"Series AI allows users to text a phone number on iMessage, explaining who they are and who they want to connect with. The AI then responds with 'shares'—a carousel of images from other users looking to connect for similar reasons."
"Johnson sees a massive technology shift from user interfaces to conversation interfaces, comparing the transition from traditional search methods to engaging with AI for quick information retrieval."
"The founders, Johnson and Hargrow, met while working on a podcast in their freshman year, highlighting their entrepreneurial spirit and collaboration from an early stage."
Series, a social networking app founded by Yale students, raised $5.1 million in pre-seed funding. The platform operates through iMessage, allowing users to connect by texting a phone number. Users receive 'shares' of images from others looking to connect, facilitating private conversations without sharing personal numbers. The founders believe the industry is shifting from user interfaces to conversation interfaces, positioning themselves as part of a new generation of AI-first entrepreneurs. This approach is seen as advantageous compared to older founders adapting to new technologies.
