Oh, a Web3 creator platform powered by artificial intelligence, has raised $4.5 million in an oversubscribed seed funding round, the company announced.
The round included investments from prominent crypto and AI-focused firms, including Tangent, Big Brain Holdings, Kosmos Ventures, Tagus Capital and Bodhi Ventures, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
The creator platform’s main product — OhChat, which enables the creation of AI-driven “digital twins” for online creators — is already nearing 100,000 users across 174 countries.
Oh’s co-founder and CEO, Nic Young, said the platform aims to disrupt the creator economy by merging AI’s content personalization capabilities with the decentralized, censorship-resistant features of Web3:
“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. It’s a paradigm shift for creators, consumers and investors alike.”
The $4.5 million funding will be used to deploy “superModels,” autonomous, AI-based digital creators with agentic capabilities, which is set to offer a new revenue stream for digital creators.
The announcement comes during a period of heightened interest in AI agents catalyzed by Luna — an AI agent on Virtuals Protocol that executed an autonomous transaction on the blockchain with another AI agent without direct human input, Cointelegraph reported on Jan. 2.

“SuperModels” AI agents present a new revenue stream for online creators
As opposed to generic chatbots, Oh aims to create autonomous AI influencers with real revenue generation potential.
Young said some early AI agents on the platform have already generated monthly revenues in the $10,000 range.
“Both types are generating monthly revenues in the four to five-figure range. This success has been achieved even before them being unleashed on X to build their funnel to expand reach and convert users,” he said.
Oh’s AI agents can grow their own social media presence, interact with followers and create evolving personalities based on these social interactions.
However, Young said part of their appeal lies in the platform’s celebrity integrations.
“The key to their profitability lies in the integration of superModels with globally recognized creators and celebrities,” he said.
The platform is collaborating with celebrities, including Carmen Electra, Rio Sage and Kaili Thorne, which offer their AI agents exposure to large fan bases to monetize these agents, Young added.
The platform plans to launch its utility token during the first quarter of 2025, which will be deployed on the Solana blockchain along with all the protocol’s onchain assets.
The new token will offer staking incentives and enable the tokenized, fractional ownership of its new AI agents, enabling multiple users to profit from the growth of the same AI agent.
