Pontem, the product development studio, is introducing Pontem.ai, an AI-driven chatbot designed to function as a comprehensive AI cryptocurrency assistant.
A crypto trader’s best friend
As per a press release issued by Pontem on Tuesday, Pontem.ai, the chatbot, possesses the capability to provide insights on the latest developments and subjects within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It can also offer guidance to users regarding various aspects, including purchasing NFTs, engaging in yield farming, staking, and more.
Currently, Pontem.ai is in its beta stage, and further development is required before it can be officially launched to the general public.
Alejo Pinto, co-founder of Pontem, emphasized, “The standard ChatGPT model lacks knowledge of cryptocurrency developments beyond September 2021, which necessitates substantial additional training for any AI crypto project.”
“A valuable up-to-date resource for the industry”
Pontem’s chatbot is set to eventually include image generation capabilities, enabling users to generate price charts and other technical indicators for specific cryptocurrencies on their desired timeframes.
The product development studio asserts that Pontem.ai offers a broader range of features compared to most other crypto chatbots currently available in the market. Many of these competitors limit the information they can provide to their own products or ecosystems.
Alejo Pinto added, “We leverage a combination of curated data sources, which include Pontem’s proprietary content, on-chain data, content from the Aptos Foundation, and leading blockchain projects encompassing Move, Ethereum DeFi, and more. By continually subjecting the model to new data loops, we believe we’ve created a valuable and up-to-date resource for the industry.”
Pontem completes successful seed round
In the past week, Pontem made headlines by announcing the successful completion of its latest funding round, securing a total of $6 million in investments. Notable investors in this round include Wintermute, Kraken Ventures, Lightspeed Faction, Pantera Capital, Aptos Foundation, Shima Capital, among others.
Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner at Pantera Capital, expressed enthusiasm for their investment in Pontem, emphasizing the company’s role in advancing the Move and Aptos ecosystem. He stated, “Pantera is excited to be investing into Pontem and help fuel the Move and Aptos ecosystem. We believe the team has been doing a tremendous job of building the necessary financial and technical infrastructure to bring consumers and developers to the decentralized web.”
A press release issued by Pontem indicated that the funds raised in this latest round will be instrumental in continuing to develop groundbreaking products utilizing Move and Move VM, both within the Aptos ecosystem and beyond. Furthermore, Pontem has plans to integrate the chatbot with its existing innovations, Liquidswap AMM and Pontem wallet, to enhance the user experience for on-chain trading and analysis.
Currently, Pontem.ai is compatible with popular platforms such as MetaMask, Facebook & Twitter, Gmail, and all major Aptos wallets. However, an official release date for Pontem.ai has not been disclosed at this time.
