Description

Tired of lonely chatbots? Berlin startup Born just landed $15M to revolutionize AI companions with Pengu, the generative AI pet game that requires *two* people to raise a virtual critter. Investors are betting big that Born's social approach – connecting people in real life, not just on screens – can fight loneliness and reshape how young people relate to technology. Get ready for ultra-realistic AI friends who remember your conversations and even send you TikToks!
