Oh raises $4.5 million to empower creators through AI and Web3 fusion

Oh, an innovative platform blending AI with Web3 technology has secured $4.5 million in seed funding, according to a Jan. 10 statement shared with CryptoSlate.

The oversubscribed round saw contributions from major players like Tangent, Big Brain Holdings, Kosmos Ventures, Tagus Capital, and Bodhi Ventures. It also received support from prominent angel investors like Delphi Ventures’ Yan Liberman.

What is Oh?

Oh aims to revolutionize how creators produce, interact, and profit in the Web3 era by integrating decentralization, user empowerment, and advanced AI technology.

Nic Young, co-founder and CEO of Oh, stated that the platform seeks to transform the creator economy by merging AI’s personalization strengths with the decentralized and censorship-resistant features of Web3. He emphasized that this combination offers a disruptive model for creators and their audiences.

He said:

“The intersection of AI and Web3 represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to disrupt the creator economy. By combining AI’s ability to generate and personalize content with the power to create communities with agentic capabilities, built on the decentralization and censorship resistance of Web3, traditional systems simply can’t compete.”

Ohchats and superModels

At the core of Oh’s ecosystem is OhChat, an AI-powered platform boasting a user base of nearly 100,000 across 174 countries. The platform allows users to interact with AI-generated characters, from unique digital personalities to virtual replicas of real-world figures.

Notably, celebrities like Carmen Electra and Kaili Thorne are already using the platform to engage millions of followers through AI-enhanced digital twins. Building on this success, Oh plans to launch “superModels” — autonomous, next-generation AI digital creators.

These AI agents go beyond simple interactions, offering dynamic capabilities such as building a social media presence, remembering user interactions, and developing evolving personalities.

SuperModel owners can monetize these digital agents, launch tokens linked to their revenue, and benefit from permissionless buybacks. This approach allows creators and their communities to share in the financial growth presented by the projects.

Token launch

Oh’s roadmap includes introducing token capabilities in the first quarter of this year to support its ecosystem.

These tokens would be built on the Solana blockchain, offering staking incentives and enabling tokenized ownership of superModels. Users can also tokenize their creations, opening doors for collaborative monetization and shared ownership.
