This week on Tech Can't Save Us, host Paul David is joined by Dawson Chen, co-founder and CEO of Martin AI, a Y Combinator-backed startup building what they claim is a more intuitive and personalised AI assistant that rivals offerings from tech giants like OpenAI and Google.
At just 19 years old, Dawson left Yale University to pursue his vision of creating an AI assistant that feels like having your own personal Jarvis. They discuss how Martin is filling gaps that current AI assistants haven't addressed, the advantages of being a scrappy startup competing with tech giants, and the most surprising ways people are using Martin.
Dawson also reflects on their recent $2 million seed funding round and why he believes the future will be about which company has the most viral AI product.
