Simile, which uses AI to help companies predict human behavior, including guessing items customers might buy, raised $100M led by Index and emerges from stealth

Congrats on the launch @simile_ai ! (and I am excited to be involved as a small angel.) Simile is working on a really interesting, imo under-explored dimension of LLMs. Usually, the LLMs you talk to have a single, specific, crafted personality. But in principle, the native,
“The startup said it aims to use its technology to anticipate the decisions a person might make in any given situation. To do that, it builds simulations populated by AI agents that represent the preferences of real people.”
