Alibaba and Ant Join Forces to Invest $30 Million in AI Companionship Startup 'Natural Selection,' Which is Gaining Prominence!

Recently, AI companionship company "NatureSelect" announced a funding round exceeding $30 million, with investors including internet giants such as Alibaba and Ant Group. This funding news has attracted widespread attention in the industry, marking further development in AI companionship technology.

Since its establishment, "NatureSelect" has been committed to applying artificial intelligence into people's daily lives. Its product "EVE" not only has proactive care features but also provides users with a more immersive experience through high emotional intelligence and high IQ interactions.

This system allows the AI to remember users' preferences and emotional states over a long period, thereby providing more personalized companionship services. At the same time, investors have shown great interest in the company's 3D visual design and interactive experience, which gives "NatureSelect" a unique advantage in the increasingly competitive AI companionship market.

Although there are more and more competitors in the AI companionship field, "NatureSelect" is striving to create a future where humans and AI coexist harmoniously, relying on its deep background in artificial intelligence and the gaming industry. With the completion of this funding, the company will further increase its R&D efforts, aiming to take a place in the global market.

This funding not only provides financial support for "NatureSelect" but also brings new momentum for innovation in the entire AI companionship industry. In the future, as technology continues to advance, we may see AI companionship products playing an increasingly important role in our lives.
