Blockchain-based AI startup Sentient Foundation has launched Sentient Chat, an industry-first agentic chatbot featuring 15 natively integrated AI agents. Introduced at the Open AGI Summit during ETH Denver, the chatbot has already garnered over 1 million early access sign-ups within 24 hours, creating a major buzz in the AI ecosystem alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Mistral AI.
Powered by Dobby, the world’s first community-owned AI model, Sentient Chat enables real-time search, integrating live internet data, making it a strong alternative to Perplexity and Google.
Sentient Foundation, co-founded by Sandeep Nailwal (Founder of Polygon Labs), Pramod Viswanath, and Himanshu Tyagi, secured an $85 million seed round, co-led by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, and Framework Ventures. The company is committed to decentralized AI solutions, enabling developers and researchers to monetize AI contributions.
With Dobby NFT holders getting priority access and new AI agents rolling out, Sentient Chat is setting new industry standards for AI-driven conversations.
