Former Meta executives found AI assistant startup Yutori and raise $15 million in financing

PANews reported on March 28 that according to Reuters, Yutori, an AI assistant startup founded by former Meta AI executives Devi Parikh and Dhruv Batra, has completed a US$15 million financing round. Investors include Radical Ventures as the lead investor, with participation from Felicis, AI Queen Fei-Fei Li, and Google DeepMind Chief Scientist Jeff Dean.

Yutori focuses on developing autonomous AI assistants, aiming to improve the efficiency of AI in performing complex tasks (such as online food ordering, travel arrangements, etc.) through post-training models. The core members of the team include the head of multimodal post-training who was responsible for the Meta Llama 3 and Llama 4 models. Yutori will use these technologies to optimize AI's capabilities in network navigation. Yutori's goal is to create an AI agent that can truly "do things for users", not just a simple chatbot.
