Photon Raises $4.5M to Help Replace Mobile Apps With AI Agents
Photon has raised $4.5 million in seed funding to expand a platform that helps developers build AI agents working through iMessage and WhatsApp. The company says more than 40,000 developers have signed up and revenue grew tenfold in four months.
The startup is betting that conversational agents will absorb many tasks now handled by standalone mobile apps. Its deliberately theatrical “funeral for mobile apps” campaign framed that shift, while the new capital gives the team room to turn the idea into a broader developer platform.
