MyShell

San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

MyShell operates an interactive AI app store and model hub that lets users and creators build, share and integrate agents on multiple open-source foundation models. The platform emphasizes decentralization and open-source development and hosts projects such as OpenVoice, MeloTTS, and Allice. Led by CEO Ethan Sun, MyShell provides tools and an agent framework for complex AI development workflows. The company plans to use new funding to further develop its open-source models and agent platform for AI creators. MyShell reports over 1 million registered users and 50,000 creators on the platform and has attracted a range of community and investor support. MyShell operates a decentralized, integrated platform that enables discovery and creation of AI-native apps using generative AI capabilities such as large language models, image generation, and voice cloning. The company positions itself to make anyone a “super creator” of AI-native applications regardless of technical skill. MyShell plans to use recent funding to develop proprietary AI models, build a Creator Studio for AI-native apps, and establish a creator ecosystem on the blockchain. The platform has rapidly grown a community of over 400,000 users and 30,000 creators, which the company cites as the largest AI community within Web3. Financially, MyShell completed a $5.6 million seed funding round in October 2023 to support these product and ecosystem initiatives.
