Simile develops AI models that predict human behavior, creating "digital twins" for businesses to test decisions on synthetic populations before engaging with actual customers. The company focuses on simulating human behavior across various scenarios, including consumer choices, corporate strategies, and high-stakes situations.
Simile's $100 million Series A funding round was led by Index Ventures, with additional participation from Bain Capital Ventures, A*, Hanabi Capital, and contributions from AI luminaries Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy.
Simile is located in Palo Alto, California, United States, North America. The company emerged from seven months of stealth before announcing its significant funding.
Simile's platform utilizes AI agents trained on deep interview transcripts, historical transaction data, and behavioral science literature. These agents generate choices and reactions within simulations, allowing businesses to understand how real people might respond to different scenarios.
