reservations.

Tab is equipped with its own phone number, computer, browser, and payment wallet. It can open web pages, fill out forms, and also call merchants, wait on hold, and send the results back to the chat window. When payments are involved, Tab first displays the merchant, product, and amount, and only executes after receiving user confirmation.

The three founders only began developing Tab this year. Investors include SV Angel, Valar Ventures, and American Spirit. The company has not disclosed the actual amount of funding raised, nor has it announced specific user numbers.

Facing similar products such as Instinct and Meta Muse, Tab uses privacy and payment security as its selling points. The company says it will not use user data to train AI, and bank card information will not be directly handed over to AI for processing. However, Tab is still in invite-only beta testing, and the wallet and automatic checkout features have not yet been fully opened.
