Flagship Product: OhChat

However, in the center of Oh’s ecology is OhChat, an AI-based platform in which users may interact with their AI-generated counterparts. These come in the range of completely newly created characters, to digital counterparts of real individuals. OhChat currently has nearly 100,000 users from around 174 different countries, signaling the global potential for AI-led digital engagement.

Celebrity Engagement

For instance, Carmen Electra, Kaili Thorne, and Rio Sage are some of the celebrities who have adopted OhChat. They have created digital twins to interact with their fans. The total number of followers that these digital personas have reached is over 10 million. This shows that the platform can improve fan interaction and content personalization.

“SuperModels”

Building on the success of OhChat, the company will be launching “superModels” which are autonomous, next-generation AI digital creators with agentic capabilities. The AI agents will be designed to:

• Develop Social Media Presence: superModels can autonomously grow their own social media following, engaging with users across various platforms.
• Personalized Interactions: They remember user interactions, allowing for more personalized and dynamic engagements.
• Evolving Personalities: Integrated life planners could help superModels’ personalities evolve or change over time, thus adding to user experience.

This product will give new means of access to the public for creators on audience interaction as well as monetary gains through AI-enhanced scaling for their digital footprints.

Monetization and Revenue Sharing

It enables people to create, own, and monetize their AI-driven agents. Through collaboration with other stakeholders, creators also get the biggest share of any revenue generated from their AI agent. Furthermore, in permissionless buybacks, superModel creators can increase the amount they stand to earn more by creating tokens linked to revenue generated by the agent, allowing for a fresh model of money-making in the creator economy.

Seed Funding Round Contributors

Some big investors took part in the seed funding round among them:

• Tangent
• Big Brain Holdings
• Kosmos Ventures
• Tagus Capital
• Bodhi Ventures

Other notable angel investors, including Yan Liberman, co-founder of Delphi Ventures, were part of the round, reflecting deep confidence in Oh’s vision and potential.

Strategic Vision

According to Nic Young, Co-Founder and CEO of Oh, “our vision for the company was strategic”.

“The intersection of AI and Web3 represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to disrupt the creator economy. By combining AI’s ability to generate and personalize content with the power to create communities with agentic capabilities, built on the decentralization and censorship resistance of Web3, traditional systems simply can’t compete. It’s a paradigm shift for creators, consumers, and investors alike.”

Future Plans

Looking ahead, Oh plans to:

Launch Utility Token: In the first quarter of 2025, introduce its utility token, $OH, deployed on the Solana blockchain, allowing for transaction settlement within the Solanafloor ecosystem.

Expand Product Suite: Further develop additional AI-driven products and contribute to the Oh.Fun product line with the primary objective of decentralized, user-owned alternatives for existing platforms and supporting creators.
