Summary

Era has raised $11 million in funding to develop a software platform designed to power the next generation of AI-driven hardware.

Founded by former industry professionals from companies like Humane and HP, Era supports over 130 large language models, aiming to replace traditional app-based models with more dynamic, intelligent, and user-customizable hardware experiences.
