Yutori, the company building personal AI assistants that automate everyday digital tasks, emerged from stealth with $15 million in seed funding led by Radical Ventures, with participation from Felicis and over a dozen stellar angel investors, including AI luminaries Fei-Fei Li and Jeff Dean, as well as prominent investors Elad Gil, Sarah Guo (Conviction) and Sandhya Venkatachalam (Axiom). Technology leaders such as Amjad Masad (Replit), Akshay Kothari (Notion), Oliver Cameron (Odyssey), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Soleio, and Logan Kilpatrick (Google AI Studio), among others, participated in the round.
Yutori is pioneering an agent-first approach that unlocks accurate and reliable personal AI assistants capable of executing tasks across the web. “Productivity isn’t about cramming more into your day — it’s about reclaiming your attention for what truly matters, and amplifying the outcomes of the time you give something. Yutori’s mission is to build the best AI assistants to make space for the meaningful things in life,” said Devi Parikh, co-CEO and co-founder of Yutori.
Today’s frontier AI models enable great chatbots but can’t complete tasks autonomously. Yutori was founded to build personal AI assistants that are so reliable that they become the primary drivers of action on the web. These assistants will handle tasks and actions ranging from scheduling and communications to authentication and transactions, effectively coordinating users’ lives — creating a world where everyone has access to a team of digital assistants.

This shift will completely redefine how people interact with the web, but to get there, an entirely new approach is required. Current agentic applications built around LLMs propagate errors over long sequences of actions involved in complex tasks, leading to degraded accuracies and as a result, a poor user experience. To make LLMs effective at completing tasks, Yutori is developing an agent-first approach – rather than an LLM-first approach – that unlocks performance across planning and execution.
“When you’re reimagining, from scratch, the interface between consumers and the web — you can’t be focused just on the AI models or just on the orchestration or application layers,” said Abhishek Das, co-CEO and co-founder. “To raise both the floor and ceiling of human productivity on the web, you need to innovate across the stack in a coherent and tightly coupled way. That’s what we’re doing at Yutori.”
