Former Meta AI leaders launch Yutori with $15 million in funding

With $15 million in funding, Yutori aims to redefine AI assistants by creating autonomous agents that can efficiently manage tasks such as ordering food and booking travel.
Yutori, a new AI startup founded by former Meta executives, raised $15 million to develop personal AI assistants that perform tasks like food orders and travel logistics autonomously.

Two former Meta AI executives have secured $15 million in funding for Yutori, a San Francisco-based startup focused on developing AI personal assistants.

The funding round was led by Radical Ventures, with backing from prominent investors including AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li and Google DeepMind’s Jeff Dean.

Yutori aims to create autonomous AI agents capable of executing complex online tasks without human intervention. Unlike traditional chatbots, these AI assistants will handle real-world actions, from ordering food to managing travel plans, streamlining everyday digital interactions.

The company is also advancing post-training techniques to enhance AI models’ ability to navigate the web efficiently.

With a team of experts who previously worked on Meta’s AI projects, including the development of Llama 3 and Llama 4 models, Yutori is positioning itself at the forefront of AI-driven automation.
