Shapes is a social networking app that integrates AI characters, known as “Shapes,” directly into human group conversations. Founded by Anushk Mittal and Noorie Dhingra, the startup recently secured $8 million in seed funding to expand its user base and development. Unlike isolated one-on-one AI interactions, Shapes aims to make AI a collaborative participant in community-style chats, helping to sustain conversations and increase engagement among users who share specific interests. With over 400,000 monthly active users, the platform emphasizes social connection, where AI acts as a facilitator rather than just a standalone tool.
